It was about eight years ago, but seems like yesterday...the day we paid a five star tab at a frosty! The bill was huge, but the memories are priceless. Four young teenage boys and four Billy Burgers! This is how we got there....
It was Major Boys Little League and our son was finally getting into baseball. We made it past the dadelion picking days and became pretty serious. At that point he was a big boy, bigger than most in his class. We knew he was strong....so here was the carrot...hit a homerun this season out of the park and you can have a Billy Burger.
The Billy Burger was a big incentive, he had always wanted one...they were huge and expensive. So the bet was on. Once dad made that bet, I knew we would be buying a Billy Burger.
Well, not only did he hit one out of the park, he hit at least four...so in his logic, that should equal four Billy Burgers. One for him and one for his three best friends! So we loaded the four boys up in the van after a game and went to the frosty...We weren't thinking very well, we ordered the burgers ALONG WITH fries and drinks...eating the burger was going to be a challenge in itself!
If they could eat the whole burger, they got a hat... challenge on! We were there a long time and the looks on the boy's faces went from I'm starving to Ughhhh....I'm sick. They all finished though!
The funniest part was that the boy in the picture is usually very talkative, he didn't say a word all the way home...he just rubbed his belly.
Did we make any bets like that in the future? No...but this one was worth it...the day still comes up in conversation eight years later!
