a story without a photo..
Dinner at one of our favorite spots, The British Pantry
It has never been this busy on a Saturday night
No hurry, waiting for our entrees
The table closest to us had a family of three children
A baby, a son about 5 and daughter about 7
Dad was playing a word game
He would describe something and then the family
tried to guess... animal? food?
It was played with "indoor voices"
And no cell phones to be seen
It was about a 25 minute wait and during that time a little gal about 3 years old came past, heading to the ladies room. And she came by again, by herself. One more time and returned with a roll of toilet paper. Her mother came by and returned it.
I found it hard not to "consider" the difference and had to pause by the table and tell the family, I had noticed their good manners. They smiled and said thank you.
And that was a highlight of the evening
Along with great shepherds pie
I live an exciting life
