Learning to wait in line
My younger son was with me when I stopped to buy an iced coffee on Saturday — I needed a caffeine fix and drinking hot coffee when it's 97° F outside just didn't seem like a good idea. The line was especially long and my son got pretty restless. It's hard to wait in line. It's something that you learn to do. To queue up. To wait your turn. To avoid physical contact with those in front or behind you. To move the line along. I kept telling my son that he was "doing a good job being patient". Given their penchant for queues, the experience felt more English than American.
