Some bantering grace.

These first days when the weather warms give shocks to a person's body, so that everyone in this city wanders with enthusiasm. And I took my boy pup out to get some ice cream. When on our way home along the sidewalk, two elders were rolling past each other on their scooters, and the old man tipped his hat at the woman, winked, and said, "Good afternoon, darling." And the old woman gave that confident little laugh that young girls first learn when they notice how capable they are of manipulating boys. She gave that laugh, and said, "Don't you get fresh, sir."
