To fully appreciate this story, you must know that Spencer thrives at times making his friends feel slightly uncomfortable.
On Wednesday night Spencer and I headed out to Downtown Disney for dinner. The concierge told us it was just across the street. We could wait for the shuttle or just take the short walk. Thirty minutes later we arrived (me somewhat damp from the humidity) at the House of Blues for dinner.
One of the four hostesses waiting anxiously to seat guests: How many in your party?
Me: Two please
I started at this point to realize that it kinda felt a little awkward being alone with Spencer all day long. In a “missionary companion” sorta way. Major differences from the mission: no ties, no companion study, no testimony-sharing and separate rooms—separated by four floors. Apparently, spending so much time together seemed funny to Spencer for a different reason.
The server at the House of Blues really seemed to like Spencer. And Spencer wasn’t even that charming. In fact, he was rather subdued. Until the check came.
Waiter: Would you like one check or two?
Me: Just one please.
Spencer: (grinning from ear to ear) We’re to-geth-er.
Thirty seconds later…
Spencer: Well, I didn’t want him to think he could flirt with you. I wanted to spare you from a potentially awkward situation.
Thank you Spencer. That wasn’t awkward at all.

Sean you're great!!
Slow down though...I'm way behind!!
that's classic. i love making people feel uncomfortable. it's just the way I roll... you are a fun man to tease!
Don't be too worried Sean. I know for a fact that "gay day" or weekend, which it has now become, at Disney World is the first week in June. So maybe the waiter didn't automaticaly think you were that kind of "together".
