Thinking Better on My Feet...
Late this morning (the time between morning and afternoon), I went to McDonalds prepared to order lunch, but low and behold, they were serving breakfast. I was in the drive-thru and had to think fast because there were cars lined up behind me. So what did I do? I nervously sputtered out, “4 Sausage McMuffins and 4 Hash Browns”…umm, yeah.
