civil customers?

elizabeth and i were eating dinner in a quaint local eatery the other night. our dining experience was going normally, or as it normally would when elizabeth and i sit down to enjoy some yummy grub.

any way, our waitress, who had been taking good care of us, getting us our drinks and meals, came to our table and informed us that we were the most civil customers that she had ever had. sweetness.

she then elaborated, telling us how odd it was that we were sitting there actually paying attention to one another and carrying on a conversation. she stated, "i have walked by here three or four times, and each time y'all are in converstion." apparently, most couples simply stare silently at each other or text or talk on their phones to other people the whole time they are eating. how strange and sad. what kind of date is that? no wonder so many marriages fail these days. if you can't talk over dinner, especially while you are still dating, then when will you talk to one another?

anywho - congrats to elizabeth and me for winning the civil customers of the year award.

cheers,
