I went to Costco yesterday, and got a double dose of soul-flattering unction.
On the way in, the gatekeeper asked me if I was here for senior hour, like she didn't believe it. On the way out, the other gatekeeper said, "Did she talk to you about senior hours?" I may have looked confused (that never happens) because her anaphor had no antecedent. So she explained it to me.
Anyway, I told her my age, she apologized, I said I love it when that happens, and she said,'You don't look more than twenty". Which would have been a third dose of flattering unction, except the way she patted my arm said, "Run along now, dear, and enjoy your dotage somewhere else".
Brilliant story Jer, I can relate!
