Life is good! We are retired! Our children are grown! We pay our taxes! We are upstanding citizens! We are somewhat healthy! We walk daily! We have enough money to indulge in some of the finer things of life - only a few! We have time! Does it seem fair that we now have to watch what we eat? Does it seem fair that we cannot stop to have an ice cream now and again? It not like we want to eat ice cream every day. Oh wait, the hubby wants exactly that - ice cream every night - in front of the computer - eating out of the carton.
Hubby has been put on a restrictive diet, not for his weight, but for acid reflux. Everything the man likes, he can no longer have. Chocolate ice cream is at the top of the list. He has been on this diet for 4 months now. Long enough that you'd think he would be used to doing without his precious ice cream, preferably chocolate.
We were out and about today, setting at the stop light, me minding my own business, when 0ut of the blue the hubby blurts out "Extra big old-fashioned banana split!" "Up yours, Braum's!!!!" I laughed out loud to hear such passion from him reading the Braum's marquee. I guess you have to have a certain sense of humor when all your favorite things have been banished from your life and he does have a sense of humor. Up yours, Braum's!
DAD! That reminds me of the time grandpa flipped that person off on 29th street. You yelled "DAD" I didn't know what it meant at the time but I found out really fast from my older friend Molly!
