We were at Michael's, a small restaurant near Concord's Nine-Acre Corner. The waitress took Marii's burger order first and then turned to May.

"I'll want the crab," she said.

The waitress looked puzzled, and began to scan the menu over May's shoulder. "I didn't know we had crab. Can you point it out, dear?"

My cue to jump in. "She wants a Club sandwich," I told the woman, "The Cheeseburger Club."

The waitress laughed with us, kindly. "Don't worry," she said, trying to console May, "It just takes time."
