The ABC Cafe
Awful Bestest Cafe anywhere.
Remember the
Awful Bestest Cafe anywhere.
Remember the
Whistlestop Cafe
from
Fried Green Tomatoes?
Didn't you just love
Kathy Bates in that movie?
She found herself
by listening to another
woman's life story..
and because she
started a conversation
with a little old lady
in a nursing home,
the woman's life
revolved around
the Whistlestop Cafe
and gave Kathy the couage
to HAVE a life.
and gave Kathy the couage
to HAVE a life.
I love the little things that
cause a conversation to start.
The talk usually goes in a
completely different direction
than I think it is going to go.
The other day I had an
Oldies-But-But-Goodies
radio station playing.
SweetCheeks said..
I know that song.
You do?
Yep..
I heared it in a restauhrhant.
You did?
Yep?
By now song Number 2
is playing.
Nana, I know THAT song, too.
You do?
Yep! I heared it in a restauhrahnt.
Okay- NOW I think
there is a story afoot.
What restaurant, SweetCheeks?
The ABC restauhrahnt.
Here's what it looks like
in case you are interested.
Really?
Seerioussly!
Hmmmm..
The ABC restauhrhant huh?
Yesss!
It's akctually
(one of her favorite words
of all time)
just the ABC restauhrahnt
because they only serve
things that start with
ABC.
Like what?
Hmmmm..long pause...
Akctually,
It is just the A restauhrahnt
cuz everything can just start
with A.
Like what?
Like
A apple pie
and
A Burgher
and
A CANTUHKEY FRIEHD Chickhen.
Where IS this restaurant,
SweetCheeks, maybe I'll
go there.
But, but, but, Nana....
Yohu CAHN'T go there.
Why not?
Welllll, Nana, you
cahn't go there
cuz yohu arhe on a
diet and you
can't eat any
A thinhgs
and the ABC restauhrahnt
ONLY SURVES A THINHGS!
I can't wait to
meet the man she
is going to marry someday.
I hope he is
VERY SMART.

She'd make a good diet coach, maybe I could borrow her for a bit? LOL
Hi Di,
if that kid doesn't become famous it would be a sin! She is soooo entertaining. you need to send in a video to Americas funniest video's.
xoxo
Too funny. Yes, poor man!
she's a hoot!
That kid's mind is always working:):) She's so darn funny. Good artwork. Yes, at times, I would love to just drive my car into things, like Kathy Bates did in that movie. LOL Smiles, xo, Susie
I'd love to hear that child say chicken,I can almost hear it now.
You must publish your sweet cheeks stories and give them to her on her wedding day! (There is no doubt in my mind that her husband will be smart.)

Hmmmm... doesn't sound like you'll be on that diet long if you can't eat any A things. Especially when "A Burger" starts with A. So does "A Banana" or "A Candy Bar" or anything else worth eating. That means you can't eat! And if you can't eat - the diet is not going to last long at all. When you don't eat, you either don't last or you get off of the silly diet completely! *LOL*
Love the movie and Kathy Bates. I think maybe Sweet Cheeks gets her smarts and her large vocabulary from her Nana, ya'll are as tight as two peas in a pod!
Diana, like so many movies I've seen, I can't remember any of the details. Little SweetCheeks looks adorable with that flower in her hair and her art work is so cute and her characters are smiling which means she's a happy little girl! You naughty girl, you've made me hungry for junk food. I have some low fat fries in the freezer. I'll have some for lunch with chicken and a salad. Thanks for the inspiration!
How sweet and "direct" is sweet cheeks. Love this post and her drawing is very special.
Oh my gosh. That child is something else. Well, with you being on a diet and all, you probably wouldn't want to eat there anyway. The stories she comes up with are so out there. Most kids don't have imaginations anymore.
Her husband? Smart? Maybe, but you know what they say- Love is blind...that's going to help her out a whole lot.
Have a great day and take it easy.
Thank you for the birthday wishes and your Grand is darling! I love how kids think!
Blogger changed my format...not me! I don't know if I can change it back as I'm not computer savvy at all...

Apple, bacon, cheese should all be at the ABC restaurant - sounds like a winner to me.
Apple dumplings, Artichoke dip, Asparagus, Acorn squash casserole...
I bet they have A lot on the menu you could eat. :-)
Loved that movie! I love the word actually, too. She has such a great imagination! ~ Maureen
I'll take ALL the avocados, please!
Precious post!
xoRebecca
too cute Diana! Hey girl, let's forget about the diet and us two hit the ABC Restuarant (couldn't remember how you spelled it)lol! I'll talk a slice of that apple pie.
Hugs,
Jann
Good for yet another laugh out loud moment. lol.
You and me both!! Aren't kids great! Joan
I am soooooo hungry right now and looking at this post doesn't help any! But I don't think I am allowed to eat at the ABC restaurant either....phooey.
I loved that movie and I love Bates. She is such a great actress. I love that scene where she pulled into the parking space bashing in the "smart*&%" teenagers car and yelled at them, "I am older and have more insurance".
Her show "Harry's Law" is a great.
Conversations like this one are priceless. You are blessed to have her close to you so the two of you can spend time together. Such a cutie.
Isn't being the Nana the absolute best?
I have seen your comments on a few of the blogs I follow so I decided to pop over for a little visit. I am so glad I did...I REALLY enjoyed this. I loved that movie, Fried Green Tomatoes too. And the conversation with your grand daughter was just priceless! Isn't being a grandma just wonderful? Looking forward to visiting again....Blessings, Debbie
So sweet and funny!! That was such a great movie....you had me laughing and now have me very very hungry! (again)
Leave it to SweetCheeks to have all the answers!:-) However, asparagus is a very good choice if one is on a diet, as are apples - without the pie, of course.:-)
She is just the best...so smart, an old soul! And looking out for you! ;-D
XO,
Jane

Gotta go. Take care, Janet W
Love this!
I love this!!!
After reading this I know lots of memories of car conversations with my kids will pop into my head...thanks!
Are you kidding, Nana? This kid is going to get herself any man she wants, he'll just need to do what our men do and learn to tune the dial so he can say uh huh once in a while!
And, no eating 'A THINHGS' either, Nana!
I love this wee one!
Hugs,
Diana
