Resthome Running Joke (1 of ?): First occurrence.

One of the residents at the resthome is like 80 and really open-minded but is relatively straight-laced, and has a good sense of humor to boot.

So, this winter when I was escorting her to a party, I was like, "Have a good time, but don't make a scene like last year, make sure you leave some beer for everyone else."

She got a chuckle out of that, and was like, "Yeah, you got the right one."

Later that same night, I also made some joke and was like, "Do you want to go to concert, or do you want to go hang out at the bar for a while?"

(They had a small bar set up in the corner of the resthome lobby.)

She liked that too.

So, since I like running jokes and since she took everything in stride, that night ended up being the first occurrence of our ongoing running joke...
