The family came to the restaurant for lunch. The waitress took the order from the adults and then turned to their seven-year-old son.
— What will you order?
The boy looked timidly at the adults and said:
— I'd like a hot dog.
Before the waitress could write down the order, her mother intervened:
— No hot dogs! Bring him a steak with mashed potatoes and carrots.
The waitress ignored her.
— Will you have a hot dog with mustard or ketchup? — She asked the boy.
— With ketchup.
"I'll be there in a minute," the waitress said and went into the kitchen.
There was a deafening silence at the table. Finally, the boy looked at those present and said:
— You know what? She thinks I'm real!
