This weekend my brother's girlfriend came to Texas for her birthday.
This was her first time in Texas which meant that we needed to show her a little bit of what Texas really is.
As far as I'm concerned,there is not much that says Texas or South better than FRIED CHICKEN.
So we took her to Babe's!
On the drive we interrogated her with questions that would help us to truly see her character such as:
1. If you could have any super power, what would it be?
2. If you were an assassin, what would your name and weapon be?
3. At five years old, what was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?
These questions were very carefully chosen in order to determine whether she and Ephraim were a good fit...
(Bill, me, Sallie, and Garrett - AKA, the interrogators)
but based on her answers we collectively decided that we liked her and that she would make a good addition to our tight knit group of friends that have been together for over 20 years. (That is, if she wants to be a part of this... which is still to be determined)

When we made it to Babe's, I think she knew we would embarrass her by having the waitresses sing to her... But I don't think she expected having to
dance like a chicken while wearing a chicken hat!!!
(Ephraim was very surprised to see Vallie as a chicken)
Once our bellies were more than stuffed, we had laughed excessively and danced the Hokey Pokey (cause that's what it's all about) we were ready to leave. Our great waitress made a few final comments about how cute it was that Eph had brought his girl all the way from Idaho and how great that they were going to get married (do you think she knows something we don't?) and then we headed out the door.
Bill and Garrett "figure skated" in the parking lot at Target while Al and Jen got some last minute necessities and then we spent the rest of the night playing Poo-head and leg wrestling at their house.
I just have to say, I have the best friends EVER.
So... Vallie!! (Or should I say, Night Hawk?!) Welcome to Texas and welcome to the FATS!!!
I hope you had as much fun as I did!
wow! Looks like a ton of fun! Love the chicken head... way to be a good sport Vallie!
