It was a Friday night, and we figured that our chances of getting seated quicker for dinner were better at the bar than to wait for a table in the restaurant.<br /><br />We were standing close to a table that was nearing the end of their meal, but we weren't hovering. While we were waiting a mother, her teenage daughter and daughter's friend entered the restaurant (after we had entered) and started talking to the folks at the table. They obviously knew them.<br /><br />Finally, the folks got up to leave, and we headed over and began to pull out the chairs.<br /><br />Mom says, "We're taking this table."<br /><br />I said, "I'm sorry but we were here before you and have been waiting longer."<br /><br />Mom says, "I know, but we're taking this table anyway."<br /><br />Now what kind of lesson do you think those two girls learned?KBeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749986838867446338noreply@blogger.com
