Party like you're 80.

Today I took 5 children under 10 to the grocery store. I managed like a professional cat herder.

Old man in checkout: See all this gingerale I have? I'm having a party.
Me: Huh? Oh, that's cool.
Man: Yep. It's my birthday.
Me: Oh hey, happy birthday.
Man: I'm 80 now
Me: Oh yeah? 80 huh?
Man: Yeah. My wife is 71. We're celebrating.
Me: You gonna drink all that gingerale?
Man: Not by myself.
Me: I should hope not. That's a lot of gingerale for one person.
Man: Yes, my wife will have some.
Me: She's a lucky lady, then. Should be a hell of a party.
Ben: Excuse me, is this penny yours?
Man: Not anymore.


I can't wait until I'm 80.
