A closer look
Judith collected the meal and brought it to the table. After setting the meal in front of the parents, she took the one for the kid in her hand. Judith knew she had to speak as she couldn’t ignore it.
Judith claimed to be perplexed by the absence of a meal. To give the youngster a chance to reach, she asked which child it was that she had ordered the supper. She wasn’t at all shocked when the parents answered.
The answer
The father immediately said, “The meal is for my son,” without hesitation. She said that she would be pleased to check with the kitchen if it had been mistakenly missed. Judith, who was still perplexed, questioned if they were missing a second dinner for the kids.
While the family froze at Judith’s question, the girl looked especially interested in Judith’s query and gave the waitress a strange stare that she couldn’t quite interpret. A bit anxiously, the girl’s father said that his daughter wasn’t hungry. Judith didn’t believe him.
