Let me tell you a short story.
My mum is awesome. She’s got a great sense of humour, and is the kindest person I know. She’s been afflicted with a cold of late (you know, that one that Terry gave to your Auntie June, and she passed it to your window cleaner who gave it to you) and today’s symptom of choice is blocked ears – a mild annoyance, but this does lead to some interesting anecdotes, like this one:
We were on the way back from shopping, stopped off at McDonald’s, it was a good time. We went through the drive-thru, as you do, and I ordered a Big Mac meal. Without any reserve, she belted out my order to the cashier, presumably a combination of trying to talk over the engine and the aforementioned virus. The cashier, looking quite taken aback at the force at which this request was presented, returned my change and shushed us to the next window faster than I’ve ever seen it happen. By this point I was in fits of laughter and could barely hold the drink that was handed to me.
The point to this story is that as we came home, she was discussing the possibility that this was on video and would become a meme, “Friendly Lady Deafens McD’s Employee” or similar… and she hoped that “those scary people from 4-Tran would not come get her”.
