“One, Please”
My sister set me up on a date. He picked me up, drove us to a movie theater, stepped up to the ticket window and said, “One, please.”
—Shannon
Aftermath: No second date. My sister said he was notoriously cheap, and I ended up avoiding him at my sister’s gatherings for a year until he stopped trying to talk to me.
I would have spoke up at that point and said, “No this one is on me.” Paid, gone to the movie, and never gone out again. Making the observance of his cheapness would be worth the ticket price.
Amen, brother.
