A LAUGHING MATTER


Darling now wants someone else to order for him in a restaurant, not every time but often.  Sometimes it is not easy to do.

Miss stayed with him one day and as usual they went out to lunch.  She says he wanted her to order and wanted to discuss what was available.  Then when the waitress is standing there ready to write down the order, he wants to talk some more about it.  So when you get through giving his order you are exhausted but also realize you have not figured out what you want.  (I have noticed this too.)  So it is easy to just order something simple or order the same thing he is getting which is not what you would have ordered if you had a chance to consider the menu.  This time Miss ordered ribs and French fries for herself.  When it was served she had four ribs and fries. 

Well he thought hers looked good and wanted a taste or her ribs. She said she cut off a bite or two for him.  Later he asked for a taste of ribs; he didn’t remember he had already had a taste.  She put a few more bites on his plate.  Then he mentioned her ribs looked really good – could she spare a rib?  So she cutoff a whole rib and put it on his plate.  She said she looked down at her plate and she hardly had any meat left; so she ate French fries. 

When they got in the car he said he was really overly full and asked if she wasn’t too?   She said no that she was still kind of hungry.  He really could not understand that.  They serve a lot of food there and she must really eat a lot if that was not enough food for her.  She just laughed and when she told me I laughed.
