A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

The other day my friend Emily and I went for a walk and decided to take a short cut through the Rivers casino. As we walked through the casino our walk was interrupted.

A security guard refused to let us through without proper identification. Emily believed that we were being stopped simply because we couldn’t prove our identities. However, when she asked the security guard he said that we couldn’t let us enter because we couldn’t prove that we were twenty-one.

We were both shocked. Emily is younger than I am. However, she hasn’t seen twenty-one in a long time either.

It’s funny, I spent so long waiting to reach twenty-one. I tried to look older, act older, and tried to appear more sophisticated. Who knew that one day, being mistaken for a younger age would make my day???

NOTE TO SELF: Wear that outfit every day…
