My grandfather, who was in the army, once told me, β€œ1940, I met my first love. 1946, my second. 1950, I met the woman of my dreams.”

β€œIt was quite a hectic evening.”

Russians

Now I know we’ve all heard the joke about how people in Russia are always rushing around, ha ha, very funny. But what a lot of people don’t know is that, for a while, Russians were the opposite. Between the 1920s to the 1950s, they just kept Stalin.

My dad was somehow prepared to drop this once in a lifetime line...

The circumstances for this joke were so specific I don't think it will ever be repeated.

Yesterday morning I stopped by my parent's house and my mom had just made coffee. She buys "raw unfiltered honey" from a local farmers market to sweeten the coffee. First she handed my dad his cup, then she was about to put a spoonful of honey in mine when she stopped and said "there's something in this honey!"

I looked at it and it was literally a bee's hairy little leg. I looked in the jar and found one more. I said "its no big deal, im sure its fine", then I picked out the legs. Just then my dad takes a big sip and makes an "Ahhh" sound like he's satisfied. He then holds up the cup and smiles at us like he's in a 1950's Folgers commercial and says "This coffee is the BEE'S KNEES!"

It was epic.

Lunch break with my dad

We went to a cafe for lunch and dad ordered the "1950's Reuben".

After a bite, "MMM! That's really good! ...must be a great refrigerator, too, with a sandwich from the '50's."
