a Golden Arch Christmas page 2 by ric gustafson.
" I would like three $ 1.00 Mcdoubles and a medium orange" David said to the tired teenage girl. " Alice, what would you like?".
" The number one combo" she replied in an annoyed voice as she brought napkins and ketchup back to the table.
He sat down and handed her a Big Mac and some fries. He put his double cheeseburgers in front of him and then looked at his watch. He raised his orange drink and smiled at his wife. " It is now past 12 midnight" he said with a smile. " Merry Christmas Alice".
" How could you ever call tonight merry?".
" Sweetheart, things could be worse".
" Worse" she yelled in anger as she threw her wrapper into her bag. " May I remind you that our car has broken down in a blizzard, we do not know how to get to my parents house and our only cell phone is missing". With anger on her face, she pointed a finger at her husband. " How much worse can it get?".
David took a bite of one of his cheeseburgers. " Even with all the strikes against us tonight, I'm going to be optimistic about everything".
" You can't be serious" she replied in a gruff voice as she put her empty french fry container into the bag. " Tonight has been a disaster".
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
