Perhaps if they waited awhile (alone in the dark), the gas that had evaporated to the sides of his tank would somehow collect back into the tank and allow his car to run. On one particular ride home he pretended to run out of gas, Mom suggested they walk to a home nearby where they could see a man working in his garage, but Dad insisted they stayed put. One ride turned into two and two into three and before you knew it, Dad was driving Mom home fairly frequently. Mom must have been quite comfortable with him at this point (what with all the burger eating and poster buying), so she happily accepted. One night he overheard Mom arranging a ride home with a co-worker so he piped right in and offered to take her home. He was deeply concerned and felt terrible for the trouble he had caused and I guess double checking that everything was okay…every night…was just the reassurance he needed to know that everything was going to be okay.Īnd then he broke up with his poster-loving-girlfriend. Mom wrote up a receipt for the poster proving she did not simply GIVE the poster away, but that she sold it for an incredible profit and therefore was able to keep her job.ĭad began spending his evenings at Dairy Queen making sure my Mom still had her job. Dad was not about to cost this (striking) young lady her job! When he saw my Grandma pull into the parking lot to drop my Mom off for work, he rushed out to meet her and WARN her! The manager was upset that someone would just give the poster away and said when he found out who did it, he would fire her. When Dad returned the following day he overheard the day manager complaining about the missing poster. Mom drove a hard bargain and sold the sign to the young fellow for 25 cents. He had a girlfriend who collected posters (of ice cream cones apparently) and he wanted to surprise her with one.

While my Mom was working one evening my Dad approached her about a sign they had hanging in the window.

I imagine it was exactly like the movie Grease…letterman jackets, fancy glasses, sideburns, and a jukebox. I don’t know when burger joints and diners and seeing everyone you knew when you popped in for a milkshake stopped being a common occurrence, but I have to say I feel like I missed something special. My Mom worked at the local restaurant when she was a teenager and my Dad frequented the hot spot. I enjoy the story so I’m resharing, but this time I’ll share some adorable old pictures of the two lovebirds: Today I’m sharing a post that I wrote three years ago about how my parents met and why I owe my life to Dairy Queen…basically.
