Weekend

Regarding the continuing tale of Larry, the man I met in the house to house ministry, Carol and I returned to see him Saturday morning. We spent an hour with him. A Bible study has been started. It will take some effort on the part of this man because he works at both a full time and part time job. When Saturday morning finally rolls around he's tired, but he has chosen then as his best time to study.

Later in the day we stopped by a mall for a few things and had supper in the food court. I left Carol sitting at a table to preserve us a seat and went to order two Teriyaki chicken dinners. I told the girl at the counter which meal I wanted, then said, "And I'd like two of those please." This struck her as funny and loud laughing followed.

This is not what I ordered but

it does resemble the person

who served me.

Then she asked, "But of course you just want one drink, right?"

I said, "No, I want two drinks. I am ordering for two people you know. I'm not planning to eat the two meals myself!"

With this realization the loud laughter started up again. It was enough to give new meaning to a "Happy Meal." 

I took a tray in each hand, looked around to see if the path to Carol was clear and without risk of bumps from others, and I walked away. Of course my balancing act produced another round of loud laughter from behind me.

I am pleased to report the two meals made it to the table without the slightest disturbance. I am not pleased to report it was kind of bland tasting. Teriyaki normally has a tang. On the other hand, if our Saturday food court meal did nothing else, it cheered up a server in a big way.
