I shared a nice meal tonight with the girls.
It was a very quiet meal.
Actually, I'm not sure I "shared" the meal with them at all. It was more like we sat at the same table, in the same restaurant, and all three of us ate.
Alex and Maryssa brought books with them to the restaurant. I should have known better, but I let them bring the books.
We ate our meal in silence, with short breaks of "Hey, this is good," and "Can you pass the ketchup?" in between. They were immersed in the books and I was happy to just sit there.
It felt rather odd, though, to be in the middle of a restaurant eating in silence while other families and groups of friends laughed and chatted around us. Only one lady noticed what was going on, and she came by to make this astute observation: "They could be doing worse things!"
