If you click on the picture HERE of the little girl with Santa you'll see my granddaughter's big blue eyes. After Nicole's dance recital, Santa arrived on a fire truck and she ran out to greet him and his elf. The photographer for South County Times snapped her photo.
Today Grandpa asked his precious little girl where she wanted to go for lunch and she replied, "Burger King." He placed a coupon for two Junior Whopper meals on the counter and asked her what she wanted. In a fast food restaurant, crowded with lots of blue collar men on their lunch hour, she said, "I want little chicken balls, french fries and ketchup."
Bill and I looked at one another, and then we looked around. He said, "You want chicken nuggets?"
She said loudly, "No, I want chicken balls."
Then I saw the video menu screen change pictures automatically and laughed out loud. "Oh, she wants an order of popcorn chicken."
She sat at the table and sounded worse than Bob in that movie What About Bob? "Yumm, I love these little chicken balls. Uhm, thank you Paw-paw and Nana for these chicken balls. Ohh, um-um these chicken balls are so good."
I tried, "Honey it's popcorn chicken."
Cutie said, "Nana, it's not popcorn. These are little chicken balls."
All we could do was laugh and ignore the greasers.

FUNNY! And I loved your reference to What About Bob?? I LOVE that movie and I have imitated that food/table scene quite a few times! Just ask The Ronald! :)
What a cutie pie! I'll always think of popcorn chicken now as chicken balls. What a picture that makes. LOL
That was funny, Linda. Love your granddaughter's perseverance. Great photo, too! Susan
Ha! Smart girl! Nicole knows that "nuggets" are not anatomically correct. I imagine she wanted the real fowl meat, not shredded fibers pressed into a nugget shape.
This would make a wonderful story to submit. I don't know WHERE, but it IS hilarious.
Out of the mouths of babes! I keep a journal each year with the hilarious stuff the kids say and distribute copies at Christmas. The parents laugh the hardest (and some times deny the kids 'tales')
How can you not be infected with Christmas spirit when you see her face with Santa!
How funny! Kids really do say the darndest things.
Gosh, what a riot.
Such a funny story. I'm sure the other customers got a kick out of listening in!

I think she just turned Burger King into Burger Queen. Nothing like a kid who calls 'em like she sees 'em.
What a super photo of your little granddaughter, Linda. Look at the excitement in those big blue eyes!! Priceless! I did smile at the chicken balls!
This made me laugh out-loud! What a cutie, Linda!
"Chicken balls" reminded me of years gone by when my employer's grand-daughter (living in the United Kingdom) was teased for saying her fav food was
chicken fingers.
"Everyone knows chickens don't have fingers Heather!"
...to which she retorted:
"Well, on my grandpa's ranch in Texas they do!"
Hope you're enjoying a great week!
How cute! How dare you call them popcorn chicken.
Hey your granddaughter knows that there are chicken balls!
Haha x 18!!!
