Reading Glasses and Loud Music

We celebrated my Husband's birthday this week. Several weeks ago, I secured a babysitter...one who could drive...so I could have a drink during our night out. (This is a another post for another day). I booked at 7:30 reservations at a hip restaurant.

We are seated and start to peruse the menu. To my horror....I cannot even see the words on the menu in this dimly lit dining establishment. I hold the menu out a bit further....nothing....just squiggly lines on a paper. I fully extend my arm at this little table for two and my husband finally takes the menu from me (probably because it's in his lap at this point) and asks me what I'm trying to read.

Defeated, I have to pull out the reading glasses, that I've been forced to add to the contents of my pocketbook. They are funky and cool....but not when surrounded by a room full of 20 year olds with laser clear focus.

I was able to make a decision and order....but I did peer over the top of my 'readers' when ordering....okay I am old...old....old...

The only saving grace is my dear Hubby, about half way through the meal, said "It is really loud in here....I can't even hear myself think". Then I thought....at least we are getting old together. That makes it a lot better - doesn't it?

Anonymous Blog

Sometimes I wish I had an anonymous blog out there....a place where I could write exactly what I wanted....when I wanted to....without any judgement...

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Sneaking out of the House

I let my kids watch Grease the other day. I remembered it fondly and thought my nearly 10 year old and 6 year old would enjoy the musical. I managed to forget the overall theme of the movie...sex, drugs (alcohol) and rock and roll.

My son recapped a scene for me.
The Boy - "You know, Mom, in Grease they have sleepovers."
Me - "Yes they do".
The Boy - "In the sleepovers, they smoke, drink and pierce ears"
Me - "Really. I didn't remember that".
The Boy "yep"...smiling...thinking about something...I can just tell
Me - "If I ever find out you are at a sleepover and you smoke or drink, You will be sorry". "If I ever find you have left the house to go to a party without telling me, you will be severely punished"
The Boy "Oh, I would never sneak out of the house...unless I found out Elvis was going to be at the party"
