We took Elegante Mother out to dinner last Monday night. The carpets in the house had been cleaned, and I wanted a little more time for them to dry, so we went to a local country-style place.
We had a great server, who asked why we had come in on a Monday evening. I hesitated and then said that we were starting a week-long celebration of my mother’s 90th birthday.
The server gathered all the other waiters. Mother was expecting an off-key rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Instead she got a rousing “Yeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!” She talked about it all week! 🙂
