A Funny Thing Happened...

I had dinner with my parents, Amma, and my sister last Saturday at Kai, Greenbelt. A very funny thing happened. I never laughed so hard in my life. My Amma nearly burned down the restaurant. You know how restaurants have these tiny candles in their tables right? My Amma's menu got caught in one of those. We even didn't know it was burning already if it weren't for my sister. She just heard "cackling" noises daw and saw the menu on fire. "Amma! Amma! Menu mo!! Nasusunog!" My Amma just sat and stared at the burning menu. Since I was sitting next to my grandma, I immediately got the drinks list menu (the main menu is really heavy!) and "pinagpag" (for the lack of word) ko talaga like there was no tomorrow. I thought the table cover was going to burn too.



Almost half of the menu was gone. I could see the waiters secretly grinning. Comedy kasi sobra. You're at a nice fancy restaurant, trying to be poise and all, tapos biglang "nawa-poise". Hehe We were told that several customers had a similar experience. Moral lesson of the story: Don't be fooled by those cute candles. While it may add ambiance, it's a safety hazard! Hehe



But I have to admit though it was a serious accident, I had a really really good laugh. :)
