Nuts. Part II

And speaking of feeling old. There is nothing like being left out of the joke at the dinner table. Harry said, Mom, who's the main character in Percy Jackson and the Olympians (he asked as though he could not remember, as though it was on the tip of his tongue).
Poseidon? I said.
Harry looked at Dar and then laughed so hard, he fell out of his chair and had to spit the food that was in his mouth. Then Dar laughed so hard she got the hiccups.
I felt like 97 year old Granny in the wheelchair, hunched over and wobbly, having to clear her throat through the phlegm and baked potato still in her mouth, "What is it?"
