I have a master’s degree.
However.
This is an actual conversation I had with a 16-year old employee at the drive-thru window of a local fast-food restaurant.
“You can order whenever you’re ready.”
“Hi. Yes, I’d like one twist ice cream cone, but do you have one that’s smaller than the large?”
“We have a small.”
“Oh, okay. I’d like a small please.”
“Is that it?”
“Yep. That’s all.”
“Okay, your total will be $1.92 please.”
“Um, does the small cone cost more than the large cone?”
“No, they’re the same price.”
“Well, the big banner out front says the large cone is $1.00.”
“Right. The large is $1.00 on special, and the small is $1.00.”
“But you said my total was $1.92.”
“No, I said ‘$1.00. Lane 2 please.'”
“Oooh. (nervous laugh) Sorry, I guess I misunderstood you.”
A few minutes later, the girl came wandering back to my place in line and took my dollar and gave me the ice cream cone.
As I drove away, I realized I never did go get in Lane 2.
I hope Grant appreciated that stupid ice cream cone.
And I really hope that I’m smart again when I get resurrected.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are the awesomest person I know.
I’m sorry (or not) to say that I’m having a good laugh at your expense. (PS I got your Christmas card today–very lovely family–which you addressed to Paul and Sara Evans. However, I was curious as to why it’s for just my middle teenager and me?)(I really shouldn’t laugh because I haven’t gotten my Christmas card even made yet)
That’s hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
Ah, but was this face to face or through those speaker things? Because the speakers are awful. I never understand anything said through them. “Lane 2” could certainly sound like “ninety-two.” If it was face to face, I’d chalk it up to losing your hearing rather than your brain. I’m certainly going deaf now that I have kids capable of banshee shrieks. Just sayin’.
Well I think I need to go get a Master’s then, because I have no idea what is going on in this scenario!!!
Man, you’re giving me serious education jealousy. I would like to be as awesome as you there.
I just now got a chance to stop and read this. What a good laugh I got! Thanks for sharing this and letting me know that I’m not the only one who has those absent minded moments. 🙂
