True Experience

I'll call her Gloria--not her real name, but that's the only element of this story that isn't true. The whole family turned out to help a young relative move. By mid-afternoon when everyone was ravenous, Gloria was dispatched to buy lunch. Instead of driving through, she decided to go inside the deserted fast food restaurant.
The perky young man at the counter took Gloria's order: Twelve burgers, two salads, eight orders of fries, and fourteen drinks.
Smiling cordially, the fellow asked, "Is that for here or to go?"
Gloria looked around. No one else was in the restaurant. "Excuse me?" she asked.
The young man repeated his question, apparently oblivious to its absurdity.
"I guess I'll take them with me," Gloria answered. "I really don't have time to sit down and eat my TWELVE hamburgers right now."
If the food server realized the peculiar implications of his question, he never showed it. He sweetly took Gloria's money, brought out her food order, and thanked her for her business. And unknowingly gave her and her family something more than food to enjoy.
