I Love Chinese Food She Told Her Date

Sweet and sour pork or chicken?
Hard to figure out which one she liked best last time.
Which one had she ordered?
She wracked her brain, but it was not helping.

Crab ragu is delicious at this restaurant.
Not so great at the other one.
She was glad they stopped here.
You must have read my mind she told her date.

My parents own the other restaurant, he told her.
I was not about to take you there on a first date.
Oh, wow, they owned the one with the bad Chinese food.
She was not sure what to talk about now.
