Chicken Disappointment

Ashton: I got some bad news. KFC looked at my job application, and they said they don’t want me as a taste taster.

Ashton_thinks_about_KFC_app

Pierre: Why not? It sounded like the perfect job for you. Any time anyone in the house is eating, you come running to see if it’s chicken.

Ashton: They said something about me being a miner.

Pierre: Oh, that makes sense.

Ashton: It does NOT make sense! I don’t even have thumbs to hold a pickaxe. But the chicken man kept insisting.

Pierre: *sighs* Minor. He meant you’re too young.

Ashton: I’m not too young to taste chicken! I’ve been doing it since I was a kitten!

Pierre: Well, you didn’t want a job anyhow.

Ashton: But I wanted to taste chicken. Lots of chicken.

Pierre: Mmmmmff.

Ashton: So I was thinking… what if I opened a chicken restaurant of my own?

Pierre: Mmmmmmmmmff.

Ashton: Why do I think you aren’t taking me very seriously?

Ashton_Pierre_toes_wm

Ashton: If I open my own chicken restaurant, you and Newton could help me taste test. 

Pierre: Hey, I like the sound of this!

Ashton: See? So start thinking about names. We’ll brainstorm them soon!

 

What do you think Ashton should name her chicken restaurant?

    Ashton’s Chicken Kitchen! Sure, it’s not that imaginative, but it’s accurate and I think you should spend more time on chicken than on names.

    Ashton’s Nommy Chicken…well, the important part is the chicken. 🙂 Ashton, we know your chicken would be the best and we’d love to be customers.

    I think you are totally onto something, Ashton! Will you be hiring kitties to staff the restaurant? Truffles would like to apply, but she’s a “miner” too.

    We think we’d like you email us a menu over Ashton and we must say we don’t mind helping in the kitchen if you are very busy and we could take care of any leftovers.

    You’ll put KFC outta business. That’ll learn them. Of course that’s providing your “taste testers” don’t eat up all the profit and put YOU outta business. Personally I think KFC was biased against you because of the one eye thing. Maybe you can sue. Name? Chicken R Us?

    We think Allie, Ellie and Raz came up with the purrfect name. E-mail us when it’s open. We’ll make a special trip to Florida for some take-out unless you plan to deliver. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
