I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

One of Adam’s favorite places in the world is an airport.  

When we fly, we always leave a little extra early, so that we can eat and drink before the flight.

Well, he eats.  

I drink.

This is a holdover from when I used to be nervous to fly. Many years later I don’t think about it much. Mostly because a friend once said, that if the plane crashes it will be the most exhilarating 90 seconds of your life. And she’s not wrong.

On Monday, we got to the airport early enough to have breakfast.  

We order.

We get our food.  

Three things happened at the same time.

Chef and his brother approached as they were on the same flight as us.

Adam asked me a question.

The server, who was female, asked if I wanted more coffee.

And I replied, trying to answer Adam, but answering the server instead, “That would be great, babe.”

She walked away, and I said, did I just call her BABE?

I was so embarrassed.  

When she returned, I apologized profusely.

She found the whole thing funny.

Luckily, it was time for our flight and we paid the check and left.
