Last week I had taken my mom to McDonald's for lunch. It's easy for her to eat her filet-o-fish burger compared to other kinds of meals I've noticed. She has some dementia which compromises her skills as time goes by. A young woman sat at the table next to us and started talking to us. She was waiting for her car to be repaired. Apparently the lights weren't working so she had been using her high beams to drive. It had been about 4 days and still the car had not been fixed. I hoped it would be ready for her that day. She lived in a rural area without good bus service so was relying on relatives for rides.
We had had a day of summery weather and she told me some friends of hers decided they wanted to barbecue. They didn't own a barbecue and decided to buy one instead of the couch they needed! Hmm, after thinking about this for a bit, I thought a couch might be the better purchase!
Then she mentioned her dad takes the family for a $6 fish and chip dinner on Sundays and mentioned the restaurant. It sounds like a good deal. She was a very kind and friendly girl I thought, certainly not from a privileged background.
