Hooters, the donut shop

I've never been a huge fan of donuts...I'm definitely a brownie/sundae kind of gal. So when my good friend Juli introduced us to a new donut place I wasn't the least bit interested. She kept insisting that we go saying that she wished this place didn't exist. She told me all about their secret ingredient(potatoes) and how you can drive there on a Friday night and get the donuts right out of the oven...is it an oven or a fryer??? Not sure. Anyway, we eventually made our way to this "donut haven" as it is called. My kids could not wait and were salivating the whole way there. We ordered a dozen and took them home to find out how tasty they really were. Let me just say that when you pick one of these donuts up, it feels like you're holding a small hand weight. They are thick, moist, and literally melt in your mouth. I have honestly never eaten anything quite like them. So we were hooked at that point. The boys ask to go there 24/7 but we tell them that in order for mommy and daddy to not blow up like large cows, we must avoid the "donut haven"...and only go twice a month. But in our household, we have conversations about these donuts at least 3 times a day. If the boys aren't asking to go get them, they are at least thinking about them.
Thus a conversation with my 10 year old this past week while driving. We passed a Hooters restaurant. Everyone knows what Hooters is known for....WINGS, duh!! So Conner says, "Hey mommy, do they sell donuts at Hooters?" "Nope," I replied, laughing to myself. He continued, "Well, it just looks like a place that would sell donuts. I know it's a restaurant, but it's just a weird name for one, ya know?" Without hesitating I said, "Yep, it sure is a weird name." And that was the end of it. Eventually my child will know what Hooters really is, but for now his obsession likes purely and innocently with donuts. And that's the way I like it!!
