The clock of life goes at different speeds for each person. It also affects every person differently. People tend to be overly sensitive at certain times different from normal. Change of life comes to people in different ways and most of them do not even notice it.
I had to take one of my cars in for service this past Saturday. Whenever, I go to the car dealer for service to any of my vehicles, the diner next door is my place of choice for breakfast. I happen to have had my youngest son, with me because he likes the breakfast served at this particular establishment. We arrived for our 8:30 am service appointment to get one of the family vehicles serviced and inspected for the State. We dropped the vehicle off and headed for breakfast. We sit down and give our order to the waitress. The phone rings and it is the Mrs on the line telling me that she is coming with my other two sons Peter and Elias to have breakfast all together. I summon the waitress to the table and place the order for the rest of the family that will dine for breakfast.
A little while later our server brings my waffle with bacon and Angelos's, cheeseburger deluxe (french fries cole slaw and lettuce and tomato) arrive. A few minutes later come my wife and my other to sons(Peter and Elias). The busboy brings the orders out Elias gets ham, and American chefs omelet and Peter has a pastrami tomato and Swiss cheese omelet. Stella ordered a feta and tomato omelet. The whole order is correct except that my wife is served a feta, zucchini and onion omelet. The kitchen had the orders correct but the busboy picked up the wrong plate. Well! This ticked of my wife because she thought that we place a wrong ordered on purpose. She is allergic zucchini and eggplant, and gets very sick if she even smells the stuff.
She went off on a tangent towards the busboy. He speaks no English and is not at fault. My sons and I had to point out that she is out of place for running amok. This is where the old saying caveat-emptor (buyer beware) come into place. You the buyer are responsible for what you buy. If the servers make mistakes then you should make sure that you try to inform them a few times of your requirements. There is no reason to go bananas people are human will always make mistakes by nature. Life is too short just enjoy it.
