The Slice

Varying from “the usual”

Colbert's Judy Zweifel shared a story.

"My 97-year-old mother-in-law, who lives in Wisconsin, goes a step further when ordering the usual. She not only goes to the same place and orders the same food but also goes at the same time. Every Sunday after church she and her daughter go the Family Restaurant and she orders the usual.

"While visiting this summer we went to the restaurant on Saturday morning since we were leaving later that day. The waitress decided to have some fun with Grandma."

The waitress said, "You're messing with my brain by coming in on Saturday! I've got enough stress in my life without you adding to it."

But at least Grandma ordered her usual, a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream.
