Just Made Me Smile

So I went to Cafe Rio on Saturday night with my pal Sherry. And it was a packed place for sure. Lots of people apparently can't resist that food ; ). Anyway, just after we finished eating and were taking our trays away, I saw a cute family who lives just down the sidewalk from me. I stopped to talk to them. The mom wasn't there but the dad brought all the kids with him. (I think the mom was getting her gospel doctrine lesson put together for Sunday without her 4 kids wanting her constant attention.) They are a fun family and their oldest- Isabella who is 7- is a crackup. Just a precocious child. She saw me and had to get out of her chair to hug me. Just a sweet little girl. So at church on Sunday, I saw Isabella with her mom and mentioned I had seen them last night. And Isabella's mom said,"Oh yes, Isabella told me she saw the pretty girl who was her primary teacher one time and played the witch in the play this last summer."
Okay, that made my day. I haven't been called "pretty" or a "girl" for quite a while now. (Not looking for sympathy or anything when I say that...just the truth.) Anyway it was just cute.

I had a kid call me "Sir" the other day. Getting old is just great...

I call guys Sir when they call me Ma'am. Not a fan of that title myself. Sir sounds more distinguished at least. Ma'am sounds like you are in an old folks home i think.

I've always thought you were a pretty girl. I guess I should have told you.
