Lou Ordered the Yucky Crab Dish

we ate at a fancy restaurant tonight – me and daughter Lou. I knew my order before arriving, but Lou reads the menu. Freddy, our waiter, came back several times but she was not ready. I had not eaten since seven a.m. I was shaky, sleep-deprived, unsteady. Lou was torn between a crab dish that looked awful, soupy and such. and a shrimp plate that anyone would love to eat, and I do very much. Another waiter came by and recommended the soupy mess. In a loud way, I pretended to wretch, I have to reluctantly confess. Lou took one bite of the foul-tasting muck, and pushed the crab dish aside. Ending up sending it back, ordering the shrimp dish, with potatoes inside. At her house she fixed us cherry chunk yogurt with heavy chocolate cake. I loved every single bit of it, glad I did not order that crab soup mistake.
