I hope you enjoy this story. My children have a wonderful Grandmother that has told many great stories over the years. Here is the one of her first date.
Grandma was a shy nineteen and had never been on a date. Her older sister and husband had a friend that was paid to take her out on her first date. He was older, polite and chose to take her to a drive-in theater. The movie began and Grandma realized she needed to use the ladies room. She excused herself from the car and wandered back to the concession area. After spending time in the ladies room, she walked out into the dark and realized, to her horror, she did not remember what car her date was driving. So she began to walk up row after row, searching for her unfamiliar date and car. Pretty soon she heard a horn honking. As she approached the car and began to climb in, her date thought perhaps she should pull the back of her skirt out of her panties. Grandma was horrified and sat quietly through the rest of the movie.
Once the movie was over, her date asked if she was hungry and would she like to get a burger. She quickly smiled and nodded. They drove to a nearby local hangout. Going inside the crowded burger joint they seated themselves at a booth. She ordered a coke and fries. When the waitress brought the coke, Grandma placed the straw in the glass, took a long drink. The fizziness tickled her nose and she abruptly sneezed, the straw went up her nose and she sat there, coke everywhere and the straw hanging from her nose. Her date, calmly and coolly, stated “Do you always drink your coke that way?” They both laughed. Not long after that first date, they were married.
