It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Routine-Lovers!

First - Happy Anniversary to my mother and stepdad! Love you!

I have another story from our dining out experience the other day...You are all aware that some people have a routine, and any divergence throws them for a loop.

Some people get up at 8am and go to bed at 10pm, and anything outside of those boundaries is difficult for them to deal with. Routine even applies to food, Charlie wants biscuits with chicken and cornbread with fish. That's just the way life is.

The new, junior waiter interrupted a pattern this table of old ladies had followed for decades. They had a large table of women with an extra chair pulled up for the straggler of the bunch. There was enough gleaming, silver hair at the table to be visible from the space shuttle.

When the waiter arrived to greet them and distribute menus, silence fell. They looked at each other - struck dumb by the change. One remarked loudly 'YOU'RE NOT OUR REGULAR WAITRESS!'

The young waiter did not change tables, but he did go get their regular waitress to come by and say hello to them. That mollified the women.

The End.
