Oatmeal & Brown Sugar - a story

Andy and I ordered breakfast at a café, and I ordered “a large bowl of oatmeal and brown sugar,” the sugar was for sprinkling on top of the cereal. The waitress questioned my order twice, looked confused, and went to the kitchen to discuss it with the cook.

 When my oatmeal was served the entire wait and kitchen staff stood around waiting to watch me eat.

 I felt like an idiot!

I was given a small mixing bowl of oatmeal and an equal amount of brown sugar! After sprinkling some sugar on the cereal I said, “That’s all the sugar I wanted, thank you.” Then the staff looked disappointed and left us to eat in peace.
