Happy Thought: Milkshakes

So it's 10:00 PM and out of nowhere my little brother Brad says, "let's go get a milkshake!"  My siblings and I quickly run to the car.  Excitement and hyperness begin to build.  After blocking Brad from shot gun by launching my body into the car door, we all pile in.  Next step, music!  I crank up the volume knob, and roll down all the windows.  Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" comes on and we all scream the lyrics at the top of our lungs.  I'm sure the elderly gentlemen driving next to us with his window rolled down didn't appreciate it, but we didn't care.  When we reach the 50's style diner we hurry in and sit down at a bright red booth common in diners.  We gaze excitedly at the options of shakes.  There's too many choices!  50, to be exact.  We finally decide on the shakes that look irresistible and call the waitress over.  To our disappointment, 2/3 of the shakes we wanted are gone. ugh.  Of course this has to happen.  So instead we go with the very common Oreo and chocolate shakes.  Though I couldn't get my chocolate raspberry shake, the Oreo one was so delicious!  As I sat and drank my heavenly beverage, the smell of greasy burgers and fries drifted my way and I couldn't help but take a deep breath and soak in the deliciousness.  Every drink I took, took one more worry off my shoulder until I had completely forgotten the worries of the day.  Definitely worth the late night trip to 5 & Diner.
