(From Washington D.C.) getting it right
Rouse yourself. Don't be a passive reader. Figure this one out:
A mother and two grown daughters have brunch in Alexandria, Virginia. It is a dazzling day by all accounts and Alexandria is totally charming.
The threesome choose this place for brunch. Why? For the important reason that the color of the exterior matches the top the mother is wearing over her polka-dot skirt.
The three place an order.
Question: What did the mother order?
Choice A:
bloody tasty
Choice B:
greens with celeriac and grilled shrimp over mango chutney
Choice C:
blueberry wonderful
Hints:
The mother almost never eats lunch.
When she does order lunch, she rarely has anything apart from plain water to drink with it.
The mother loves blueberry anything.
The mother used to make mean bloody marys for brunches many decades ago.
*******************************
Answer: Choice B.
The mother is having a 24 hour dazzling day (see first sentence). All rules are suspended.
After lunch the mother played with a parrot.
And across the Potomac, all contemplated a familiar sight:
