While on a road trip, an elderly couple decided to stop at a roadside diner for lunch.

After finishing their meal, they got back in the car and resumed their journey.

It wasn’t until they had been driving for about forty minutes that the elderly woman realized she had left her glasses on the table at the diner.

She informed her husband, and to their frustration, they had to drive quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around.

As they headed back to the diner to retrieve the glasses, the elderly husband transformed into the quintessential grouchy old man.

He fussed, complained, and scolded his wife nonstop during the entire drive back.

The more he griped, the more agitated he became, refusing to let up for even a moment.

He muttered things like, “This is ridiculous… Forty minutes of driving wasted over a pair of glasses! Why don’t you ever check before we leave? You always forget something!”

Finally, they arrived at the diner.

The wife got out of the car and walked back in to retrieve her glasses.

As she returned and opened the car door, she calmly leaned in and said:

“While I was inside… I figured I’d grab your hat, too.”
