I Thought We Only Came for Mouthwash!

Cody and I were at Dollar Tree this past week picking up some party supplies for my sister's birthday when I saw the sweetest event unfold before me (and caught a glimpse of our future)...

We were walking to the checkout when this little old lady turned the corner, her arms full of items, to meet her husband at the register, when he exclaimed (playfully):

"I thought we only came for mouthwash!?"

(this is the part where I saw our future... because that is going to be what I hear for the rest of my life!)

So they put all of the items (mouthwash included) on the counter and we were in line behind them. The cashier told them the total, $19.16, when the little old man exclaimed:

"That was when I was born! Can you believe it!? $19.16! That was when I was born!"

(at this point I am grinning ear-to-ear while calculating in my head... 95 years old!!)

He turns to his wife and says again:

"Can you believe it!? Our total was $19.16! That was when I was born! Can you believe it!?"

It was like that was the most exciting thing that could have happened to him that day! They were giggling, I was grinning, and all he kept saying was "Can you believe it!?"

I watched them as they walked out, then paused at the curb to hold on to each other to make the step down into the street. They kept holding hands as they walked to their car, Cody and I weren't far behind them.

I just kept watching them as they waddled down the parking lot, holding hands. He put the bag in the back and helped his wife into the car. The entire time I am just soaking up the sweetness of it all.

Then my hilarious, lovable husband finally chimed in with a comment that is so him...

While I was still watching them and taking it all in, he said:

"Ninety-five years old, Wow! (pause)... Should they still be driving? Let's get on the road before they do..."
