One of my favorite customers came into Juice & Java a few weeks back. It was a cold dark morning and she was running late for work. A high school teacher and single mom, I could see she was a little frazzled. Her hair was wild and her eyes searching frenetically for coffee. As I served up her steel cut oats I asked her how she was and she indicated she'd been having a stressed out morning. She said expletives had been flying out of her mouth earlier. One of her kids said, "Mommy, don't swear." and she replied, "I can't help it, I'm divorced!" Without even thinking I said, "Oh, you have Divorce Induced Tourette's. I think it's fairly common."
Can anyone relate?
