Claire is into pretending these days. She loves getting into her dress-up trunk and being a doctor, or a chef (Emeril Legasse), or a princess. But her current favorite is pretending to be a waitress. She puts on an apron, grabs a pad of paper and a pencil and asks "What do you want?"
Almost anything is available, but occasionally she'll let you know they either don't have a particular item, or that you just can't have it. For instance, if you say you want a hamburger and a Coke, Waitress Claire will say "You can have tea." Then she'll write it down on her pad and tell you your total is $25.
Now, this is an interesting point because no matter what you order, it's $25. You want a full meal, complete with soup, salad, entree and dessert? $25. You want a glass of lemonade and a cookie? $25. You only want water? $25. It's best not to argue this point with Waitress Claire, because she tends to get a little testy when questioned.
If the astronaut thing doesn't work out, I think she'll make a great addition to the Carnegie Deli wait staff.
