They're parking cars in the old bean patch...

Got a story for ya.

I stopped after work at the market to get a few things. I'm walking out to my car, and I'm gonna put the items in the passenger side. But as I get close, this cars pulls up, wanting to pull through to park beside me (there were no cars behind either of us, and we both just pulled through to the other spot, so we were facing out).

We both stopped, but I waved her on. She pulled in. As she did, I walked on around and opened my passenger's side door, put my items in, shut the door and started on my way to the driver's side.

She stops her car and gets out. She's at least 70, with that blue tinted hair old laides have. But, she was wearing blue tights, like ladies wear to work out. she had a tan coat all buttoned up, cause it was cold, but the blue tights were like pastel and hard to miss. And she's wearing these big huge sunglasses.

Well I open my door to get in, and as she slams hers, she said, "Good afternoon." I stopped getting in and said "Good afternoon" to her. Just being polite.

Well then she comes to my car and puts her elbows on the roof, puts her head on her palms and said, "My husband always told me that if I can ever just pull on through, well, I should just pull on through." I nodded, smiled and said, "Yeah, I like to pull through that way too."

Then she straightened up, got off my car and said, "But he died 13 years ago, so I don't have to listen to him anymore." And just turned and walked around the front of my car towards the store.

I can't wait to reach an age wheren I can spout nonsense like it's something wise and important, and not be committed to a loonie bin.
