It's Not Easy Being Blind....

One night we needed to get out of the house, and we decided to just grab a hot cocoa and go for a drive.  After driving for about 30-40 minutes, we ended up at The Resort to get some appetizers.  Whiskey, who was looking the Whiskey Tango part, was embarrassed, as were Tassels and Fancy because we were not dressed to go to The Resort.  We were in pajamas and or sweats and none of us looked good at all.  The ever-clever Whiskey put her sunglasses on, even though it was 8 p.m. and winter.  It was then and there decided that Whiskey was going to be blind.  She grabbed a hold of Tassel's shoulder, and Tassels led the way into the restaurant.

  As we sat down, the waitress went to hand Whiskey a menu, and Fancy quickly grabbed the menu and said, "She really can't see that, so no need to give it to her."  The waitress quickly retrieved it and said, "Oh well I wasn't sure, but yeah, you're right."  She was seriously second-guessing herself. 

When the waitress brought the nipples their beverages, Whiskey's had a very special, bendy straw in it.  This was to help her to find her mouth better and make her able to drink.

Throughout our time at the restaurant, Tassels and Fancy were describing people to Whiskey, so that she would know who her "neighbors" were.  Tassels began by going into detail, quietly, about the the people sitting next to us in their booth.  She described their attire, their hair color, their ages, etc.  Fancy, ever the loud-mouth began describing an old dude who was sitting straight across from the nipples' table.  Her description included the word creeper, and Whiskey could hardly contain her laughter watching the old man's reaction to his description through the glasses.

Fancy, who was getting tired, giggly, and all around crazy as a result of her blind friend, took a sip of her water and suddenly burst into laughter.  She then began choking on her water and coughing really loudly and violently.  She turned to the side of the table and spit the water everywhere, as well as had it dripping out of her nose.  Oh the burn of that water.  Whiskey was witnessing the diners around them, and they were disgusted with Fancy's near-vomitting experience.  Especially a couple, who was clearly on a date and NOT amused. 

During their appetizer-munching the nipples ran into someone they knew.  Whiskey shouted out, "Tyler, Tyler where are you?  Where you at?"  Several heads turned as Tyler came over to their table.  Whiskey had to tell him on the down low that she was blind.

Finally, much to the delight of the other patrons, the nipples were finished at The Resort.  When leaving, Whiskey intentionally left her napkin tucked into her shirt as she was led out of the restaurant by Tassels.  Meanwhile, Whiskey watched the bus boy, panicking.  He wanted to say something about the napkin, but didn't quite know how to approach a disabled person.  Whiskey had to stifle laughter while witnessing his reaction.  Just then, Whiskey decided to remember her napkin, and she said while patting her chest, "Oh, oh, am I still wearing my napkin?"  That's when the bus boy ran to her aid and collected the napkin.

On the way out, while still pretending to be blind and under the guidance of Fancy, poor Whiskey had to run into some columns.  I guess Fancy isn't very good at steering a blind ship.  Whiskey, never breaking character nailed those pillars like a champ.
