Every year we take a family trip upstate NY. We enjoy going to this diner as it is so aesthetically pleasing, and the food is always a treat. I saw this woman and a girl walk into the diner, and by their mannerisms, I gathered it was a mother and her daughter. I could also tell the woman worked there, and the girl was going to pass time whilst her mom worked. As luck would have it, the girl sat exactly where I would've hoped for the perfect photo. Here is how "standby" came to be.
