Awkward.....

So... my brother and I were sitting in a restaurant together, you know, the kind where the outside walls are all window. My brother and I sat at one of the window side tables. Enjoying sweet tea. Enjoying our basil parmesan pizza. We sat at our table quietly, the sound of '80s music coming from the overhead speakers and our fingers "tip tit tating" away on our computer keys.

A lovely setting.

Suddenly, a figure at the window. People passing by the window on the sidewalk outside isn't unusual but this one wasn't passing by. I first noticed the figure out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head to look and saw a middle aged woman standing outside with her face pressed up against the window so she could see in better.

My brother turned to look and got a start. I laughed at him.

Suddenly we were sitting there trying to choke back laughter. We figured it wouldn't be polite to laugh at the woman while she was still standing there.

Finally, the woman left and we laughed out loud. The guy sitting at the table across from us laughed with us and said "Yeah, that was odd."

Strange people are out there says I.... ;)
