This sighting goes back to May of 2000. Cindy and I were dining out "together alone" which is a term couples with children often use. This was in her pre-smoking days. In fact, it was in the entire family's pre-smoking days but it gave a preview of things to come.
Admission to the smoking section came by saying it didn't matter in smoking preference. That answer serves as a quick way to get seated and an innocent way to be seating in the smoking section, better known to me as the viewing section.
Anyway, there was this man, a woman and four young ladies. The girls could have been three sisters and a friend. Let's call one the graduate although there was some indication she was a senior to be in high school. Call the next one the freshman. Then there was the middle schooler and 10er.
They sat at the table and the rather attractive brunette mother plopped down a pack of Marlboro Reds. She quickly lit one. The oldest girl, a blonde, lit a Marlboro Light. The freshman, a brunette who looked much like her mother, made some comment about the older girl smoking. The older girl said I'm old enough to buy my own.
The middle schooler may have been a visitor. She was not nearly as expressive as the other girls.
As the girls exchanged friendly talk about smoking, the graduate suddeny stubbed her cig out and put it back in her pack. Her mother finished her Marlboro.
Soon the mother lit up again and the graduate lit the other half of her cigarette. The freshman made some comment including the fact that she was going to become a sophomore with the end of school and a cheerleader at her high school next year.
The youngest girls ask the oldest if she was head cheerleader. The oldest said assistant head cheerleader.
The banter went on with the mother smoking a whole cigarette and the oldest daughter a half. The freshman continually made comments that indicated she smoked but was not smoking at the restaurant.
The mother said nothing but let her open-mouth inhales do the talking. At one point, the freshman called the youngest by name and told her that she would enjoy smoking when she got a chance.
By now I bet the graduate has graduated to smoking full cigarettes, the freshman is rather accomplished and the young one my be trying them. The other, I'm not so sure. The mother is a show of her own who has a strong supporting cast.
For me, the sighting was a preview to come.
