As I get older, there are ways that I get more like my mom. For instance, hearing. We used to tease Mom about the time I told her my feet hurt and her reply was, "Go to the dentist."
And we always were saying , "What?" I'm saying it more now. But you know how when people tell you about a hearing issue, and your smart-aleck reply is, "What?" Very fun, especially when they don't get it at first. (Well funny to some of us old farts...)
So, I'm standing in a long, boring line in the pharmacy, waiting. I look to my right, and I see this sign:
Hearing aides: blocks out other noises, making hearing clearer.
And I say, "What?" And laugh at myself because I've just said "what" to a product hanging on a shelf.
