Cafe Confusion

Last Wednesday was a fairly normal one at first. An early start (8:30), then Lena and I had breakfast and once Mum got back caught a taxi to the area where the Saigon Language School is located. On the way, as per usual, we stopped at Gloria Jeans so Mum could have her weekly nice coffee. All was well, mum had ordered the coffee-toasted sandwich combo for breakfast and we were waiting upstairs in comfy chairs reading. The waitress brought up the coffee... then two plates of sandwiches. Hmmm.

When Mum had ordered, the lady at the counter had asked for extra money. At first Mum had thought it was so she could get the proper change, but now it seemed she had accidentally ordered two lots. Thinking she now had too many, she gave me and Lena the second one. We plowed in and Mum was just double-checking the receipt, when the waitress came back and explained that it had in fact been a mistake. We were left with two half-eaten sandwiches, and Mum still hadn't had her breakfast! She took one of the half eaten ones and Lena and I shared the other. Ah well, we're Middlemisses, we'll manage!
