Five minutes or more

I’ve been to Mexico on many vacations. When I took my wife to a resort there for the first time, she asked the housekeeper for two more towels to take to the pool. The woman said, “Yes.” “When?” my wife asked. The answer was, “Five minutes or more.” What does that mean? My wife wondered. Soon? An hour later? Longer?

Over the course of our stay, we asked for extras several times, and each time we would get the same patient answer, “Five minutes or more.” We joked about it, and after a while we knew that whenever we asked for something, it would be some time until we saw it. Eventually that attitude helped us take our time, too—after all, we were on holiday!

The housekeeper really helped us understand the culture of being in Mexico on vacation. She taught us to relax. And that’s what we were there for. We just forgot.
