Aunt Penny at lunch!

It was that time of the year again, when we would have to drag Aunt Penny for her own birthday celebration. You see, she did not like counting the years in her age, just like she did not like (understatement) counting the pennies when handing them out to someone else!

Yet drag her we did, to the new Italian restaurant around the corner. We did not allow Aunt Penny to look at the menu, lest she faint (again) seeing the prices, and quickly ordered the yummiest sounding dishes for everyone. Unfortunately, Aunt did not like what we ordered for her, and so she barely ate. Not that she eats that much anyways - what with all the inflation! ;)

Rest of lunch went without much excitement, but as the bill arrived, so did an "Aunt Penny moment". Aunt Penny, quickly declared "I am not going share the bill - I barely touched my lunch!". And just as the giggles started we heard "and .. please bag the remaining lunch for me.....".
