On New Years Eve, I went with my grandparents to dinner. Fairly nice Mexican restaurant. We got there a few minutes before they opened, and there was already a line, so it's to be expected that we'd have to wait for our food. We actually got our orders in pretty quickly, and of course had the nummy chips and salsa to much on in the meantime.
After a while, my G-pa starts saying things like "Let's eat!", "Where's our food?", etc. Now, it HAS been a while, but like i said, we were hardly the first in there, and it's not like we were starving. Yet he's sitting there acting like a CHILD. I couldn't believe I was telling HIM to behave himself. I actually suggested getting a paper place mat and some crayons to keep him occupied.
He wasn't even being quiet about it. It's a strange day when you have to tell your non-senile grandfather that whining will not get the food here any faster.
Later on, I asked for some lemon to go with my shrimp (I love fried shrimp!), and there was some sort of miscommunication. The waiter brought a big bowl of tartar sauce. Fortunately, I still had the lemon in my water, so my shrimp did not go lemonless. Still, how do you get "tarter sauce" from "lemon"?
