Minding your "P"s

Tonight we went to Maggiano's in Oak Brook to celebrate Baird's birthday. When we sat down, Drew was handed a child's menu, and he promptly went to work on the word search. There were 2 words that he just couldn't find: Spaghetti and Pasta. After several careful searches, he realized there was no "P" to be found anywhere in the word search.
Slightly annoyed that the puzzle was impossible to complete, Drew resorted to that time-honored tradition children throughout the years have used when they're bored at a restaurant: he took a field trip to the bathroom.
While in the bathroom, Drew struck up a conversation with a Maggiano's employee, and related his frustration over the word search. The guy told Drew to grab his menu and show it to him at his post (he was working the take out counter). It turns out Drew was given a photocopy of the child's menu, and there was a line of letters that didn't make it onto the menu. Not only did Drew get a new menu, he was given 6 lemon cookies for his trouble!
Drew will talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Tonight, it paid off in cookies.
