AT A LOCAL DENNY'S RESTAURANT, SOME YOUNG KIDS BUMPED INTO OUR TABLE. THEIR DAD GRABBED THEM BOTH AND TOLD THEM STERNLY, "DON'T BOTHER THE OLD GENTLEMAN." I
LOOKED OVER AT MY HUSBAND WHO WAS NOT TOO
PLEASED ABOUT BEING DEEMED "OLD GENTLEMAN."
I JUST HAD TO LAUGH. THE DOOM AND GLOOM
EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE WAS HILLARIOUS!
HE MUTTERED "PAY THE TICKET."
I DID, AND WE LEFT.
A FEW NIGHTS LATER, BACK AT DENNY'S RESTAURANT, I HANDED THE VERY POLITE WAITRESS $20.00 TO PAY THE FOOD TICKET. SHE CAME BACK WITH THE CHANGE, THEN SAID, "OH!
I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU THE SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNT.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK." I BURST OUT LAUGHING AS I
LOOKED AT MY SPOUSE. I SAW THUNDER!
THE WAITRESS CAME BACK WITH THE CHANGE, I GAVE HER
A TIP. I ASKED HER WHAT WAS THE AGE BRACKET FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN? SHE LOOKED AT THE SPOUSE THEN AT
ME AND SAID, "OH, I'M SURE YOU BOTH QUALIFY." SHE PATTED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID, "HAVE A NICE EVENING, DEAR." AS THE LAUGHING SPOUSE GOT UP TO LEAVE, HE SAID, "LET'S GO, OLD WOMAN!"
