TO END WITH A SMILE
Starving after hours of driving nonstop, my husband and I pulled over at a truck stop. While he gassed up the car, I went into the restaurant and placed our order to go. After writing it all down, the girl behind the register asked, “Will that be all for you?” “No,” I replied a bit defensively. “Some of it’s for my husband.”
