Thank You For Your Patience

---

This old gal…

Loved the movie When Harry Met Sally…always got a kick out of Sally…and her obnoxious restaurant ordering…suddenly seemed to be channeling…that Sally energy…ordering the wedge salad and all you can eat clam chowder…the conversation going something like this…

Sally Me…May I have the wedge salad and a bowl of clam chowder…could you bring a to go cup with the soup so I can eat half now and take the other half for later…it’s too much if I eat the salad…

Server…it’s all you can eat soup…I can just bring you a bowl now and some to go later…
Sally Me…thank you but I feel like that’s cheating the system and I don’t want to be that old person that tries to cheat the system…you know like the person who puts buffet food in their purse…may I have extra crackers tho…

And so it is…that thing called patience…this server…so kind…so patient…putting up with seemingly silly demands…that husband of mine…patiently watching…while his lovely wife…blathers on…at one point…Sally Me even felt it was obnoxious…but what came next…tipped the scale…

And this husband of mine…will agree…
