my in n out saga
it all started about two weeks ago. all i had been wanting all day was a frosty chocolate shake from in n out. so, around ten pm, i did something that surprised even me, and got out of bed for the day, my heart set on making the long journey down to the drive thru some five or more blocks away.
and after all this, all this waiting and toiling, what should happen, but they’re out of shakes! period!
needless to say, i went home unsatisfied, and for a while, i suppose i had forgotten all about that sad night and the events that had sent me into a tailspin.
until i went back there, just today. i ordered a shake, and the funny thing is, i actually thought as i ordered it, man, i want a shake so bad this time, if they only had vanilla, i’d take it gladly! so i ordered my shake, and what does she say. “i’m sorry we only have vanilla.” “sold!” i said, thinking about my luck.
then i pulled around and the first thing i noticed which made me kind of uneasy, was that i saw her, kind of approaching my car again in the rear view with a solemn kind of expression. “Sorry. They just told me. We’re out of shakes completely.”
Well, i was disappointed, clearly. But little did I know, that’s when everything would change forever.
When I pulled to the second window, the lady handed me my grilled cheese animal style, and said, you don’t want your shake? What? I said, with total incredulity. I thought you were out?
We are now, she said with a smile, handing me my frosty beverage.
And that’s when I knew, everything was going to be okay.
The End.
** what i like best about this is the shotty third grade style, but also how i abandoned quotation marks because I was bored half way through.
