When Greg visited to say goodbye before leaving for college, I reminded him I still had in the fridge some of the sodas meant for the grandsons, such as Dr. Pepper Cream Soda. As he was leaving, he went to the kitchen and said, "I'll take one for the road." In my present mode of sentimentality, my mind spun back to a time when, still a babe in his father's arms, and an early talker, he was at Madigan's and knowing that Uncle Joe always kept a stash of candy, made this very remark as his father prepared to leave. Rosemary got the biggest kick out of that. It's possible she had never heard him talk before.
