The Tavern in Bedford – October 22, 2013
Mrs. Po and I decide to go to the Tavern in Bedford for
supper. We also want to hear honorable
son, Dave Jr. sing and play there. This
is rare time when he actually let us know he play – he usually not tell us. We
not know why he not tell us he’s playing, but we are slowly figuring it out.
Waitress run upstairs and down many times for us. Master Po
want to tell her she need “Dumb Waiter” or elevator to make trips easier. He say instead, “What you need is ‘Lazy Susan’”. She look at Master Po like he from Pluto and
pretend to giggle, but deep inside, Master Po find out he moron, and soon
understand why Dave Jr. not want us there.
Next, during music, Master Po try to have conversation with Mrs.
Po . He read somewhere where conversation
is the key to life-long bliss in marriage, so he try his best to keep matrimony
in top shape. As he talk to Mrs. Po across table, he notice she looking at him,
but singing along with Dave Jr. in song. He say, “that is kind of rude, that
you are singing while I’m trying to talk to you.
Mrs. Po answer with, “Well, I can’t hear what you’re saying
anyway.” Then I learn next valuable
lesson – when one can’t hear conversation, best way to combat problem is TO
MAKE MORE NOISE AND SING ALONG WITH SON.
Master Po still confused over this issue, but he want to keep harmony in
matrimony so he just say, Okay, and I talk louder.
Master Po then yell aloud, “Play some Kris Kristofferson”
and Po Junior look my way in horror, as he know song, but can’t remember words
cause he not play it for 28 years. It is
then I realize for sure why Dave Jr. not want his parents around when he
entertaining. We asked for check and head home.
Mrs. Po ask on way back most fundamental question of the
universe Master Po ever hear. She say
with voice of inquiry, “ Has there always been one stall in the ladies’ room at
that bar, or at one time were there two?”
While I sit in silence, Mrs. Po add, “ I guess that’s not a
question you could answer.”
We now re-evaluate our next trip to hear Dave Jr. sing and
play.
