I had some variation of the following conversation no fewer than 10 times this past weekend at work with a little old demented lady:
Little Old Demented Lady: "Young lady, ya like to drink iced tea?"
Me: "Of course!"
LODL: "You ever try cherries in it?" (pronounced with a "w" instead of an "r")
Me: "Why, no! That sounds delicious"
LODL: "I tell you what you do: you put a few cherries in the tea, and then you put a teaspoon of cherry juice in there. Mmmmm it's so good. I tell you what else you can do is you can put cherries in your milk! You ever thought of that?"
Me: "No, but that sounds like something I'd like to try!"
And so on and so forth. Rinse and repeat a few hours later.
Towards the end I couldn't help but to mess with her a little bit. She'd start to ask me if I drink iced tea and I'd say "Yeah, you know what's great is to put CHERRIES in there!!" and then we'd have this fake little bond for a little while.
