a mom-date with my boy

I had a "mom-date" with Chris on the Friday before he went back to school. We had errands to run, but were going to Pappy's Bar-b-que for lunch. We had never been there, but Chris had seen it on the food channel. When we got there, the line was out the door. The wait was not too long though, and the people in line with us were friendly. They had heard about Mom's Deli, so we were agreeing with them that they should try it and get the Mom's Special...the "only thing on the menu." Paul and I had stopped there before the Muny and he was going to look at the menu, but I told him he didn't need to. Chris agreed. I digress......so when we ordered our lunch, it came almost as we were sitting down. I had the pulled chicken sandwich, Chris had the pulled pork, and we shared a hot link frito-pie. All was sooo good. But then, a man brought out 2 ribs for Chris....a direct quote..."That was the best meat I've ever had." I liked them too, at least the little bite he shared. In normal Chris fashion, he talked to the man who brought him the ribs, as well as another man who we believe to be the owner.

While waiting for Chris to get refills as we were leaving, the owner and I were talking, he offered a camouflage hat for Chris. I didn't think he'd wear it, so I said no thanks, but I appreciated it. Silly me, I told Chris this later in the day and he was mad at me. He said that I was not allowed to make any decisions when it comes to food or food-related items for him. He said if we hadn't been so far away, he would have made me go back. So when he got home he emailed the owner about his mom's mistake. When Paul and I went back that next week with friends, the man had Chris' hat. Now I have to send it to him....guess that's my punishment for making incorrect decisions for him when it comes to food.
