A happy and blessed Easter Sunday to us all, my friends, how are you? I and my sister went to church to attend mass at 9:30AM. There were so many things I observed while in church and outside. As usual, I and my sister went to a famous food store to buy our lunch for take-out. There is a priority lane for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women. My sister stayed next to a senior woman, but on the fourth place is a young woman. Then there came a senior citizen. She went directly in front of the queue and wanted to have her orders taken. I informed her that the end of the line is after the old woman in printed blouse. Then this lady in the 4th place told this woman to stay in front of her, like, inserting her between the 3rd and herself. I said to the young woman, “How could you do that? There are other senior citizens waiting in line behind you, and this woman came and you want her ahead of the rest?” The other senior citizens also raised their voices to this young lady. She blushed after. The woman said, “I am just counting what number I am. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven”. Then she went up, and called her family to transfer to another food store. We smiled. There are really some senior citizens who grow not older, but backwards to childhood. A woman said, “We should act our age; the younger generation will not respect us anymore if we do what we want to do.”
