The "Real" Roadhouse

Last Saturday the boys and Tatum went out for a night on the town with their Grandma and Papa (Yeah! Mom and Dad's night out!). After seeing some cool things at the Bass Pro Shop (Well Cooper thought the real stuffed animals were cool but Chandler just admired them nervously from a far.) Chandler asked to eat some "BBQ", a.k.a. steak which is his favorite. So they loaded up and headed to Logan's Roadhouse. When they arrived everyone began unloading except for Chandler. "This isn't the roadhouse I like." Grandma then tried to convince him that this is the roadhouse he likes and that they had good "BBQ". Chandler still firmly refused to unbuckle his seat belt. So finally in desperation or exhaustion or both Grandma tried what every self respecting grandparent and parent has tried.....thinking quick on her feet she lied. She told him that the sign said Texas Roadhouse (which is Chandler's "favorite roadhouse"). Little did Grandma know that Chandler has been learning to read at school and that he is pretty good at it too! Leaning just far enough over to read the sign on the building he said, "No it's not Grandma this is Logan's Roadhouse, the Texas Roadhouse doesn't start with the letter L." After attempting to swing by a very crowded Texas Roadhouse Chandler suggested just going to Howies. "You know Grandma, the place where you call in the pizza and then just pick it up." Needless to say the night ended with pizza from Hungry Howies the place where you call in the pizza and just pick it up. We learned a few things from this episode.......First, never lie to your children or grandchildren if they are old enough or smart enough to figure out the lie. We suggest going to school curriculum night so you can stay ahead of the game. Second, Texas Roadhouse is our favorite roadhouse (If someone that works there sees this posting please feel free to send free stuff!) And finally, we are not above changing roadhouses if Logan's would send us some free stuff! Ahhhhhh, the lessons we learn in kindergarten.
