I love ordering Chinese food. If you order from a good Chinese restaurant, you’ll get someone who garbles something at you at blinding verbal speed, incomprehensible of course, and you know you’ve dialed the right number.
“Hi, I’d like to place an order for pickup.”
“PICKUP OR DELIVERY?”
“For pickup, please.”
“OKAY WHAT YOU WANT.”
“I’d like roast pork egg foo yong with egg drop soup.”
“ANYTHING ELSE.”
“Nope, that’s it, thanks.”
“FIVE MINUTE.”
“Okay, thanks.”
And theeen?

They forgot my magical fortune cookie. Again. At least I got two egg rolls this time. Their egg foo yong is amazing, but getting the dessert consistently is like spinning the Wheel of Fortune Cookie.

What is really funny is that Mom and I ordered egg foo yong and egg drop soup tonight. And that was before I had read your story.
Now do you believe that everyone turns into their parents? Scary isn’t it?
