“Ma’am,” asks the girl, who is probably 14 years old, “is there anything I can do to help you?”

That's great! Is this a true story? It doesn't say if it's creative writing or something that happened. It doesn't identify a specific time or place.

I don’t know. I assumed so. I expect that few Mennonites would step up on their own like this. But good for them that did.

Considering many hotels would probably fire an employee who did that, I suspect some details have been left out on purpose.

This week I stayed in a mighty crusty motel. The night clerk opened an adjoining room for me, and held steady a rickety round table so that I could climb onto it and remove the smoke detector. I removed it from the ceiling, and removed the 9v battery.
Also removed one in our room too.

The batteries were dying and the things were chirping loudly and annoyingly.

I could go on about that motel. If they’d have served an omelette, I imagine it too would have tasted like industrial plastic.

Wife: If your eldest daughter was helping make the omelette, I’m sure it would’ve tasted a whole lot better. She whips up some mighty fine cookies.

PS it looks like it’s a true story, and now another article of his has me curious about the throwed rolls restaurant. It doesn’t seem like he’s a Christian though (might be wrong), although the last name makes me wonder what kind of church he grew up in.
