Last night, I was out for drinks and snax with mom, dad, and tootsy mcfarts a lot (website withheld to protect the little stinker) and my mom told a story from my childhood.
When I was a youngin’ (maybe 9ish, or 10) my mom volunteered for our church during the summer.
This involved going to local nursing homes, doing readings from the bible, and giving bread/wine (I grew up Roman Catholic, mmmhmm that’s right) and generally socializing with old folks.
Apparently at one nursing home, there were three old ladies that were the best of friends and really enjoyed having my brother and I there.
One day, after mass, really excited, I pulled my mom aside and said,
“Mom - they’re just like The Golden Girls!”
Thank you for being a friend.
