I am not in the market for a wife. I already have one, thank you, and one is enough for a lifetime of challenge and growth.
But I got to thinking about how pleasant the ladies are that work in a good restaurant. They are often attractive. They are friendly and smile a lot. They laugh at my jokes without rolling their eyes, at least when I am looking. They give a window of worthiness to the day.
Would I look for a wife in a restaurant?
It wouldn’t hurt to look but it would only be a first step. I would want to know if they are paying attention to the world and if they are capable of thinking for themselves. I would want to know if they are reading and what they are reading. I would want to know how much time they spend watching TV. I would want to know why they are working as a waitress and what long range goals are ahead.
It could be that the person bringing your coffee is a rare jewel in a simple setting. Of course it could also be that she is a simple stone that has been polished a lot.
I am glad I am not in the market. Just the thought is depressing.
