My young grandson was visiting for Christmas and, out of the blue, he asked me how old I was. I told him 75.
He was very quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at one?”

8’D , 8’D , OMG I’m still laughing! That menu is so long they would have hung up after the second option anyway!
And in any case, I haven’t even heard from mine in over a month!
I guess they had a great xmas and I guess I will hear about it eventually.
But for now, it is all silence. So my menu is very short cos they know better than to ring and ask for stuff!
I offer, they don’t get to demand!
