The Devil Wears Prada and Cheap KMart Shirts
My daughter and I went to see "The Devil Wears Prada" and I have to say it was hilarious. Meryl Steep was at her finest and Anne Hathaway has come a long way since "The Princess Diaries". Afterwards we went to Villiage Inn and had some dinner. It was at this quaint little place that I met "The Devil Who Wears Cheap KMart Shirts".
When we first came in there were not that many people there and it was kind of nice. My daughter and I were playing around, joking, blowing our straw wrappers off our straws when "she" came in.
"She" was an older woman of about 60 and was wearing a lime green cotton/polyester blend shirt and white cotton capri's. Her gray straw like hair was carefully held back on both sides by a couple of bobby pins. She quickly ushered her brood into their chairs and directed where everyone should sit.
I ignored them and went back to talking to my daughter. She was being her silly self and doing her impressions of Meryl Streep when the Devil's daughter (I knew this was her offspring because she was wearing the same KMart outfit, only the shirt was in pink horizontal stripes) cleared her throat quite loudly and said "Do you have no class young lady? This is a resteraunt."
My daughter stopped talking and looked at me rather big eyed.
Now my daughter is a nice kid. She is a bit shy, pretty, and has a great sense of adventure and humor so when this woman said that to my daughter, I immediately turned around and gave her the evil eye and too my surprise, the Devil was looking at me just like Meryl Streep. The gray headed snotty look she gave me instantly drew a snitty reply from my mouth.
"They must have modeled Meryl Streep's role in the Devil Wears Prada after you."
The woman's back became rigid and she stuck her nose up at me and turned away. Good. At least she was no longer talking to me. The other one (the mini June Cleaver) huffed as well and buried her nose in her menu.
They went on to act as if they were dining at the Ritz and actually were wearing Prada.
Get a life people! It's Villiage Inn! Two booths over is a couple of teenagers blowing bubbles in their pop and one row over is a biker couple covered in tatoos! Maybe you need to move out to Johnston or something.
Then the waitress arrived, looking a little tired but in good spirits and we joked and laughed a bit as she took our order. She comes back a couple of minutes later and takes Devil woman's order.
The waitress, trying to acknowledge the children, respectfully asked the little girl, "And what would you like with your hamburger Ma'am."
Devil: "She is a Miss, not a Ma'am. And don't give her any fries."
Girl: "But I like fries."
Devil's Daughter: "Give her cottage cheese, lowfat and no salt."
Girl: "I want fries and..."
Devil: "That will be all thank you." And grabs the menus from the children and hands them to the waitress.
I'm thinking "what a bitch"!
The rest of the dinner went no better. It was a shame they stayed the same length of time as we did.
Oh yeah. The Devil definately wears cheap KMart shirts.
