About As Sick Of This As The Parents Are

I am working at a popular sandwich chain at lunchtime. While working the line making sandwiches, I notice a family — a mom, dad, and a young boy — that just sat down a few minutes ago looking nervous and getting ready to leave already. I pause what I am doing to make sure they are okay.

Me: “Was everything okay for you guys today?”

Mom: “Oh, um, yes, everything was fine!”

They then rushed out of the store before I could try to say anything else. About ten minutes later, our rush was over, and I went out to clean the dining room. I found that their young son had thrown up under the table, and they had rushed out before anyone could notice.
