Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
Today, I made a group chat in
Facebook messenger for my mom and her best friend. We are planning for our
upcoming trip to celebrate our birthday.
I had received a quotation from our
travel agent and decided to make a group chat for the both of them. I figured
it would be easier on me so I don't need to send the same message individually.
It turned out my mom typed a message
that her best friend is not suppose to read. I only found out after I had read
her message. I tried signing on my mom's Facebook account. I was too late. Her
friend already read the message.
My mom called me up getting mad at
me. She said, it was my fault that she had typed the message in the wrong
place.
I told my mom how it can be my fault
when I didn't type it.
It didn't make it easier on me as I thought
it would have been. It became more complicated and had to meddle in between and
explain it to her friend that read a message.
Good thing her friend didn't take
the message against her. She knew my mom too well being friends for a very long
time.
I had informed my mom not to make
the issue bigger than what it was. I told my mom not to bother contacting her
friend to make more issue out of something she had already been clean up.
I learn my lesson no more group chat
for my mom.
You learn eventually the hard way
when you deal with my mom and someone who is aging and not understanding the
concept of group chatting.
