Well I haven't been in much of a blogging mood lately. It's been a bit strange seeing as I have been in a blogging mood ever since I started this one. But be that as it may, I decided to give you an update on the disturbance prior to the Aggie game.
My mother, grandmother, Sherron Thomas and I had just finished eating a great supper at Johnny Rockets on the Riverwalk and were not having any luck hailing a cab. They were all taken by the time we saw them. So we meandered around downtown for about 30 minutes or so trying to find one. We eventually came to the Hyatt Regency and figured that would be a good place to grab a cab. we were correct. My mom managed to grab one as the people using it were getting out. Now comes the fun part.
I have been taught all of my life to respect your elders. I completely agree with this philosophy and try to uphold it any way I can. Now notice the statement. "Respect YOUR elders." Mine. No one elses now. I say this because of what occurred next.
An elderly couple came up to the cab as my mom was speaking to the driver about where we needed to go. The woman just sat down in the backseat and the husband proceeded to tell my mom that the people that had just exited the cab had given it to him. Whatever, NO they didn't. Just about this time the rest of our little group arrived at the cab and my mother said that the elderly couple had taken the cab. I couldn't help it. I, politely mind you, asked just how he thought the cab was his. He said it was because he had to bad hips and had been waiting 30 minutes for a cab. So I, politely mind you, asked him how that negated the fact that we had also been waiting for a cab for 30 minutes. Then he, in such a dignified manner, stated, "God d****t! Take the d**n cab!" But my grandmother then told him to just take the cab. Which they did. Now everything worked out seeing as we managed to get a cab about 5 minutes later.
This really was not as big a deal as I made it out to be in my head, but it sure was annoying. apparently when you reach a certain age you can do whatever you choose and tell anyone who doesn't like it to "respect your elders." So maybe we should all just respect OUR elders and forget about everyone elses. Probably not, but just a thought.
And FYI, the game was GREAT. It came down to the final play. Can't ask for a better one than that!
