Lunchtime Conversation At The Next Table...

Today, as I was enjoying my lunch at the restaurant next door to my office, I was privileged to overhear a cute conversation. The participants were a young boy (about 10 or 11) and his grandfather.

Boy: Okay, Grandpa, I'm finished eating. Can I go pay the bill now???
Grandpa: (fishes out the money) Wait at the counter until someone is free to help you.
Boy: (coming back with change) Hey, Grandpa, how long till we get to the next restaurant??
Grandpa: (looking very stunned) You just finished eating a big lunch! Why do you need to know where the next restaurant is?
Boy: (rolling his eyes) But Grandpa, you know how I am! I'm going to be hungry again pretty soon. Sooooo, how long till we get to the next restaurant???

At this point, I have my face buried in my hand trying not to laugh out loud OR snort!!!
