So, we planned the day out yesterday. Up early, off to Cracker Barrel for the free breakfast. 2 eggs any style, two pancakes. I had water. He had coffee. 5 bucks, breakfast for 2. They did not ācardā us.
On the way home, stop at Krispy CrĆØme for the free donut. This business is so cheap, but my husband wants his free donut
. We go inside, they CARD us, one plain glazed donut each. Ugh. I give mine to him, I donāt even like their donuts.
Where to go for lunch? So many choices, we usually go to Applebees. I love their hamburger. But Iāve been craving spaghetti. We go to Olive Garden. Soup, really large plate of spaghetti and meatballs for me and large chicken Alfredo for him. He gets a coke, again I have water.
The veteran next to us gets his order, asked the waiter to box it up. Says I got a cash card, I can leave you a tip. Waiter says whatever youād like to do. Veteran leaves, no tip. We finish, we pay for husbandās coke, we pay for the beer another veteran ordered at another table next to us, and we leave a nice tip to cover all 4 meals that our waiter delivered. Free food is fine, but you need to tip!
While we are eating lunch at Olive Garden, we get a text from our son. We have 3 great granddaughters, two are his granddaughters. His oldest, the fourteen year old formerly known as Rebecca, will now be called Marvin.
What? Marvin
. Absolutely no problem with the choice of sexual orientation, but Marvin? I text my granddaughter, she says I know. I tried to get him to pick another name, I hate Marvin. Actually we all hate the name Marvin. I tell my granddaughter I am pleased to have a great grandson, but I hate the name. Everyone in the family hates the name. Apparently this child does not have enough challenges in life for him to choose Marvin as a name.
So instead of 3 great granddaughters, I now have 2 great granddaughters and a great grandson.
I am now pretty dang full, cause I usually do not eat much. But free dinner awaits. In and out burger was close, brought the fries home for later.
As for the coming out, well, no one was surprised. This child was āboyā from age three. The only surprise was it took so long for the āformalā announcement. My son explain the pronouns I was supposed to use. I told him the reason Iād remember the name is because I hate it so much.
. Those pronouns are on their on.
