Today, in the cafeteria, when I saw that they were serving broccoli-cheddar soup, I was excited -- who doesn't just love that soup? I saw that the serving pot had run low -- there was still soup in there, but it was near-impossible to scoop out with the ladle provided. No worries, I thought, I'll just ask the really nice cafeteria guy if they can bring more from the back (he's always super-nice and always smiling!). He made a face, and said he was pretty sure they were all out of broccoli-cheddar and would have to replace it with something else, but he would go check.
Something else? Who wants something else? I want broccoli-cheddar!
Alas, when he came out from the back, he WAS carrying a pot of soup -- but also a sign reading "loaded baked potato." They truly were out of broccoli-cheddar.
I told him jokingly that I was going to have to show him my sad face.
He smiled back at me and said, "I don't want to see your sad face -- you just wait!"
He proceeded to lift the pot of broccoli-cheddar and pour it into a bowl for me -- it was exactly a bowl-s worth of soup at the bottom of the pot!
The ladle never would have been able to scoop it out, but the good-hearted cafeteria guy was able to make it happen.
We both parted with smiles on our faces, and now I have a belly full of warm broccoli-cheddar-y goodness. :)
