It's Freezing In Here!

I went out to dinner with my Dad last night because my Mom isn't here this week (she went to Pennsylvania, again) and that means the kids get taken out to dinner since he doesn't want to cook (that's my theory anyway). Normally I wouldn't post something about it but…this is too good to pass up.

After we ordered, an older couple was seated at the table next to us. Well, more accurately they were seated a couple tables down by the waitress, but they decided they'd rather sit someplace else…so they did.

Then the woman took off her coat and proclaimed loudly "It's freezing in here!" When the waitress came to take her order, she asked if "the cold air was on" and if so, could they please turn on the heat. After arguing with them for a while ("Well, would you like to sit in a different room?" "No, we don't want to sit out there.") they finally settled down enough to order. The man ordered some kind of beer and the waitress asked the woman if she wanted some wine because that would help warm her up. She replied "No, no! I can't drink while I'm taking my medication"

The story from this point is second hand since I had gotten up to get some more bread from the salad bar area while this was happening, but according to my dad, after the woman got back from her salad bar trip, this freezing woman exclaimed "I feel like drinking something cold…" and then proceeded to take several large gulps from her husbands beer.

My theory on this is that her medication prohibits grape based products, because that's the only way this makes any sense.

Oh, and the other room they didn't want to move into? Much warmer than the room they were sitting in. People really confuse me…
