WonderBoy has a "usual".
He orders a Shirley Temple wherever we go.
Sometimes they have them, sometimes they don't, but he doesn't hesitate to at least try. He even gets me to make them at home on special occasions.
Oh, and is he ever a connoisseur of the great syrupy youth beverage that has stood the test of time.
Upon first sip he always gives us that seal of approval look when the bartender has created the perfect concoction.
My brother and I always favored the Shirley Temple and always ordered a round or two when we went out to eat; extra maraschino cherries please!
I remember my father trying to get my brother to call his a Roy Rogers instead of a Shirley Temple.
Even though it was the EXACT same thing, it just didn't taste the same when he called it a Roy Rogers...so it was back to Shirley Temple for him.
WonderBoy doesn't buy the whole Roy Rogers thing either. He doesn't even know who Trigger was so I'm not pushing it.
Well, yesterday WonderBoy introduced his sister to his "usual" and we immediately had another believer in the sheer, sugary tastin' power of that infamous "cotton candy in a glass" beverage.
All that sugar ensured they were both up for HOURS past their bedtimes! Oh well.
