I have two stories....We used to go to a local restaurant on the eastern end of Long Island that was very reasonably priced, had great homestyle cooked meals and on Sunday afternoon was always crowded with senior citizens. They did not take reservations so almost always you had to wait on line for about 15 minutes or so in a long hallway and then when it was your turn to be seated you would walk through an archway into the dining area. We often took my mother in law to dinner there as she really enjoyed the German dishes. Well, when it was our turn, our son walked into the archway, looked into the dining area and seeing so many senior citizens eating dinner turned to us and said out loud, "Oma, look at all the Golden Girls in here!!!"..just about all the patrons laughed out loud...needless to say, one of our favorite shows was "The Golden Girls."
Another time I was standing on a supermarket line and my son was sitting in the cart. He must have been 2-3 years old. He started smiling and playing peek-a-boo with the person behind me....before I could turn to acknowledge the person behind me, he started waving and said, "Hi Oprah!!!" I said to myself, "Noooo" as I turned around and found the woman laughing out loud.
