Memory

Mrs Myrtle Standich met Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse at her residence to see a new armoire, purchased by Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse. Mrs. Myrtle Standich commented that Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse had "good reason to be proud" of her selection. Five minutes of attribute displaying by Mrs. Gloria Rhinhouse and attribute examination by Mrs. Myrtle Standich followed. Once this had been accomplished a general opinion between the two was that tea would be adequate. Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse suggested the newly established Kalesburg Dunkin' Donuts, as she had been planning a visit for some time. A ten minute drive in Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse's brown Lincoln Town Car followed.

A most fortunate and surprising parking space was found close to the entrance door. Another surprise awaited inside as Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner could be seen through the large front window, visiting the Kalesburg Dunkin' Donuts along with their adolescent grandson. A hurried dialogue was conducted before entrance by both Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse. The subject was the name of Mr. and Mrs. Wagner's grandson, whom both Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse were aware of meeting previously. An attempt was made by Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse to leave, but Mr. Harold Wagner was quick to spot them and add the inevitable invitation inside.

A genial greeting was given by all. Said Mrs. Harold Wagner, "And you remember our grandson." Both Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse nodded. It could also be noted that both felt the lack of reinstating her grandson's name was a most impolite challenge by Mrs. Harold Wagner. Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse left the table with promise to return after they ordered.

Earl Grey was ordered by Mrs. Myrtle Standich along with a croissant. Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse's ordered a lemon tea and a Bavarian Kreme Donut, an apparent Kalesburg Dunkin' Donuts delicacy. An air of unease could be felt between the two even as seats were taken at the table of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner's choosing. Said Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse in a most hurried fashion, "your grandson reminds me of someone famous." Fifteen minutes of discussion was conducted by all excepting Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner's grandson about whom this celebrity could be. It was agreed upon after a suggestion by Mr. Harold Wagner that he resembled a young version of the acclaimed television actor, Mr. Michael Landon.

Pleasant conversation immediately followed in which the identity of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner's grandson was never revealed nor was the topic even touched upon. Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Gloria Rhinehouse upon leaving made a pact to remember, in lieu of name, remember Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wagner's grandson for what he ordered, a bear claw and a medium-sized tropical fruit smoothie.
