“I'm not eating in this place again, Edna.”
“What'd you mean? I enjoyed my shrimp with lobster sauce.”
“Maybe. But my chicken Parmesan was no good.”
“You had General Tso's chicken. We're at the Pagoda Palace, not Tony's Italian Villa, Ed.”
It was another senior moment. Here he'd been looking forward to a cannoli for dessert. He dejectedly set down his chopsticks.
Now came the fortune cookies.
Edna cracked one open. “How about that, Ed. It says, ‘Your next meal will be at an Italian restaurant.’”
“Really?”
She lied. It read, "The love of your life is right before you."
