So we walk up to this place and sit down to eat.
I try to make meaningful conversation.
And meaningful it turned out to be!
Ruth: Are you alright sweetheart?
Me: I think so, pumpkin.
(yes.. pumpkin, the most romantic of all fruits!)
Ruth: Making others happy makes me happy.
Me: Fried chicken makes me happy.
(so thoughtful and profound..)
Ruth: I don't get sleep when I am either too sad or too happy.
Me: I don't get sleep when it's too hot or when there are mosquitoes.
(she quivers a bit, but sits through the dinner)
Moral of the story - My brain and mouth cannot work sensibly at the same time.
