I just don't remember it being this orange.
First, I remember being with my dad.
He would get these far-off looks in his eye, and he would say...
''Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan.''
''Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan.''
I just wish I realized at the time he was talking about my life.
But that never stopped us from taking our adventures together.
He would pack up our sometimes-working car...
and he would tell me amazing stories...
about strange and exotic lands...
as we headed off to exciting destinations like...
Milwaukee.
It's amazing how exotic Wisconsin... isn't.
But my favorite memories were the stories...
that he would tell me about my mom.
He would take me to the church where they got married...
and I'd beg him to tell me more about the ceremony...
and about my crazy Uncle lrwin...
who fell asleep in the macaroni and cheese.
And I asked my dad when he knew...
that he truly loved my mom.
And he said to me,''Lucy, your mother...
gave me a special gift.
She gave me the world.''
Actually it was a globe with a light in it.
But for the romantic that he was, it might as well have been the world.
Well, the first time I saw him...
he didn't exactly give me the world.
It was a $1.50 train token.
Uh, but II looked forward to it every single day.
He started coming to my booth between 8:01 and 8:15...
every morning, Monday through Friday.
And he was just perfect. My Prince Charming.
Well, we've nev-- We've never actually spoken.
But I know someday we will. I know it. I just know it.
And I know that someday I will find a way to introduce myself...
and, and that's gonna be perfect.
Just like my prince.
Forty-five dollars for a Christmas tree and they don't deliver?
You order $10 worth of chow mein from Mr. Wong's, they bring it to your door.
Oh! Ooh, I should've gotten the blue spruce. They're lighter.
