I Invented a New Word
So I had a single GAY man and his mother come in to the restaurant today. When I saw him walk in the door, I actually paused in mid-step. He was gorgeous. One of the female servers was near me and she made the remark that he was dreamy. I smiled at her and replied, "Don't bother, he plays for my team."
She asked, "How do you know?"
I smiled mysteriously at her and said, "Trust me."
As luck would have it, the man and his mother sat in my section and I ended up serving them. Throughout the dinner, the man and I would do some chit and some chat. Nothing really bad, just some harmless flirting, much to the amusement of the man's mother.
Once dinner was over, they ordered a dessert and declared that they would share it.
What I wanted to say was, "Aw, that's sweet."
But what actually came out of my mouth was, "Aw, that's qweet."
The man looked at me and flashed a smile, saying, "Did you just say that's qweet?"
I blushed and nodded my head.
His mother spoke up, "Qweet, that's sounds like a mix of queer and sweet. What exactly are you accusing my son of being, a sweet queer?"
Needless to say, I blushed even more and they had a good laugh at my expense.
I walked away and got the check ready. I placed it on the table after they paid and wished them a good night. I just happened to be standing at the door talking to my manager as they were leaving. My manager, as he inquires of every guest, asked, "How was everything this evening?"
The mother looked at me and with a big grin, said, "The dinner was wonderful. And the service was lovely."
My manager, completely unaware of the earlier conversation, looked at me and said, "Jason's one of our best servers."
The mother replied without missing a beat, "He deserves a raise, not only did he take care of us but he invented a new word for my son."
They walked out the door as my manager looked at me, a confused look on his face. I shook my head and just walked away.
So today, I invented a new word. What did you do?
