Boy in Dining Car by Norman Rockwell, 1946

The artist’s ten-year-old son, Peter, was the model for the boy in the painting. It describes a young boy’s first experience of calculating a waiter’s tip.

Peter said, ‘I wish I’d paid more attention when we did percentages.’

The waiter said, ‘Don’t worry, son, I can wait. It’s what I’m paid to do.’
