[Jake Speaking]

Why is Del Taco important?

Well, let's start from the beginning. It was a cool morning and I had been in school since 7:00am. It was near the end of my second class of the day at 10:15am. Stephanie called me and disturbed the entire class as it was in the middle of a lecture. I know what you're all saying, "why was my phone on?" Well who cares why, she has my schedule so she knew I was in class so I refuse to take responsibility. Ok, ok, ok... maybe a little. :) She wanted to go to lunch... NO, I didn't talk to her while in class! I waited until it was over and called her back. Stop interrupting my story with your incesent request for details to preserve continuity.

As I was saying, she wanted to go to lunch. Mind you it is 10:30am but what the heck, I will go just so I can have something to do. (You see, I needed something to do because my next class was not for another two hours).

She comes to pick me up and we proceed to the greatest fast food joint on earth, Del Taco. Unless it is those few times when they poison you (Jason, you know what I am talking about). Regardless, Steph stops me at the door and says shes wants to tell me something that I might want to hear in private. She says, "I'm pregnant, I took like four pregnancy tests from three manufacturers and they are all positive". We then kissed and hugged for like ten minutes. After that we left Del Taco, both admitting that we weren't ever really hungry.

That is how I was told I was going to be a dad.

I thought the Bennett Bean might be a metaphor for the tiny new life. Glad you were suttle in anouncing Steph so Jake didn't stand up in class and give a loud HOOT of JOY! CONGRATS. Mom

It is a metaphor... but not for Del Taco. It was for the shape/size a baby has when first conceived. Now that you mention the similarity though, I see the irony.

Pretty cool story! Except, did you REALLY have your cell phone on during a lecture? Isn't there a corporal punishment for that? I'm SO sure!!

Oh, and did you guys really hug & kiss for 10 minutes in Del Taco and then leave without ordering anything? FREAKS! Love, Sis
