I don’t understand that. The wife has to chew, doesn’t she?

WTF's the matter with you? Haven't you realized by now that there are certain events in our lives that don't need to be "understood"? How about just accepting the fact that there is still some kindness left in this world.........?

What the hell is happening to this site............

Sorry, but I have no intention of giving up thinking any time soon. If disability forces me to, though, perhaps an IHOP employee will step in and do my thinking for me. (Can’t count on a family member.)

That IHOP employee may be a good guy, but feeding someone a whole meal goes beyond just doing a favor. As either the husband or wife, I’d be embarrassed by that kind of conspicuous do-gooding. Feeding her is something the husband should be doing, and I don’t see why he couldn’t do so without his food getting cold.

If what I described previously slowed them down enough that food on both their plates became cold, then the good deed that the IHOP employee could do is — halfway through the meal -— take their plates of food back, and put them under a heat lamp for a few minutes. Then they’d be able to finish eating warm food.

(Sorry, there I am being too analytical again. Actually I’m more sentimental than the average person, and enjoy sentimental movies and “feel-good” stories. I like things to make sense, though, and can’t enjoy the sentiment if the situation is one that would make me feel embarrassed.)
