Gene hadn't read through the menu to see what his sampler platter contained. He picked up the next item causing Eric to jump. Bruce nearly fainted as the object moved. "Is that an octopus?" he whispered, turning white. "Hell no! I'm outta here." Eric knocked the chair over trying to get away from the octopus that had dropped onto his lap.
Paul burst out laughing as both twins grabbed at it as Eric left . Pat was left wondering what just happened. Tommy bolted to the bathroom and Paul went after him. "Tom, baby?"
"I'm fine." came a weak voice. "An octopus?" "Of all the disgusting things and it's alive!" He threw up.
When Paul came back, he asked where the octopus was.
"I dropped it in the fish tank." mumbled Gene. "Scared the hell out of me."
Paul saw Eric and Bruce come back in but sit on the other side of the table.
Finally dinner was over. Eric asked Bruce to drive him home. He swore the octopus was still around.
Paul buckled the triplets in and reached over to buckle Tommy's. His husband was pale.
They sat there for a few minutes before Paul suggested ice cream. Tommy smiled a bit. "No octopus ice cream?"
"Nope. Gross."
They pulled in through the drive through.
