My parents are awesome

March 2nd, 2005

I visited my folks tonight and they shared the cutest story about days gone by:

They would buy cigarettes (Benson & Hedges 500′s) and carry them around, and not smoke them. If they were at a party, they would take them out & put them on the table, and sort of smoke a cigarette. But not really, because they didn’t inhale. It was more like they were waving their cigarettes around for effect. Which cracked me up. My mom was giggling by this point, hugging my dad, and I had this vision of my parents making a show of holding cigarettes to look cool. The things we do to fit in…

I love you mom & dad.
