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.
