Mom Approves

I took me Mom out a little before Noon yesterday. Once we were in my new old van and pulling away from the curb she said, "Now, I'm with you. We can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."

With an invitation like that, I decided to be mischievous. "Cool. I figure we can find a bar, drink beer, and watch football all afternoon."

Silence.

Silence. 

Just a bit more silence.

Finally Mom responded, "Okay, maybe I don't want to do whatever you want to do."

"All right," I replied, smiling. "How about we go to Ollie's Discount Store and do some shopping, and then find a McDonald's and have cheeseburgers for lunch?"

With a bright smile of her own and a nod of approval Mom said, "That sounds just fine."

So that is what we did.
