Today's experience

[Mobuck]

I was out on a 300 mile work trip today and the last business stop turned out to be an older lady who couldn't get to the door but tapped on a window to get my attention as I was returning to my vehicle. I went back to the door and the lady came to let me in. I must have an honest face as she had no qualms about me coming in and we sat at the kitchen table while she tried calling her husband to answer my questions. As I was waiting for her to master her brand new flip phone, I began looking at the refrigerator magnets and stickers--that is until I came to one way up in the corner. It said: "You know you're old when those plump, playful sweater puppies have become fat, lazy lap dogs"
OMG OMG OMG, I nearly died trying not to explode into laughter. Fortunately, the lady didn't notice my gulping and choking until I regained control.

That's funny.
I would have had to let her know I liked her magnet.

I'm guessing she's in her mid-eighties and using a walker so this being a business contact, I think I was better off just being quiet. We did go off into a discussion of hip surgeries but only briefly.
Honestly, there are aspects of this job I'm really going to miss.
