Sign of the Times

Today was dreary and cold. As much as the meteorologists claimed it would be 50 degrees and sunny- it was not. It was real winter bleak, a white grey day with a chill accompanying it.

In those conditions I found myself, with my constant, small, two year old companion, at the local coffee place/cafe.  I ordered a latte, and as the milk was loudly frothing, the barrista pulled out her phone and was half turned toward the counter.  The young gentleman in my company asked if he could have a muffin. This is the exact conversation that followed:

" Sure, you can have muffin, we have to ask the girl who works here, and then you can have it."

"She not working, she texting somebody."
