A Rant

I normally don't feel the need to rant on  my blog, but this one is too good to pass up.

How many of you get a "hankering" every now and then for a nice cold glass of lemonade?  Just the term "nice cold glass of lemonade" evokes pleasant thoughts of sitting on our porch in Fountain City as a little girl drinking one of those ice cold glasses of lemonade.  My Mother made it with fresh squeezed lemons which left pulp in the lemonade.

John boy got one of those hankerings the other day after we went to the grocery store.  Someone had given him a $10 gift certificate for Chick-fil-A.  The line was not only around the building and out into the road, but a double line and kids working the curb instead of a person calling at the window.  John boy asked if I minded and I said no, that it seemed to be moving pretty fast.  We didn't have to wait long, and while we were waiting I said, "how much is a gallon of lemonade?"  John boy said, "maybe $3."  I said, "well, why don't you just get 3 gallons since we probably won't be back for awhile.  He agreed.

Finally our curb girl came to our window.  "How much for a gallon of lemonade?", John boy asked.

"ELEVEN DOLLARS!", she answered!

We drove away lemonadeless.  John boy said he wasn't even going to spend a gift certificate on an $11 jug of lemonade.

Some things you just can't make up!
