No more fish burgers at Dairy Queen, Grandma!
I got to the townhouse just before 12, and Grandma thought I was hungry. Well, I know her metabolism demands to be fed RIGHT NOW! We eventually went to the Dairy Queen across the street, where she was not impressed that they don't sell her favorite fish burgers anymore. I got her a regular hamburger and hot water instead after she said that she didn't want cheese on hers, and got a Chocolate Explosion mini-Blizzard with my Grillburger Combo. She thought I didn't have enough food since she was eating some of my fries - it was FINE! I amused myself by telling her that the popcorn shrimp picture was really durian sticks, and the ice cream cakes in the freezer had durian in them, hahaha! She commented on various people inside the Dairy Queen, such as a cute little kid with an ice cream cone! He bit the bottom of the cone after a few minutes, hahaha. His dad told me that the kid had no patience: oh, quite possibly not! She also told me that she rode a motorcycle once when she was a young student - wow! Also, she kept offering me cherries / bananas / nectarines / apricots... no, I'm really not hungry!
At the townhouse, I figured that taking my laptop along was a good idea in theory, but not in practice! After finally finding a plug, it turns out I have to know the network security key in order to connect - that does make sense, haha. So then I perforce used Mom's desktop: I bit the bullet and downloaded / installed Semagic on there, since I gotta update and edit SOMEHOW! Then I almost had a heart attack when the Internet failed to connect for ten minutes or so: this IS the kind of thing which Mom would blame me for! Thank goodness it was just an errant plug on the Blitz modem - phew! Steph thanked me via FB post for Grandma-sitting while everyone is out at Mike and Emily's wedding / Mike and Juliana's wedding, and hopes I get some stories out of it. Hey, Grandma offered to take me out to dinner for being "good," so I'll think of where to go. that has food I don't get too often! I also helped her with the green yarn when it got tangled, and admired the gold-colored scissors.
Grandma, on the junior members of the family: "I remember when Jonathan got married... his wife Harmony is good. It's also a good thing that women can be in Stephanie's line of work now. She likes it, and she doesn't have to take your mom's money anymore!" HAHAHAHA!
Grandma, on my Internet life: "Do you do this all the time without sleep? Have you met many computer friends? Do they come over, or do you just talk?"
Grandma, on Teunis: "Is the white guy I see all the time your boyfriend? Are you sure? You need to get married!"
Grandma, on the black rice noodles in a pot on the stove: "Are you sure that isn't yarn?!"
