Mrs. Grumpy: "We're fine. How about yourself?"
Waitress: "So-so. My daughter spent most of the afternoon in ER!" (starts crying).
Mrs. Grumpy: "Oh... I'm sorry. Is she okay?"
Waitress: "She shoved a Lego up her nose!"
Dr. Grumpy: "Usually they can get those out."
Waitress: "The doctor there tried for, like 2, hours, and couldn't. So on Monday we have to take her to a pediatric ENT."
Mrs. Grumpy: "I'm sure she'll be okay."
Waitress: "Our specials tonight are meatballs fornicato..."

Did you leave her a big tip?
Of course. She did a great job at getting our food. And the meatballs were awesome.
What is it with chatty waiters? Is it a generational thing?
'Cause in my day, they were too busy to chat.
Meatballs fornicato? Fornicating meatballs? Were they better than sex?
Couldn't get a lego out of the nose?!:? LAME! All you need is the Katz Extractor!
Funny. Had you told her you were medical people up front? If not, there really is a lot of TMI going on.
I try not to tell people so I don't have to listen to the whole story...at least until after they bring my food.
I never tell people I'm a doctor. If someone calls for one, I hide.
I think Mrs. Grumpy is awfully nice. I also am guessing this is the waitress's first child.
I certainly hope the meatballs fornicato came with pasta puttanesca.
;) you can hide but you can't get away
"Waitress", I assume? How could you spell it incorrectly twice? :P
Okay, teechur, I fiksed it. Hazerds of kut and payst.
I was thinking the same thing abou the meatballs.........love the comment about the puttanesca.....
I suffer from a chronic illness, daily ups and downs, and it took a while to not hesitate before answering "how are you?".
Never occurred to me to actually start in with it, though.
Ah, the ever-elusive art of the segue...
"I never tell people I'm a doctor. If someone calls for one, I hide."
I work for one of the big insurance companies and I'm always slightly nervous that someone will assault me because they had a bad claim experience when I'm wearing one of our company's polo shirts in public.
