A friend of ours used to work at Blackeyed Pea, and we'd go in every week or
two to visit her. We'd sit at the bar. Then after a few MONTHS, a different
manager came in and got ALL irate that Holly was sitting at the bar. So we
moved.
But here's how Holly (who was seven or so) used to order:
(Loudly): "I want that stuff I choked on one time!"
Fried mozarella sticks. That's what she wanted.
A few weeks back I was out with Holly and Marty and when dessert time came,
the server asked me, and I turned and asked Holly if she wanted any dessert,
and she looked at me and then the server and said, "No, thanks, we're done."
I don't think she'd ever seen that before, the waitress.

I had never given much thought to ordering. Sometimes we each order for
ourselves. Sometimes once person orders for everyone, because we all talked
about what we want (I'll have 4 chocolate milkshakes, please)....I had never
noticed that anyone gave me funny looks when my kids ordered....I'll have to
pay more attention....
