Thread Name: Armistice Day
Subject: RE: Armistice Day
When my twins were small I took them to one of these without knowing that there would be a huge line of vets, but the kids really wanted to stay and, in their words, watch the parade wait, so we did. When we got to the cashier they asked, Vet or non-vet? I said, truthfully, non-vet. So they repeated the question a little more loudly, and I repeated my answer more loudly, so they repeated the question REALLY LOUDLY so I acquiesced and said Vet. But I felt bad. Was I wrong to acquiesce? I was perfectly willing to pay for all our meals.

Oddly enough, this day is being difficult for me to a degree way beyond the norm...
