My Cheap Mother Comes to Visit, Part I

My cheap mother came out to visit my husband and I a few years ago. Right after she got here, we wanted to go out to eat. My cheap mother of course wanted to go to Wendy's because she likes it there and it is cheap. We suggested the Texas Road House, and of course she had brought just enough cash with her to purchase gas and the requisite number of trips to Wendy's (all meals minus breakfast). In order to avoid going to Wendy's for dinner, we offered to pay for dinner. She accepted.

As a child, I was always instructed to order water the few times I was taken out to eat. She ordered soda that night.
