I was ladling and he was garnishing, but he stopped the line on the first bowl and became extremely agitated. I did not understand the issue immediately and was a bit frustrated as the service window was short and people were lined up for the food. I was trying to reassure him that it was safe and of no concern. Big mistake on my part.
He refused to continue until a correction was made so I nudged the pot 3/4" and we were good to go.
Lesson learned for me. Don't argue-You cannot win  |
That's what I've come to understand about my son. If something is important to him, it is very important.
