Okay so i took my mom out for a dinner at Texas Road House. We don't see each other often so when we do i usually take her out to dinner and that is her favorite restaurant. It was a nice dinner, and everything was fine. The bill when we go usually ends up being around 60-70 dollars. After we were done eating i drover her home and then drove back to my place, which is about a 30 minute drive away. When i got home i laid down on the couch to take a nap.
Then i woke up with a start with a horrible realization. I had completely forgot to pay when i took my mom to dinner. We accidentally dine-and-dashed, and since they were so busy they didnt notice.
Panicking, but still half asleep from my nap, i looked up the texas road house that i take my mom to and called them to explain that i had forgot to paid and see if i could pay over the phone, and if not i would be willing to drive down there to pay my bill.
But when i explained the situation they were just confused. They had no reports that anyone had dine and dashed that day. In fact when i described our order and the time that we were there they had no orders that matched that description. I was confused for a moment and then it hit me, and i felt like a complete dumbass when it did.
It was all a dream.
I hadn't taken my mom to dinner today at all. My dumb ass napped on the couch, had a dream that i took my mom to dinner and forgot to pay, and then when i woke up from my nap my tired brain was so fooled by the dream that i thought it was real and then i called a real texas road house to pay for a dinner that never happened.
I hung up on them and threw my phone across the room.
TL;DR: I had a dream i took my mom to a restaurant and forgot to pay. When i woke up i called the restaurant to explain i forgot to pay for a dinner that happened in my dream because i was still half asleep
