Strange Request...

Yesterday, after finishing flu shots at the drug store, I went to do a home visit and give this little old lady her flu shot. So when I arrived, she and her chihuahua (why is it all the old ladies I go to have chihuahuas? Why can't there be like a poodle or something mixed in?) Anyway, they were out in the yard, via her jazzy, waitin' for me. I give her a shot and as I am politely saying goodbye and turning to leave she says... "If I give you $20 dollars,"

At this point I am not sure where we were going with this; Cody though she wanted to pay me to stay and chat with her but I assure you that was not her desire.

"If I give you$20 dollars will you go and get me a Mt. Dew?"

I had to giggle to myself, and I agreed to her request thinking it would just be a quick trip to the gas station. But this lady was in stock up mode; when I left, money in hand I was to bring back four 12-packs of Mt. Dew and a 12-pack of Coke.

The best part was, when I walked back in with my load, you could see how thrilled she was. She must have been out for a few days now because she was pretty happy to see those cans. She looked at the pile of caffeine and said,

"Oh, which to drink first!"
