White Castle has always been a favorite of Dee Dee's. Michele didn't feel like heading out today, and I get cabin fever easily, so I took Dee Dee and the girls out and left Michele home. Dee Dee raised the average female age at the table from 7 to 27.
In our discussion there, she mentions that White Castle has been around a long time, and that she doesn't remember a time when there wasn't a White Castle.
The first White Castle opened in 1921. Dee Dee was born in 1920. So that makes sense. I don't want to give the impression that everything she says is off-the-wall; much of what she has to say is accurate and/or insightful. But I just had to look up White Castle on Wikipedia just to double-check her recollection.
During lunch, she also talked a lot about how our girls are growing up, and boys are going to start checking them out. "You'll be out at a dance or a show [in her mind, these are what kids do on weekends] and two guys will walk by your girls, then they'll turn around and say 'Man, there goes a looker!'" After pausing to reflect, she then added "And boys don't always stop doing that even after they're married!"
Anyway, it was fun, and it felt surprisingly normal. We all ran back to the car in the rain, which has got to be the first time in years that Dee Dee has had to run in the rain.
Michele took a trip to Grant's Farm yesterday with Dee Dee and some members of Michele's Aunt's family (Ace, Ashley, Henry). We'll try to get some picture up soon of that trip.
