Nutty

NUTTY We were in Paso Robles during the fourth of July week-end strolling in the streets, after our sumptuous lunch, where this vintage store caught our attention. My ten year old grandson picked a pack of bubble gum cigarettes and my grandchildren and I settled at the outside bench, just sitting and people watching. He peeled one of the sticks and started chewing. He offered me one and somehow I got this idea of showing him how to smoke a stick and asked my daughter to take a picture of him and me smoking. I texted the picture to relatives with a note “bad influence, smoking cigarette candies ha-ha-ha”. Did not stop there, I stood up and gave my daughter one and asked Ricky to take a picture of his Mom and me smoking like two street girls and I texted our picture to my friends with a note “SMOKING HOT CHICKS”. I got back texts of “silly grandma or bad grandma ha-ha” and some of my friends texted back with “cute” and one with “nutty girl ha-ha-ha” that made me laughed. What a silly idea of a sixty nine year old grandma to show his grandson how to smoke and a Mom to let her daughter smoke with her for fun and take pictures. My daughter and I do not smoke and I would never dare do what I did with real cigarettes, honestly. Somehow, I always come up with something fun, silly, nutty to enjoy moments of togetherness and remember them with such delight. I love being nutty, its fun. Was called “crazy woman”, “nutty girl” sounds better. 9/19/21 "N" Poems, New Or Old Poetry Constance La France #6 - Nutty
