Those Golden Years

A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonalds one cold
winter evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and
young couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked
admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking.
"Look, there is a Couple who has been through a lot together,
probably for 60 years or more!"

 The little old man walked up to the cash register, placed his
order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal.The couple took
a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the
tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one
drink.

 The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully
cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he
carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and
neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the
drink, and then his wife took a sip.
 As the old man began eating his French fires, a young man stood
up and walked to the old couples' table. He politely offered to buy
another meal The old man replied that they were just fine.They were
used to sharing everything.

 After a bit the little old lady still hadn't eaten a thing. She
just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally sipped some
of the drink. Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him
buy them another meal. This time, the lady explained politely that
no, they were used to sharing everything.

 After a time the young man noticed that the lady still wasn't
eating her half of the meal. A bit concerned he wondered if she was
all right. He again approached and asked apologetically "Ma'am
you're not eating. Are you OK? You said you share everything with
your husband.
 What are you waiting for?"
