How to make Chris jump


Just say "Lasagna!"

Went out to the cafe for our daily fix of food for lunch. I have ordered a mixture of meat and veggies on rice, while Chris went for a simple "I'll have a lasagna with a side salad, please, thank you". We barely sat down when he jumped up just as the cashier shouted: "Lasagna!".

He runs slow motion through the cafe, overturning chairs, pushing people off to the side, when someone just grabs the lasagna and walks off.

"Oh!" says Chris and backs up to our table slightly pink in the face.

"Beef and Rice!" shouts the cashier, when i slowly unload the weight off my chair and push my way through the line. I come back to my desk and sit down, as Chris jumps up yet again in what is the exact copy of the slow motion run to the cashier. This time it wasn't even "Lasagna!" she shouted, more like Chicken Chow Mein.

He realizes his hungry mistake a little too late as half of the cafe turns around to look at the spectacle and backs away a wee-bit too fast and hits a table.

"This is embarassing!" he says quietly.

He can't help it he's so skinny, he needs to eat a lot and fast..

"Lasagna!" shouts laughing cashier. Chris slowly turns his head and looks in wonder. She points at him: "Yes, you this time!".

We thank the cashier and the people in the cafe and push our way out of the door, happy with the warm food in our hands.
