“What’ll it be ladies?” Joe asked.
“Dessert!” Sue smiled.
“Something sweet! But not too sweet.” Julie sighed.
“Come on Julie,” Debra chided, “go for it! We’re celebrating!”
“Oh yeah? Whatcha celebratin’?” Joe asked as he displayed his sweetest pies to three sets of wide eyes.
Sue declared proudly, “Well, we have lost a total of 100 pounds between us!”
“Wow! I’m guessing you want whipped cream on top?”
Julie giggled, “Yes sir!”
Joe winked, “Coming right up!”
From a table nearby a child whined, “Mama, why can’t I have just desserts?”
The diner’s patrons burst into laughter and applause.

I have never been one to make to the dessert portion of the meal. Usually I am too full from the whole entree itself to ever reach the sweet-treats. 😀

There are! I remember being chided by a nice older lady at a church potluck once. I had my platte piled high with bits of everything, dessert included, and couldn’t resist having a bit of that first…it was my favorite! She raised an eyebrow and said, “you’re eating your dessert first? ” and I smiled at her and said, “as a matter of fact I am! That’s the best part of being a grownup!’ Your comment brought that memory back….made me smile. 😊
