When I was around 8 or 9, my daddy took me out on a date. My mommy dressed me up in a pretty dressy and did my hair and off we went. I have no memory what the occasion was for, maybe it was that I did something good in school and maybe it was just because, I like to think it was a just because date, it sounds more special!
The restaurant he took me to was very FANCY, he pulled out the chair for me and I remember swinging my legs while looking at the menu, I wish I could remember what I ordered..but what I do remember is that daddy ordered me the fanciest drink ever..... the waiter brought me out a pretty, pink, bubbly drink with a black straw and a cherry and he told me it was called a "Shirley Temple" and they brought daddy out a a blue one called a "Roy Rogers". It was the neatest thing ever. I just remember feeling like the most specialist little girl in the world.
Years later when I was older, I asked my dad if he remembered our date...and I asked him what the fancy restaurant it was he took me to. You know what he said........ "Denny's" ! hehe
That was so funny to me, me this little girl in a pretty dressy with her long hair done in braids got to go out on a date with her daddy...didn't matter where we were, what restaurant he took me to... what matters is the how very special it was to me, and how important those memories are now. I got to go out on a date with my daddy, and he ordered me a fanciest of all drinks..it was pink with a cherry...the perfect drink for a daddy to order his little girl.
