A couple of weeks back I saw my boss hadn’t eaten all her lunch. She said it was because her mother had made it, and always tried to give her too much; just like when she was little.

I replied that my childhood habit was to clear the plate every time, just in case there wasn’t enough next time. She laughed because she thought I was making a joke, and then went really quiet.

Yeah.
