Bapa's invisible friends

Last week, my dad and my brother told us a story about an Indian restaurant they went to in Quito, Ecuador where the servings were extremely cheap and extremely large. Perusing the menu, they thought the low prices must mean they were at one of those tapas-type restaurants with the small plates, and ordered accordingly, several per person. Instead, it turned out that it was just a cheap restaurant with generous servings. The serving plates didn't even fit on the table!

Simon, apparently, has been mulling this over for a week.

Tonight, he said, appropos of absolutely nothing:

"Remember that time when Bapa & Uncle David ordered too much food at the Indian restaurant and the waiter laughed at them? What they should have done is, when they got to the restaurant, they should have just told the waiter that they were a party of 6. That way, he would have seated them at a larger table where the dishes would fit."

They still would have to eat all the food, though...
