    Will the tables ever turn where Opal will get a taste of her medicine of places Earl wants to go and she doesn’t? Like — oh, I don’t know — the fishing aisle of a K Mart?

    Most battles have a winner and a loser so Earl’s premises are both correct. He just happens to be on the losing side whenever the fabric store is the battleground.

    I wonder if Opal can drive? Sounds like my Mom and Dad. She couldn’t drive…

    Never in a million years would I take my husband to a place he doesn’t want to go. I don’t want to hear “are we finished yet?” “How much longer are we staying?” “Are we going to spend the night?” Plus, why would I want him to go somewhere he doesn’t want to go? I don’t understand these retired people who are joined at the hip. I have friends who won’t go to church if their husbands are out of town. Seriously? Do they think they’re going to get hit on?

    Sometimes if my mom doesn’t want to drive, I will drop her off and go somewhere else. Whe she is done she can text me and I go get her. Not sure why Earl and Opal don’t do that.

    I have ( in part ), solved the problem of accompanying my wife on her shopping expeditions, by using the national pastime of price haggling, and the “gouge the gringo” mentality of shopkeepers. My wife loves to bargain and find the best prices. I have convinced her that when the sellers see me – a 6’ 200+lb. gringo with white hair and beard resembling ( at the moment ) Papa Noel in civvies, – they automatically raise the prices, assuming ( incorrectly ), that I have money.

    This gambit works well, in most instances. She’s convinced that she can get a better deal, without me in tow.

    When I do accompany her, I stay outside the store, or when we shop in the mercados, ( open air markets ) I stand a discrete distance away, out of the eye line of the merchant, but within signaling distance to come and carry the purchases.

    Especially if you’re married.
