[147/365] My asparagus pizza was delicious, too

When the waiter brought our meals (we ate outside a restaurant! first time in like 15 months!), he put a plate down in front of [personal profile] diffrentcolours's mum and said "madam", then he said "sir" as he handed the next plate to her boyfriend... so I was really interested to see what he'd say about the third plate because it was mine.

There was maybe a little pause and then he said "asparagus pizza!" Ah yes, the three genders!

I mean we're always looking for a non-gendered alternative to ma'am/sir, may I humbly suggest "asparagus pizza." It certainly delighted me.
