The little things
“Can I get a large coffee?” the older fellow behind me asked. “And make sure it’s got a lot of milk!” “How much milk?” the woman behind the counter asked. “Lots and lots of milk!” the fellow gushed, as if he’d just discovered milk and never wanted the thrill of the moment to end. “No […]
