MeandMarj: I just like plain old food!

Grandmother: He called me up and we started dating!
Alison: Where did you go in Boston on your dates?
Grandmother: On the street right near where I lived. What was the name of that street? Maybe it was Newbury. There were a number of inexpensive restaurants. We always went to this one cheap restaurant.
Steve: Cheap? Why did you let him take you to a cheap restaurant? You didn't want to go to fancy restaurants?
Grandmother: I don't like fancy restaurants. I just like plain old food!

Alison: You were willing to go with them?
Grandmother: They were so nice!
Alison: Did you ask if they were going to take you home?
Grandmother: I just said I lived a couple of blocks away - which was true - and then they explained. Since there were two of them, I wasn't frightened.
Alison: What did they explain?
Grandmother: I don't really remember.
Alison: Did you like riding in the cop car?
Grandmother: They were going to put me in the back but one said, "I think you should sit in the front," and I wasn't going to argue with them because they were cops!
