A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to a meal at McDonald's. He
noticed that they had ordered one meal, and an extra cup. As he watched, the
gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries,
one for him, one for her, until each had half of them. The he poured half of
the soft drink into the extra cup and set that in front of his wife. The old
man then began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her
lap. The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal
for them so that they didn't have to split theirs. The old gentleman said, "Oh no. We've been married 50 years, and
everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50." The young man then asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied,
"Not yet, it's his turn with the teeth." |
