Have you noticed that old people can get away with saying anything they want? I mean, I'm not going to argue with them - they're old. And they know it and take advantage of it. That's what I would do, at least.
I was innocently minding my own business and playing hookie today so I could enjoy a picnic with my visiting friends Hanny and Zachary, when an old man interrupted my cookie time. We were at a deli/bakery that had free cookie samples out - and we're not talking sample crumbs, we're talking one half of a giant cookie - so, naturally, I am going to eat one, and just as I'm happily plucking the cookie out and old man gives me a look and says, "That's fattening, you know."
Well, it wouldn't be worth eating if it wasn't fattening now would it?
I smiled at him (one old man isn't going to come between me and my free cookie) and he said, "Ok, but if you eat that one you're going to want another one."
And then we both went on our merry ways. I wonder how many other people he warned about getting fat today? What makes it a good day? 10? Two dozen? Being old would have it's perks that way...
And just so you know, I was planning on sharing that cookie with Zach. But as it turns out, he is allergic to nuts, so I had to eat it all. And I have no idea what it was, but it was delicious.
