Kindness, Whipped Cream and Conversation

“My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation.”
~ Kirsty Gallacher

Although I am a morning person, I recently found myself at an all-night diner waiting for a post-prom crowd of teenagers to finish socializing.  I ordered a rare treat – chocolate chip pancakes – and then decided to go for the gusto:  I asked the server for whipped cream.  She gave me a big smile and returned with the can of whipped cream.  She told me to go for it.  After I smothered my pancakes in whipped cream, she gave me a high five.  As sleepy as I was, I enjoyed not only my late-night breakfast, but also the friendliness of the server, with whom we had a nice conversation about parenting, cell phones and socializing in the era of social media.
