SENIOR MOMENTS

 


BY ROSEMARY BONAPARTE

A few years ago I wrote some articles for Indian Time and called them Senior Moments. I wrote about funny (or odd) things that were happening to me and other people. Some of the other people have even forgiven me. Well, lately things have been happening and no one else mentions them so I thought I’d try again.

Last night, on Elvis’ birthday, there was a concert starring T. J. Jackson singing Elvis songs. It was sponsored by the Winter Carnival committee. It was excellent. I don’t think Elvis himself ever sang as many songs or as well as T. J. did. He had a lot more music to draw from and he has had a lot of practice. He had a great audience and for a treat we had a little boy dancing in front of everybody. He kept up with the music and charmed everybody who could see him.

T. J. announced that he will be at the St. Joe’s auditorium in Cornwall on February 22nd. St. Joseph School is next to General Vanier. If you missed the concert in Snye try to catch the one in Cornwall. I guarantee you will be entertained.

This afternoon I got a telephone call from a man who demanded my insurance company. He said I wrecked his car and left the scene and only left a note on his car with my telephone number. He demanded the name of my insurance company. I said he had the wrong number but he said this is the number you left on my car. I asked his name and telephone number. He said, “You listen to me,” so I did. I waited, and waited. He finally said, “Why aren’t you saying anything?” I said, “You said to listen to you,” so I did. He said, “I demand the name of your insurance company!” I said “I don’t have a car so I don’t have an insurance company.” He tried again and finally hung up. Next I heard some cackling noise that is supposed to sound like a laugh, and somebody said, “You have just been pranked by Pranks.com.”

The man who called had the accent of an inner city drug dealer or police officer. Hey, I watch TV so I know what an inner city drug dealer or police officer sounds like. I try to find something positive from unpleasant experiences. Then it came to me. I’ve just been pranked! I’m still with it.
