"What kind of people sit together in a restaurant and never talk to each other?"
"Married people"
--paraphrased from the movie "Two for the Road"
"What kind of people sit in a restaurant and talk about their ills and medicines?"
"Old ladies"
-- [or Old people, if you prefer]
This past Saturday afternoon, a friend and I had lunch together at a local pub. We hadn't seen each other since before Thanksgiving, so we had lots to catch up on. Of course, the first thing had to be an update on our health!!!
As we covered all the ills, doctor visits, and, of course, medicine, I said, "And the real kicker for me right now is my right knee."
I heard a hurrumph/chortle from the young man sitting in the booth behind me.
Caught in the very act--of being an old lady. This is even worse than the first time I heard my mother's words come out of my mouth. Egad!!
Happy New Year from the Old Lady.
