Krystal Burger
Wednesday, December 20, 2006
The other day, while running a few errands for work, I came across a Krystal Burger. I had no idea we had one of these in Texas, let alone in Big D, so I decided that I must stop in and grab a few tiny sandwiches for lunch. I ordered 6 Krystal burgers with cheese and sat down with the day's paper to catch up on the latest happenings. I get my food, start to munch on some delicious finger food, and I over-hear the following conversation from a couple and their two sons sitting at the table next to me:Mom: "Alright, well after we finish eating Bobby (about 7 years old), you are coming with me to the grocery store and then I will take you to soccer practice. And Sam, you are going with your Dad for the afternoon."
Immediately after this Bobby lets out an excited "Yes!"
Dad (taken aback): "What was that for? Why are you so excited about going with Mom?"
Bobby (with no hesitation): "You yell at me all the time and Mommy doesn't. I don't like going to soccer practice with you."
A few moments of awkward silence ensue and then all hell breaks loose as the Dad begins to weep out loud. The Mom is stunned at the unforeseen waterworks and is at a sudden loss for words. I look around to see if anyone else is watching this and notice that all eyes are on Captain Vulnerable. I quickly ponder my options at this point and, being the full manifestation of compassion and kindness that I am, I decide there is only one option. I got up, threw my trash away, walked towards their table, and got the hell out of there! Are you kidding me!?

I can tell living with the Box has provided some sensitivity training for you.
