Hannah's POV

We all showed up at a restaurant that put a few tables together. We sat at one end with our dads at the other.

Lenny: Keith. Sit down. Sit down.

Donna: Dad, I wanna sit next to you.

Eric: Daddy's gonna be down here with his friends first and then...

Mr. Lamonsoff was interrupted by my dad.

Marcus: Lenny, remember we used to come here late night after we got wasted?

Donna: What's "wasted"?

Lenny: Nice one, Higgie. "Wasted." kids...is something that happens...when you have a hankering for ice cream.

Matthew, Adam, Alice, max, and I all smacked our faces or shook our heads. That was not a good answer.

Andre: I wanna get wasted.

Charlotte: I wanna get wasted.

Adam started laughing into Alice's shoulder.

Donna: I wanna get wasted every day.

Matthew starts to laugh but i pull his face into my shoulder.

Becky: I wanna get chocolate wasted.

Roxanne: No, you don't need to get wasted, it's okay.

Matthew: Yeah, because getting wasted leads to a very painful brain freeze that almost doesn't go away.

Max/Adam: Yep

The parents then look at us with looks that say that we're in trouble.

Hannah: Right Dad?

Adam: That's what the TV shows us.

Matthew and Max just nod along to what Adam said. I'm not sure how smooth that was.

Eric: All right, you know what, let me make this easy. twenty two burgers and twenty two fries, okay? And that'll be just for me. What are you guys having?

Lenny: Lamonsoff.

We all laugh at that. Except Matthew who groans.

Matthew: Dad.

Eric: That's for everybody. Just put it on that.

Lenny:  Oh, you don't have to do that.

Matthew: Actually, I'm on a strict Diet for work. So, can I just have the house salad with vinaigrette on the side.

We were all shocked. Matthew used to just eat. He is really taking this role seriously.

Alice: Did your metabolism stop working?

Adam: Are you dying?

Matthew: What? No, I am just really trying to bulk up.

Hannah (Dreamily): I say it's working.

Everyone looks at me as I look down.

Mama R: I am not gonna have any hamburgers. I'll take some meat loaf, some calzones...but put the marinara sauce on the side. With corn, either on the cob or whatever you got.

Marcus: Are you going to the electric chair?

Mama R: What?

Lenny: No, he was just kidding, Henry VIII.

Kurt: She's eating for two: her and Toe-bo Cop.

Lenny: But, Mama, they do have bunion rings if you want some.
