Oh my oh my oh my!!! I chuckled so much reading the opening paragraphs...those tippity taps of the teeth and the interplay between customer and waitress had me lolling. And you drew me in because I could picture the scene and I was thinking... that poor waitress... how exasperating to have a customer like that! hahaha... And then you brought it...from humour you switched to divine complexity and life choices. Of course she chose happiness in the end. Nothing in life is guaranteed and all the other options were choices that one could only hope would lead to happiness...but if we can set happiness as our foundation, and build from there... well then...

An inspired story @stormcharmer. The customer here chose very well indeed. I loved it.
