This and That – Mom and Beer-n-Cheese.

For those of you who know my dear mother’s situation, you know that I’m never sure what she does or doesn’t understand. And conversation between the two of us is limited to answering the same question over and over, usually revolving around this: “Did it rain last night…”

But at tonight’s supper, things were different. The conversation went something like this: “Mom, that’s a new kind of soup that you’re eating.”

“Oh really. What kind is it?”

“It’s Campbell’s Beer-n-Cheese soup.”

Dramatic pause, as the little wheels in her little mind slowly turned. Then she asked, “Beer-n-Cheese…will it make me drunk?”

After muffling my laughter, I answered, “No Mom, it won’t.”

And then without hesitation, she said, “Good! Because I like it…just don’t tell the preacher.”

And that folks is the evening chuckle from the Kalberg Estate.

Later Gaters!
