Dan is feeling better. He is starting to try and torment me. The stories of my getting lost are legion. At times when I leave for the store or to run and errand he will ask, "Now do you know how to get there?" and he will proceed to tell me where it is.
I decided to go get us both a fancy coffee at the nearby CityBrew. I don't go there very often. Today when I pull up the young man at the window greets me by name. Smiling.
I mentally review if he is one of my previous students. I do not recognize him either as a previous elementary student nor as one of my college students. Perplexed I wait.
He comes back, grins. "Your husband called and would like a slice of banana bread."
Laughter, "He said, you would be driving a white Prius." He continues, "We laughed over the call." He waits for me to approve the addition. "Now your name is firmly in my mind."
I laugh and look at his name tag - Ty. His name is now firmly in my mind as well.
Arriving home I put the banana bread in my purse and carry in the two drinks. I talk about the drinks and my husband tries to see if I have his requested treat. I pretend to not know what is going on.
Finally he says, "Did you get the banana bread?"
I let him off the hook and take out the bag and hand it to him.
And we laugh.
