While on a road trip

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped
At a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing their meal, they left the
Restaurant, and resumed their trip.
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly
Left her glasses on the table, and she didn't
Miss them until they had been driving for about forty minutes.
By then, to add to the aggravation, they
Had to travel quite a distance before
They could find a place to turn
Around,
In order to return to the restaurant
To retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband
Became the classic grouchy old man.
He fussed and complained, and
Scolded
His wife relentlessly during the
Entire return drive. The more he
Chided her,
The more agitated he became. He
Just wouldn't let up for a single minute.
To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant.
As the woman got out of the
Car, and hurried inside to retrieve
Her glasses, the old
Geezer yelled to her,
While you're in there, you might as well
Get my hat and the credit card.
