Day 9 - Weirdly Cute
Have you ever had a en experience where you came away thinking you just saw something you weren't supposed to see? A tiny glimpse into a world that is usually only the stuff of myths, a world that nobody is quite sure really exists. Like the faeries at the bottom of the garden. Or how you suspect your toys all become animated when you are not looking, just as in "Toy Story" and "Small Soldiers."
Well, standing at the nut bar in a large department store today, I had one of those moments. And I've got a witness too. But before you all go scouring your local shopping centres for Unicorns or Trolls, let me explain.
I was waiting in line with a friend to buy some cashews. Directly in front of us was an elderly couple. They looked to be the exact stereotype of lovely grandparents. Both were dressed immaculately in their tweed / cord / brown granny and gramps outfits and looked to be in their seventies. Grandma was of course looking after the transaction while Grandpa stood faithfully and quietly beside her. When she was finished, she did a mental check that she had everything. Actually it was said out loud, so I guess it was an audible mental check??
Anyway, last of all, she picked up her bag of nuts and said "Oh yes, and I've got my nuts." Without skipping a beat, as he walked past me, Grandpa said back to her "I've got MY nuts."
Now...he didn't have a bag with him...so he can only have been meaning those other kinds of nuts...pertaining to his..ahem...manhood.
My friend and I just gaped at each other for a second beofre bursting out into a fit of giggles. I watched them walk away together as if nothing was amiss. And for a second I got a mental image of them running around the house together half-clad with some sort of Benny Hill music blaring in the background.
I don't know...somehow I think I prefer to believe that Faerie's don't exist.
