Not What You Think

Last week my mother went for a biopsy. Her mammogram showed a spot. They say that women over 85 do not need to have a yearly mammogram. I always want to know who "they" are because I think that standard is not correct. Her results came back yesterday. I called the doctor to get the news before her. The spot was benign. To get my mother's mind off of the pending results, my father took her to her favorite place, the casino. I wanted to tell them immediately that she had no reason to worry. I called their cell phone. They were still at the casino, in the food court. I gave them the good news and they both broke into tears. Tears of joy and relief. Now, picture this.... two senior citizens sitting at a table in the food court at the casino, crying. People must have thought that they lost all of their money.
