ID Proof




At Wallmart today I bought a case of beer and others items.  Most of the people had masks and there seems to be a fashion contest on who can have he most creative mask.  I noticed when conversing with someone with a mask at sounds like a bunch of seals trying to communicate.
At the checkout line the elderly couple ahead of us were buying some children items like a little rocking chair.  We said, “You must be grandparents.”
“Great grandparents” the corrected me.  “What about y’all”:
We have a grandson. 
Then we talked about our grandson and they talked about their great grandchildren.
Then they left and it was our time with the cashier
When the case of beer rang up Anna said, “Eddie show her your i.d.
The  cashier swished her hand across the air and said, “I don’t need it, all that talk about his grandson proved  he is over 21.”
We all mumbled a squashed laugh through our masks.
