Dreamin'
When you are 98, there is more than the occasional nap on any given day. Warm and comfortable on this beautiful autumn afternoon, those blue eyes opened and looked over to see that I was there. And then,"I just had a tooth pulled!!"
"What...do you mean?"
"I must have been dreaming."
"Aren't you glad that you were dreaming?"
"Yes I am!!" "Me, too."
And just when I think I can guess exactly which pie 'the very predictable one' will choose from the school's fund raising [pie] brochure, she astounds me with,
"Banana Cream Pie".
To which my reply was...
"What???? Out of the 15 choices, I would not have guessed you would pick that. Good thing I didn't bet the ranch on that one! "

Hey, ya never know. Flo passed up chocolate cream, apple caramel nut, strawberry rhubarb, fruits of the forest, peach, and 10 others.
What did we order?
The banana cream pie...cause why ask someone's opinion if then you either talk them out of it... or override their choice.
It's just not right!

Gee... that's a hard one for me. I'd have gone for the chocolate cream. But you know what? If I put that question to my mother, it could have gone either way.

True, so true. Why bother to ask if you want a different answer?
