You might be a “Southie” if...

Ralphie, my dad lived in a perpetual state of “forever 39,” for as long as I can remember. (He was a big jokester, too. ) Anytime the opportunity arose, he would jump at the chance to always remind me/us of his age. Always!

It wasn’t until my DH had already turned 40 that I told him he was gonna have to age some because “I was now married to a man older than my dad.” He finally upped his age, 10 whole years!

Hmmmm....
Ok, I’m going to take a crack at your obscure reference. Here’s my guess:

Armadillos are known for having leprosy and even spreading it to humans. I believe that the island of Molokai used to be a leper colony. So, eating the leper’s lunch special could get you a one way trip to Molokai.

Am I correct or (somewhat close)?

Now how much of that did you Google?

I knew about the armadillos and leprosy, but didn’t know about Molokai, so I admit that I did have to google info about the island. Once I found out that it used to be a leper colony, I figured out the link between the two!

I love a good mystery!

Did it say when it closed?

I knew about the leper colony because we lived in Hawaii on the Big Island for a while. But there's now a cure for leprosy, which is good, because our chickens and cats have been known to get kind of close to them.

I have visited the colony. Kind of. There is a huge overlook, huge for Molokai. I think two cars could be there at once.

We lived on Maui.
