Two firemen came to dine at my restaurant.
"Where is the breakfast menu?" demanded the fireman Captain.
"There is no breakfast menu. This is a buffet restaurant." I informed the two firemen, both dwarfish, wearing a ridiculously large helmet. They had parked their fire-trikes next to the dining table.
"What is a buffet?" inquired the Captain.
"A buffet is where you get to choose your own food. Now you may come to our kitchen to get some cereals or have toast for breakfast."
So EggEgg and Cola proceeded to the cupboards to get their own cups and plates.
"I want a hot chocolate and Mud-tella on toast, please Mami."
"Mud-tella (Nutella) coming up soon, sir. Don't call me Mami, call me Waitress."
"Can you please hurry up, waitress, we need to go to the cinema to watch a movie at 10 o'clock."
(10am is the earliest time when the TV is allowed to be turned on.)
"What is the cinema showing today?"
"Narnia!" chimed in Cola in excitement.
We've been watching Narnia 8 times this fortnight already, ever since the day we rented the DVD. The kids have only been to the real cinema once, and they have fond memories of it ever since.
"Can you get your fireman buddy to hurry up? He's really slow." Cola takes forever with his meals, be it a slice of toast or just a glass of water.
After chomping down their breakfast, the fireman Captain asked, "I want to pay now. How much do I need to pay?"
"Erm, two dollars."
"Here's your money." He shoved me some invisible coins.
"Please put away your own cups and plates at the sink."
"But this is a restaurant! Waitress must put away the plates."
"Mate, this is a FAST-FOOD restaurant. You gotta clear away your own trays and plates."
So EggEgg and Cola took their plates to the sink, spilling out half of the bread crumbs along the way.
"Hang on there, mister. Look at all your bread crumbs. Please vacuum the floor before you head off to the cinema."
"But... we're firemen. We don't vacuum floors!"
"Oooo. You're quite right. Well, well. Look, there's a fire on the floor. Can you use that water hose (aka vacuum cleaner) over there to dose off the fire?"
And there goes another lovely morning.
