Pocomoke City, Maryland

Jasper: *drinking a can of Dr Pepper and watching Sanford and Son*

Aaron: Can't we watch something else?

Jasper: *hard of hearing*

Aaron: Hello???

Jaylen: He's hard of hearing, Aaron! You have to speak louder!

Me: Exactly!

Aaron: *speaks louder* Can we something else?

Jasper: No, I'm watching Sanford and Son.

Aaron: I want to watch Three's Company!

Jasper: I need another Dr Pepper.

Aaron: *sighs, goes to the fridge, and gets a Dr Pepper out, and gives it to Jasper* Here.

Jasper: Thank you. *drinks it*

Aaron: Uh huh. How long are we gonna be in Maryland?

Jaylen: I don't know.

Me: Does anyone want some Hardees?

Jaylen: I do!

Jasper: Bring me back two cheeseburgers.

Me: Okay. Jaylen and I will walk over to Hardees.

Jaylen: Yeah, let's go. Aaron, stay here with Jasper.

Aaron: Can't I walk to Hardees with you guys?

Me: No! Stay here with Jasper, in case he needs help getting to the bathroom! We'll be right back. *leaves with Jaylen to go walking to Hardees off of US 13 (Ocean Hwy)

Aaron: I hate this. *watching Sanford and Son, much to his chagrin*

A/N Jasper sure loves Dr Pepper! Aaron needs to speak louder, when he is talking to Jasper. He's in his 90s, and his hearing isn't all that great. Don't be a silent reader. Please leave feedback. Thanks.
