Insanity and Burritos

Insanity runs in my family.

Insanity:
A condition of being insane. A derangement of the mind.
Extreme Folly. Senselessness.


I was going though some pictures from 2008 and came across these.

JM's favorite restaurant is a place called Chapoltle (specialty Burritos) . He would go there every day if I took him. Even so, he probably manages to get there 3-4 times a week via friends and myself. (Remember he still isn't driving again due to his Minor Mishaps (note that is PLURAL!). They were Step Away From the Car, ... Step Away From The Car AGAIN... And
PLEASE, PLEASE Step Away From The Car!! ..(btw, if you have teenagers who are driving or will be soon, you may want to take a few moments and read these 3 posts--in order....you might just never let them drive again!!) That reminds me to let you know how THAT turned out...another time...HEY! Check me Out!! Staying on track....well ... sort of.

ANYWAY, back in October, Chapoltle had a special. On October 31, if you came in the restaurant dressed as a burrito wrapped in foil, you got a free one! Well, JM and his friends just HAD to get in on this. SO, the 5 of us, (JM, 2 friends, Alberquando*, and myself) piled into the car.

First stop, The Dollar Store for 5 rolls of Aluminum foil.
Then, off to the Chapoltle parking lot where one could almost have been blinded had the sun been shining in that direction. There was aluminum foil everywhere!

So, here are a few pictures of JM and his other burrito buddies. (JM is the one on the right in 2 pics and the one in the black shirt in the other.) Alberquando* wouldn't do it and I knew he would have crawled under the car and hid if I did, so we were going to opt out until we discovered (after the boys were in costume) that all you had to do was wrap a piece of foil around your finger like a ring and that counted.

5 Burritos that Normally Cost $6.75 each = $oo.oo
5 Rolls of Foil at The Dollar Tree = $5.00 + tax.
Watching these boys, among others, walk across the parking lot, into the restaurant, order and sit down and eat (as aluminum foil slowly came loose, ripped and unraveled) = PRICELESS!!

P.S. Good thing there wasn't a thunder storm with lightning!
P.S.S. * Alberquando is, from this day forward, going to go by EMT. (He can't go as ET as that is our sister).
P.S.S.S. To any newbies...Alberquando isn't really my 12 year old son's name. You can go to the link on his name to find out why the name Alberquando ended up being his blog name.
