Allow me to share a funny story that was not funny at the time but I look back on fondly! About 2 years ago I was getting off of work I was tired, stressed and sluggish everything that helps with a stutter! And my girlfriend and I had planned to get dinner from Wendy’s and for me to pick order it and pick it up through the dreaded drive thru and my god do I hate drive thrus. Anyway I get to the line and the whole way up I am rehearsing “2 10pc chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce” *EASY! NO PROBLEM I GOT THIS!* I thought I pulled up to the speaker and froze then I went to order I said, “Hey yeah, can I get t-“ *oh damn I won’t be able to say two try three!* “Can I get th-“ *NOPE OK WHAT ABOUT FOUR TRY FOUR!* “Can I get FOUR 10pc nuggets with BBQ sauce please.” And I came home to my loving girlfriend who I proudly showed the FOUR 10pc nuggets to and told her that story and we laughed and laughed and she said, “Well hey! We’ll have some for tomorrow!” Just a quick bout of levity for everyone! Hope you all have a great rest of you day!
