Upset I told Farida we should leave but Farida sat down anyway expecting the worst. You know how she can be and so I joined her. As if on cue a waiter comes by to ask for what we want to order. “Nothing, we are just resting our feet,” Farida responded tiredly.
The waiter’s countenance changed dramatically towards us. “Ma, you can’t sit here and not order anything.”
