Miriam has weird relationships with drive-thru speakers. I think she thinks the funny little people live in the funny little boxes and therefore...she has no need to "act normal" in front of them (being that they are funny little people that live in little boxes at the drive-thru).

Last night Miriam and I went to the McDonald's drive-thru to get some snacks. Miriam ordered: 1) Large Diet Coke, 2) Small Fries, 3) Ice Cream Cone, 4) Dasani water. When the drive-thru voice asked her, "Is that all for you?" Miriam was perplexed. She began to explain that, no, in fact, the food was not ALL for her - that there were two people that were going to be sharing the food... when Erin leaned over and said YES (before the words actually came out of Miriam's mouth). When we were paying the female order taker (the mysterious "voice" within the drive thru speaker) came by the pay window to take a peek at who the crazy woman was. :)

Then we laughed...and laughed...and laughed
