Geriatric Delights

"Tacky Treats" revised into a different story!

Geriatric Delights

Well, I was thinking about the party Cheryl hosted last Tuesday. I had a ball, of course. I mean who doesn’t love pudding and pinnacle?

And I know you enjoyed yourself; I don’t think I saw you without a cup of Jell-O in hand.

But, that brings me back to what I was wondering.

Why is it that a great-grandmother can afford to supply that much prune juice, and yet feel the need to steal a walker? What? You didn’t know?

Well, I loved the sugar-free candies she served. Sweet Delights are a Wonder Walker promotional item. I had tried them before, but I now have dentures and am grateful for their hard candy line. My dentures and I wanted more information about the walker candies.

Cheryl brushed me away. I didn’t think much of it since she was trying to host a party and get a pinnacle contest going. But, boredom killed the old lady – and I was a borderline boarded bitty.

So, I asked her suitemate if she knew anything about them. Cheryl is not a homemaker. Piper was the one who prepared the Sweet Delights, so she still had the receipts with the walker’s assembly instructions.

That’s when I saw “Larry” written in blue crayon on the receipts. I asked Piper who Larry was, but she didn’t know anything about it. She just said Cheryl brought it all in from her knitting circle.

Ooo… Ambiguous sweets! I know. Thrilling, right? But, I have to admit. I was curious about this Larry fella.

Did you every meet Cheryl’s gay friend? The one with the speech problem that moved in with her friend Ginny? The same Ginny that knits in Cheryl’s group?

Did you meet Ginny? She was the granny in the puce.

I chatted a bit with her to see if Cheryl was back in contact with Larry or something. I’d heard about some of the arguments between Cheryl and Larry. (And I can’t believe she got Ginny to take that bonehead in as a suitemate.)

I was curious if we were eating Larry’s candies. Hmm... Larry’s walker…?

But as it turns out, I was wrong.

“Larry” in the blue crayon is actually one of the male knitters from their group. And when Ginny heard that we were all eating his candies, she started laughing.

Apparently one of the other men in their group signed-off on Larry’s Wonder Walker forms without his knowing. So, when the walker was delivered, Larry paid for it and acted like he knew all about it – Even though the whole group was in on it.

Senility must go a long way in those social groups.

Anyways, Larry left the walker in their meeting room and forgot all about it and the candies.

I’m not sure what persuaded Cheryl to steal them, or whether or not she’ll get caught, but we were all eating Larry’s candies on Tuesday.

How silly is that?! Wonder Walker’s Sweet Delights courtesy of senile Larry.

But what do you expect from a lady with tea cozies from Wal-Mart?
