old people say the darndest things

Last night was my Birthday.

My 36th Birthday.

Thank you! Didn't I just hear you say Happy Birthday? Hmmm, must be imagining things.

Anyhey, So for some bizarre reason I had it in my head I wanted Lucille's- particluary this...

With a side of this...

In all - Food not so good, drink rocked, service sucked, drink rocked. But this little conversation made the entire evening...

Setting:
Bathroom at Lucille's

Characters:
Old Lady: Big Woman, REALLY old, leaning on a cane
Waitress: Teeny, tiny little blonde girl barely out of her teens, probably a buck-ten soaking wet.

Convo:
Old Lady to Waitress: "Wow, look at you. You're just a teeny, bitty thing, aren't you?"

Waitress: smiles politely

Old Lady: "Why I can see right over the top of your head. You're so little."

Waitress: "Yeah?" Still smiling.

Me: Washing my hands trying not to laugh

Old Lady: "You are so small- you could just fit in my pocket. How tall are you?"

Waitress: "I'm 5, 1" smile starting to slip just a little

Me: Biting the inside of my cheeks to not laugh.

Old Lady: "Why I can see right over the top of your head. You're so little."

Me: Starting to turn to walk to the door.

Old Lady: "Why you're almost a midget. A dwarf even."

Had to get out of there... held it in till I got out the door. I've heard the phrase 'gaping like a fish' just never seen it in action. The waitess gaped, actually gaped like a fish, unsure how to respond.

Those pesky old people....so silly.
