B.I.N.G.O and bingo was his name-o
Have I turned into an old geezer or was I one all the while.
Let me explain.
Mom and I have a new plan on Saturday's. We start out running out of the house to get to Bingo on time. (it starts at 11 pm and we usually get up at 10:45:). I never rally liked Bingo cause it's very intense. Having to pay so much attention to all these rows of numbers is not a fun afternoon for me. Or at least it wasn't.
Now I'm the one telling my mom to get up and get ready. I'm the one who's got the dabbers ready and everything set up to go.
Dabbers are the inkers that you use to cross out your number on your bingo card. Believe it or not, you have to use it or your bingo card becomes forfeit. And Mom and I have gone all over town looking for these things with little to no luck at all. At Wal-Mart they run 2 for a dollar but at the bingo hall they run for 1.25 for one. And before you start to say...so it's only a 1.25... let me tell you that a whole game of bingo can cost you a dollar so your losing a whole game by buying a dabber.
See what I mean by me becoming an old geezer. Yeesh! It's only a dollar. I need a life.
So at the bingo hall there's this old guy who has to get his way. There is also a TV screen displaying the numbers on the balls to play with. Well this guy wanted to shut off the first row of lights so he can see the TV screen better, but that left the room to dark for my mom to see her cards.
WELL I shouted out "Hey now my mom can't see. Sorry you'll have to put the lights back on."
This caused such a scene as the old guy started shouting "I come here all the time and I play here all the time and I can't see the screen!"
Well if he came there all the time why didn't he pick a better table to sit on?
And then all the little old ladies started to attack us saying..."Can't they move? He can't see the screen."
I thought they would be on my side since the dark room would effect them too.
I guess the game is on. It's me against the old fart. Start your engine on your scooter chair buddy cause now it's war. ;)
After that Mom and I will go to the movies or shopping or something but Bingo is becoming my fav past time.
What will I do next? Start taking Sweet-n-Low packets from Bob Evans or Perkins!
