Stephen: Why is everything whipped out here? Whipped butter, whipped yogurt, whipped cream…
Me: That is a good question…
Stephen: How do you spell Arkansas?
Me: A-r-k-a-n-s-a-s
S: ok.
Me: Why?
S: I was just wondering because i didnt know if there was a state called Arkansas and one called Ar-kansas
Me: :::Laughs:::
S: How do you spell Kansas then?
Me: K-a-n-s-a-s
S: So you put an A-R at the front and all of a sudden it end in an ‘aw’ sound?
:::while in the car:::
S: stick your head outtha window to hear the gowl of her
M: What? The gRowl of her?
S: Ya gowl. same thing.
M: Except that its missing a letter…and I don’t even get what you are saying. Who is growling?
S: The car
:::During breakfast:::
S: I keep ordering *coffee cakes but none of them ever taste like coffee
M: they arnt supposed to taste like coffee
S: then why are they called coffee cake?? That makes no sense
M: I guess because you have them with your coffee?
S: that is so shtupid.
::::Watching the food network and a coffee cake is being made:::
S: another stupid “coffee” cake
M: I know babe…
S: What about a chocolate cake? You dont call it that because you eat it with chocolate. Or an orange cake is some vanilla cake but you eat it with oranges? I was waiting to have a coffee cake with this delicious coffee flavor…and then no.
M: I see how this can be upsetting
*this conversation over the coffee cakes has happened at least 5 times since his first experience with a coffee cake.
::At a drive thru::
S: Can I have a number two please?
Drive thru operator: A number three?
S: No, a number two
DTO: Ok, a number three no onions…
S: NO. a number TWO. TWO.
DTO: Yes, okay a number three.
:::At ANOTHER drive thru:::
S: Can I get two number 6’s
DTO: Three number 6’s
S: NO. TWO number 6’s
DTO: A number three?
S: NO. TWO. TWO number 6’s
:::At ANOTHER drive thru:::
S: Can I get a number two no tomato and a number three with cheese
DTO: ok two number threes one no tomato, one with cheese
S: NO. a number TWO. *turns to me and cusses*
:::At ANOTHER drive thru last night(hand to god I am not making this up for dramatic affect) :::
S: Can I get two number 5’s
DTO: Three numbers 5s
S: No two. TWO NUMBER 5s. TWO.
DTO: Three?
S: No. TWO. TOOOOOOOOO. not three. two.
DTO: I’m sorry, a number three?
DTO in the back yells: HE WANTS TWO NUMBER 5’s. TWO
This may be a sign we need to cut back on our drive thru meals.
This is probably the funniest thing ever! I wanted to hear how he says two so badly!
I am cracking up at Arkansas and Kansas convo- he is hilarious! I never even thought about it that way, either! Too funny!
i love these posts and those drive thru convos are hilarious 🙂
hahahaha drive thru frustrations, we’ve all been there. welcome to the usa, stephen!
also, i think HE’S whipped too.
…for you.
bam. and out.
I could see how these things would be confusing!
I’m trying to read this during nephrology class. My classmates hate you for the distraction of my giggles…
These are hilarious! Maybe you should do the ordering for now 🙂
These drive-they antics are cracking me up!
Where the heck do you go to drive thrus? In in out? So help me…
I always love these posts, too funny!! My mom makes this amazing chocolate cake with coffee IN it! And the frosting has coffee as well. If you’re interested I can send the recipe, it’s a coffee cake that actually tastes like coffee 🙂
I think you guys need to do a video reenactment of the drive-thru experience so we can all hear exactly how Stephen is pronouncing these two very not-similar-sounding words.
Good point about the coffee cake though.
Seriously, you need to start making vlogs like asap because that is HILARIOUS!!
gotta admit. the coffee cake thing does make sense. maybe you can get him some tiramisu and tell him THAT is coffee cake. I think they even use real espresso?
Poor Stephen. Did you mention that people who live in Arkansas are Ar-kansans? We’re a peculiar breed.
Now you need to have S count in your vlog so we can all hear how he says two and three, ha, these are way too much! Poor guy, can only imagine how frustrating those drive thru experiences are!!!
he brings up a good point with the coffee cakes too.
Hahaha. Hilarious.
This makes me laugh so hard – darling 🙂
The Arkansas thing has just blown my mind. I thought it was two different places too…
Poor Stephen, though now I kind of think you should make a video of him counting to ten, or record your next drive through experience!
This is my favourite conversation post to date. As others have said id love to hear how Stephen is pronouncing two.
Kelly
Haha, I love these posts! I would be beyond aggravated at the drive thrus! Isn’t coffee cake sometimes called crumb cake? or is that something completely different?
I think you need to VLOG him trying to order – this is hilarious. Plus I want to hear how he says TWO
Lol!! The drive thru are the funniest! Poor guy.
As someone also from Northern Ireland I completely share Stephen’s frustration over people confusing our two’s for three’s haha
Those drive thru conversations are hilarious. I too would love to hear how he says two. Is Stephen looking forward to Thanksgiving?
This may be my favorite conversations post yet. Thanks for sharing!
He makes a good point about coffee cake.
I think you need to record Stephen ordering at a drive thru next time.
Oh I love these posts so much. Snort giggles happening at my desk right now.
hahaha! I’m DYING! this is so hilarious, but also probably so frustrating for S! hahahahha!
