I was taken for Sushi, and I was also given another new bedspread. I was taken to this hole in the wall sushi place is on Alpine Ave. It is no frills mom and pop operation. The restaurant seats only 10 little tables and you have no real room to stand.
So we sit at a table in the back to be away from anyone and place our order. In walks this woman with her lanky long hair in a banana clip (hello, 1988 called it wants you hair back) she also had on flip-flops. Now in Michigan its 30 out today and she has on stirrup pants and an oversized sweater and it actuated her potbelly. She has in tow this bratty kid with a mushroom haircut that made him look like a bubble of red hair. He also launches into the restaurant makes a bee line to the toothpick dispenser and starts cranking saying,” I have one. I have one, look I have two, look there more!” he looks to be 6 maybe 7.
In comes the dad in a greasy corduroy jacket and he has a NASCAR baseball cap. Last in was a kid that looked to be 14 and he has the painful slouch of I so do not want to be here. His jean jacket, he has taken a marker to and did the logo for korn.
So in all the places to sit they choose the table behind MINE. A room of empty tables they sit behind us. The husband flops into the chair, smacking the back of my chair with his pushing me forward. She says in a nasally voice, as the youngest if now ripping apart all the chop sticks in the basket at the corner of the sushi bar, “I have a coupon for a free meal”
The waitress says, “It’s buy one get one free mam”
“No it says free”
The waitress unfolds the coupon and says,” See it’s attached, this ½ says free the other says buy one meal.”
The older boy says in a bored voice, “Its all raw food mom I don’t want raw food”
The mom says,” No, its Chinese food rice and beef and soy”
The waitress says, “ Well the sushi is Japanese and we have vegetable and fish/squid or crab sushi and we have some Korean meals.”
The husband says, “ I like pepper steak you got that?”
“No, we have what’s on the menu.”
The youngest has no moved on to poking the bonsai tree with the chopsticks he has pulled apart and says, “I want McDonalds”
The woman holds up the free ½ of the coupon and says,” Well, we will just share the free meal.”
The waitress says in exasperated voice,” MAM, you have to buy one to get one free and the children would get nothing.”
The teen says, “Suits me McDonalds cooks their food.”
The little kid leaving the mess is back cranking the tooth pick dispenser watching them hit the floor.
The dad stands up,” F*ck this! I aint paying for some f*ggot ass raw stuff, aint enough to feed a cat. Lets go to McDonalds.”
They left and we started to applaud. And that’s my sushi adventure for today.
