A family of four is sitting at the next table. The adults might be the grandparents judging from their age. Sitting with them are two boys, about five and eight years old.
An rock song plays over the speakers. Again, I don’t know the name of the song, but I’ve heard it many times in the last couple of years. It’s anthemic. It might be featured in a television commercial, if I recall correctly.
The five-year-old apparently likes this song, because he knows all of the words. He begins to sing LOUDLY right there in the dining room.
Mom/grandma is aghast. “Stop it! People are eating. You’re being rude.”
The kid continues to sing. No amount of parental admonishment is going to stop this young rock and roller from belting out his favorite tune. Yeah!
The waiter must have assumed that I was annoyed. - I wasn’t. I thought that the kid was GREAT! He sang so passionately, and he was even in tune! - Anyway, they ended up giving me my coffee on the house. Double bonus! Rock and roll, baby!
