I have mentioned before how I love Café Tu Tu Tangos. I eat there quite often and it is a great place to take your friends. On this occasion I went with Becky and her friend Allison and Olivia.

 

I know it was in October, around my birthday. We told the server it was my birthday and he got very excited. I knew something fun was coming and I was just hoping it came with free dessert.

 

As we wrapped up the meal, we noticed a large group of servers gathering together and then they headed over to our table yelling and screaming. Our server said, “Attention everyone! It is Michael’s 21st birthday today!” In reality, it had to be my 23rd or 24th. He asked me to stand up on a chair, which I jumped up quickly to take center stage during my birthday song.

 

As they sang, I danced on the chair. When they got to the end, they yelled HEY! And of course, with that, I threw my arms up into the air like I just didn’t care! What I forgot about is the restaurant is covered in pieces of art which happen to all be for sale.

 

Right above our table was tons of painted birdhouses which sold from 30 to 75 dollars each. My hands in the air knocked with great force a birdhouse, covered in cherries, tumbling into the face of my friend Becky! I was lucky enough that she dodged it and it didn’t cause damage to her or to the birdhouse.

 

I am grateful that Becky is still my friend for all these years later when I am almost killed her with a cherry covered birdhouse. Can imagine trying to have fun with friends, and your life is almost ended by a birdhouse?

 

Maybe I am being dramatic but as you see in the picture, I made sure to give the birdhouse a kiss to say I was sorry. Becky didn’t get anything. I mean, she lived didn’t she? If maybe she had lost an eye I would have sent her an E-Card. (I AM SO JOKING!) J

    I always share this story whenever I go there with anyone. Last I was there, the bird houses have been moved to a safer location. Maybe one day we’ll be lucky enough to own one of the paintings with manatees doing human things.

    Let’s go soon b/c it’s almost someone’s birthday month! (This year’s birthday requires a month long celebration).

    Becky,

    Yes we will have to go there soon! Can not celebrate a birthday without going to Cafe Tu Tu Tangos!

    I also hope one day we can afford to get the wonderful painting of the woman in the bath with her poodle. It would go so well with my house. :)
