The family came to the restaurant to have lunch. The waitress took the adults' orders and then turned to their seven-year-old son.

— What will you order?

The boy timidly looked at the adults and said:

- I'd like a hot dog.

Before the waitress had time to write down the order, the mother intervened:

- No hot dogs! Bring him a steak with mashed potatoes and carrots.

The waitress ignored her words.

— Will you have a hot dog with mustard or ketchup? - she asked the boy.

- With ketchup.

“I’ll be there in a minute,” the waitress said and went to the kitchen.

There was deafening silence at the table. Finally the boy looked at those present and said:

- You know what? She thinks I'm real!
