She recommended that I get something with whipped chocolate and some other strangeness in it.<br /><br />Earlier in life I would probably have sucked it in and ordered her recommendation and pretended to enjoy it. But I have now found myself to be a stickler for getting exactly what I want, and that was: "Coffee. Black virgin coffee with nuthin' else in it."<br /><br />My daughter was mortified and probably embarrassed. And I enjoyed my black virgin coffee.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-52935685926531193062015-07-09T19:05:42.357-04:002015-07-09T19:05:42.357-04:00Much better to appear down to earth and friendly. ...Much better to appear down to earth and friendly.

And he presses cash on the person for getting a different table no matter how they get embarrassed/upset/disgusted. This is someone trying to act sophisticated who doesn't realize he just being boorish.

Perhaps my somwhat youthful appearance is due to my "elderlier" attitude towards appearance which began as soon as I left the supervision of my mother at about 18.
