While visiting my mom in Austin, again.
Me: Oooh, this is the place that has the really good honey butter!
Mom: Oh really?
Me: Yeah. I mean, it's been a few years since I've been here, but I think so.
Mom: I thought it was regular butter.
Me: Let's see...Outback has the really good bread, Roadhouse has the really good cinnamon butter... yeah, Saltgrass has the really good honey butter!
Mom [with a sly look]: You wanna bet?
Me: Seriously?
Mom: Yeah.
[Waitress brings tray of bread and butter out. Mom sees butter and confirms to herself that it's plain whipped butter.]
Mom: Okay! We're definitely betting!
Me: Okay. What's the bet.
Mom: What do you want?
Me: If I win, I get... a new pair of shoes!! Which means you have to go shopping with me! What do you want?
Mom: Really?? Are we really going to bet?
Me [as I slice a piece of bread and start spreading butter on it]: Uhhhh, yeah! C'mon, I haven't been here in years. They could've changed their butter. I don't know. But you better hurry and decide what you want because this bread is hot and I am hungry! Look, I don't even know if this IS honey butter, but I sure am slathering it on like it is! You'd better hurry up, woman! Once I take this bite, you'll know for sure by my face!
Mom: Okay, okay! Free accounting services!!
Me: For how long?!
Mom: Forever!!
Me: Deal!! [I take my bite.] Mmmmmmm!!
Mom: OH NO!!!!
