I can learn a lot about you from how you treat your waiter,
whether you make it fun, what you ask, how much advice you seek, whether you care
about the specials, what drink you order for him, if you invite him to your wedding,
whether you introduce him as your waiter or your friend, how much you are willing
to sacrifice to sustain his lifestyle, if you would name your children after him or
make him their godparent, what bedroom you would give him if he needed a
place to stay, whether you’d accept him if he ran away with your wife, if you would
care for his sick pets while they gallivant together in Europe, whether you would put
his Christmas card with your ex-wife on the fridge or tear it up and burn it, how you
would tell your children that you may not be their real father, where you would live
after the divorce, if you’d be willing to die for him, how much time it would take
before you realize your appetizers never arrived.
