The entire world has been waiting for a little girl to get her french fries for more than a week. On Feb. 26, Somer Williams, co-owner and operator of the Noble Smokin’ Joe’s BBQ in Noble, Oklahoma posted to the restaurant Facebook page about some funny calls they had received. “Some little toot really wants French fries. If you have a kid around the age of 4 or 5 and they have your phone…. Check on them. He’s called about three times asking for french fries.
I forgot to order my Coke this week!” The next day, Williams posted a play-by-play about playing phone tag with her new “French Fry Friend” throughout the day. She could hear more than one child and asked them to put a parent on the phone, but they got spooked and hung up. The calls continued back and forth for days, with the kids trying various tactics to extract french fries out of their new telephone pal. Williams eventually figured out that there were three children, all girls.
