my daughter is funny. she's also very perceptive.
she loves to create alternate worlds. i don't mean of the lord of the rings or harry potter variety, tho she dwells in those too, from time to time.
her worlds are usually ordinary ones. in them, she's a teenager or young adult. she likes being a teenager who drives the parents' car(s). she loves being a young adult who works and has lots of friends.
what i love most is the detail.
right now, she's a waitress working in a restaurant where the boss gives all the waitstaff raises every week. her friends have come in for a bite and she's trying to convince them to take jobs at the restaurant as well. she's fashioned an apron out of a piece of fabric and i just saw her tucking her pen back in it after she was done taking an order.
she's been back and forth to the kitchen several times to get orders as they've been called out to her. some of them have been orders for alcoholic beverages. it's so funny that she doesn't know the names of any real drinks so they have weird names.
one of her co-workers brings his camera to work and takes a lot of photos of everyone when he's on break. she told him he should just be a photographer and stop bringing his camera to work.
she thinks her boss is cool but hates the way he sometimes doesn't like the way she's wearing her hair and asks her to change it.
aha! there's another dimension. she's really a waitress who solves mysteries.
in this "episode", it was said that two of the main chefs quit, but she and her friends think the chefs really got fired. now they have to find out if it's true. there are a lot of cell phone calls going on right now.
this just in: her cell phone is also a tape recorder. she hid it in the kitchen and now she's listening to the actual conversation that took place between the boss and the two chefs. i'm getting a verbatim of their dialogue.
now she's back with her team of friends, telling them she needs more evidence because she's not sure that what they have "will quite please a judge".
now the boss has left and she's deployed her team to search the restaurant for more clues.
i have no idea why the real meaning of the chefs' departure from the restaurant is so important. i guess she'll get to that eventually.
or not.
any way, it's all very entertaining.
