Sooooo, I'm in B-e-a-l-s, which is pronounced Beels or Bells, I don't know which. In any event, I'm buying a dress shirt and a tie, and this cute young girl is ringing me up. She says to me in that cutsie voice we all take with the elderly (and I kid you not):
"Are we qualified for the over 50 senior discount, dear?"
DEAR???? DEAR???? Did she say "dear" to me, like I'm her 80 year old grandfather? I asked her, "Do I look 50 or older?" And she said, "yes". Oh my friggin word!!! I've just had it confirmed that I LOOK middle aged. Holy shit, Batman!!!
I'm a "dear".
I've become my Aunt Margaret from my youth. I'm the guy who used to listen to Red Sox games every afternoon on the radio. His name? Pops Pierce. I'm "Pops" in a different time!
By the way, Beals is offering 15% off this week for seniors on all items. Hurry...before they change the pronunciation!!!
