Did you want to split the check?
Zahra Weidmann
“We’re getting there early, so TSA can do the stupid swabs again.
It’s like ‘pre-check’ means nothing.”
“Do you have an account with us or would you want to set one up?
I love your names, Charisma and
Zahra, so
exotic.”
“We’ll have that Chai Tea Latte ready over there.
Have a good one!"
“OH
she’s your mom?”
“Yeah, it’s pronounced a bit like
Sarah, oh the ‘h’ in the middle is
sort of silent too
You should look up what it
means.”
“I don’t know how to say this…
but how come your names don’t match?
Like, ‘Wiedmann’ is German right?
And ‘Kumar,’ isn’t that like...
Indian
or something?”
“Did y’all want to sit inside or
out?
Everything going alright for you
two?
How were you ladies planning to
split the check tonight?”
