A mildly funny tale from home about Rehoboth Beach [View All]

[bertha katzenengel]

Home is Huntington Beach, California. My sister writes:

At Albertsons the other day, the young lady checker, with a funny smile on her face, asked Eric* why he was wearing a Rehoboth Beach t-shirt. I said, hoping Eric wouldn't hear me, "Because my sister's a lesbian." She said, "What?" Then I said, "My sister went there on vacation." She said, still smiling, "Did she have a good time?" I said, "Yes, she absolutely loved it." We said it all without words.

Unfortunately, Eric did hear me, and asked if Rehoboth Beach is a gay resort type of place. I told him I think so, but that maybe it's like San Francisco, lots of gays AND straights. Now he's embarrassed and says he can't wear that t-shirt anymore. He was a little upset that I never told him, but he was laughing.
