On Hitting Gold

Mama Lai was relating to me the story of how she and Papa Lai first met.  I mused out loud “I wonder what Papa Lai thought when you said “yes’” when he asked you out and without hesitation Mama Lai said

“He hit gold.”

I told Mama Lai that I hope that one day I’ll find a man felt the same way about me and Mama Lai said:

“Maybe if you lost 15 pounds that would happen.”
