“Hello!” she perkily half-shouts in response to my gentle, “Hi there,” from the back of the booth, and immediately the people with her start busting on her: “Is that how you say hello?” they mock.
“He startled me!” she tries to explain, but they’ve already moved on to the next booth.
“I thought you did fine,” I say after they’ve left.
“Family’s always so judgmental,” she says sadly.
