While enjoying a sodium-rich meal with Sleepless, Ice Cream Man and his mom, Ice Cream Man mentioned recent feedback from his doctor, “He wants me to lose 10 pounds.” “That’s all?” his mom asked while Sleepless and I pretended to be really into our sushi.
Later, when the bill came, Ice Cream Man pulled out his credit card and I handed him some cash. “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got it,” he said. “You really don’t need to,” I said. “I know I don’t need to and I could definitely use the money for therapy to deal with the ‘that’s all’ comment, but I’ve got it,” Ice Cream Man said.
Folks….they can be so ‘folksy,’ that’s all.
