{The following conversation took place earlier tonight on my way home from seeing “Nancy Drew” at the $2.00 theatre with my grandma.}
Me: Well thanks, Grandma. I had a really good time!
Grandma: Oh, thank you for coming. That was fun. I haven’t seen a movie in a theatre since “Sound of Music” [I think she was serious about this, but I am not sure…]
Me: Really?
Grandma: Yes–would you like to go to Dairy Queen?
Me: (Thinking, “I need to lose weight for my wedding pictures. Of course I can’t go to Dairy Queen. Then again, when was the last time Grandma and I went through the drive-thru at Dairy Queen? Not since I was in 6th grade at Lincoln Elementary School–it was always a good day when Grandma had to pick us up from school, because she liked to stop at the Dairy Queen. That was before I knew what calories were… I’m getting married in 40 days. How many more chances will I have to do this with Grandma? Pretty soon, I will only be a visitor at her house, instead of a regular occurrence. Of course we should go to Dairy Queen.”) Sure, Grandma!
But of course.
Ahh, the golden olden days…
I’m only ashamed it took me so long to decide on driving through that old familiar drive-thru…I think my priorities have gotten a little skewed lately. Glad we got them straightened.
