We gave it to them

I'm home in Oklahoma City for the weekend. Today, my mother and I went about our day, shopping and preparing for the dinner she is holding tonight. At one point, we pulled into a gas station to fill up. It was quite busy and there was a line for all of the pumps...all but one. So, we swung around and pulled up to it. It wasn't until after we had finished filling up and were pulling out that I noticed the big "Enter From Other Side" sign which I had blatantly disregarded. Here is the conversation that ensued:

Nicholas: Mommy - that's why there was no line...we went the wrong way.

Mommy: So - we're entitled.

Nicholas: Why are we entitled?

Mommy: Because we're Arabs - we gave them the damn gasoline in the first place.

I love my mother :-)
