I didn't get to go to bingo but I did get to go out to dinner. Sitting in a Greek restaurant, waiting on my food and looking around, I noticed the folks sitting across from me. There were two sets of adults (one set on each side of the table) and two teen girls (sitting side by side). What caught my attention was the two teen girls, roughly around age 14-15. One was dainty, long blonde hair, and dressed in a red floral dress. Beside her, the other girl was taller, dressed in a sweater, dress pants, and dress shoes, with hair buzzed fairly short.
I didn't think much of it at first. Then I noticed that each time the parents were involved in conversation amongst themselves, the taller one would turn to the blonde, wink, and they would both share that "knowing" smile. I'll admit, I'm a nosey person lol Throughout my meal I would occasionally glance over at their table. Most times, the two girls would be holding hands under the table. Then, towards the end of the meal, the taller one became more bold and placed her arm around the shoulder of the blonde. The blonde froze for a moment and looked almost fearful, glancing at the parents. Then, both sets of parents smiled to the girls and (not knowing what was said) the whole table was laughing and cheery. The girls both seeming perfectly at ease then.
This surprises me so much. In my area, where those in our community are so frowned upon/bullied/hated upon, these two sets of parents gathered in a public restaurant so that their teen daughters could have a date night. You could see the support from both sets of parents. You have no idea how very much this warmed my heart. THAT is my idea of a Hallmark moment. <3
