I love thai food. There are two thai places here that have the same name. This can get confusing when ordering take out. So this is how it went down. I ordered a delicious meal of Pad See Ew (vegan please..no fish sauce or egg) and I went to pick it up at the time at which I was told it would be ready. When I got there, the counter person said, "we don't have your order, you must of ordered from the other place." Disgusted, I checked my cell phone for the number I called, showed it to the counter person and asked if it was their number. They replied that, "yes, that's our number, but we don't have your order!" I implored them to search for it as my stomach shrank with fear. They eventually found it mixed in with the finished orders, although none of my food had been cooked.
They cordially asked me to wait and it would be up and apologized to my satisfaction. As I waiting there, apparently a family came in who had ordered from the other place, but didn't feel like going there and getting it and so ordered it a second time with no intention of driving across town to the other place. As they were waiting the little boy looked at his pregnant mother and said he was thirsty. The mom sort of ignored his cries for a drink until he said the darndest thing, "Mommy, I know...soon you are going to push water out of your tummy, I could drink that!" Trying to stifle my laughter, I turned around as to not look anyone in the family in the face. The mom, quickly asked for a drink from a passing waiter and chose not to reply to the little boy's plea for "tummy water."
