Table Talk
As we got out of the car, our son announced, “Phones stay in the car.”
“Why do you always have to tell us that?” complained our fifteen-year-old grandson.
Our son’s wife winked at us and then explained, “We have a family 37 that no one may bring anything electronic to the table.”
We 38 our phones in the car. Even though the restaurant was filled with families, there was little noise. All I heard were a few quiet conversations and the ding of forks on plates. The 39 unnerved me. I looked around. Everyone, even the young kids, was 40 at some kind of screen.
The silence was broken 41 the six of us sat down, and started talking. The waitress stood patiently and waited for our orders. When our food came, we continued to chat.
An elderly couple at the next table were finishing their dinners and conversing quietly. I noticed that they shot us a few glances, and 42 if our constant chatter was annoying them.

For a moment, everyone at our table was at a loss for 46 . Then we all started talking at once. My son’s voice rose above the others. “Where are they? We want to thank them.”
“They left after you ordered dessert,” the waitress replied.
We spent the next fifteen minutes discussing this goodness and camp up with a 47 . The next time we see a family eating at a restaurant 48 looking at anything electronic, we’ll pay it forward, just like what happened to us.
