My dad would sit there acting like his tv remote was a cell phone in front of his grandkids. One said something to me about it thinking he had lost it. It went over their head he was poking fun of them.Back in the day, in East Houston, we had, "crazy lady with the phone". Way before cell phones, she walked the neighborhood with the cordless phone from her house, and even carried it with her to Walmart half a mile away.
Not at all scared.
One of the more memorable experiences I've had during the course of what should be a normal, boring day was parking, legally, on the street across from a garage sale. My car was on the street to the side of the corner house and I walked over to the garage sale.In Houston there was a crazy lady who use to sweep the street in front of her house.
