Counting lessons, part deux:
Me: Hi, how many tonight?
Stupid woman: Six.
Me: Do you need any children's menus?
Stupid woman: *blank stare* Wh-what did you say?! (she's a touch indignant...like I pried into her private life or something)
Me: Are there going to be any children in your party of six?
Stupid woman: Yes! So we need one children's menu.
Me: (muttering) That's what I was trying to ask you. *starts to retrieve the children's menu when...*
Stupid woman: (loudly, obviously to me) So we need five adult menus. And one children's menu, which makes six.
Me: *rolls eyes* (mutters under my breath) Gee, I never would have deduced that, thanks Count.
I don't think this woman realized that by telling me that 5+1=6, she was adding up not only six, but a lot of painful moments for herself.
Good grief.
