I was having dinner with Henrietta, when she indicated that she really didn't want a brownie for desert. I told her to tell the waitress but it was the waitress that hadn't understood her in the first place--handing her a brownie when she clearly said she wanted ice cream.
Henrietta is Old School in not wanting to create any waves. I assured her that at her age, she has 'pre-forgiveness'. "You can do anything you want, and you are pre-forgiven. Ask for some ice cream and don't worry. You are forgiven anything you do; forgiven anything that you might say. Go ahead. You've earned it."
She laughed, but stuck with the unwanted brownie.
