Today’s special… Turtle Cake!

A small restaurant has been running in our back yard for a couple of years now. Everyone is welcome to stop by. They often have great specials of some really unique dishes. The pasta is particularly good, but a bit expensive. The turtle cake is divine. They are always willing to prepare dishes to your requirements, just make sure you let them know if you have any food allergies or other dietary needs.

"Why can't I get any decent help around here?!!"... Life can be difficult being the sole proprietor of a small restaurant.

Best… Wine list… Ever…

Mum went off to camp to visit LR for the evening. RJ and I had a big afternoon playing secret agents, jumping on the trampoline, mucking about at the beach and having getting dinner at a restaurant.
Towards the end of the meal, RJ grabbed the drinks menu, opened it and started reading.

RJ: Hmmm… Look at that…

… That’s interesting.

… Wow. I didn’t know that!

Dad: RJ. What are you reading???

RJ: This magazine. They left it here for us.

Dad: What is it about?

RJ: All sorts of things. There is a story about a party that they had.

Dad: What kind of party?

RJ: Just a birthday party. It’s not very interesting.

Dad: Is there an interesting story in there?

RJ: Yes. It’s about dragons.

Dad: Cool. What does it say?

RJ: Dragons have enormous teeth and a big tail. Some of them live in the ocean. They have very sharp teeth and they eat meat… but not people meat.

Dad: What kind of meat do they eat?

RJ: Oh you know, sheep, cows and horses and stuff.

Dad: Anything else about dragons in there?

RJ: They have a picture of a knight who had to kill a dragon. It was very dangerous, but he had a sword and shield with him.

Dad: Why did he have to kill the dragon?

RJ: The king told him to. It was eating all the sheep and making the people mad. (goes back to reading the menu)

Dad: … Anything else in there?

RJ: No. That’s the end.

RJ can tell you a thing or two about dragons.
