The Granny - Part Two by Joanne Morris Okano

     After the wedding reception, Granny and Arlington (her husband) drove to their honeymoon destination - Scunthorpe.  Why they went to Scunthorpe is another story which I will tell sometime, but when they arrived there all went well, until a horde of mosquitoes attacked them when they were in bed.  They phoned down to the front desk and asked for a mosquito net to put over the bed.  The hotel supplied the mosquito net.
     The next day the couple ordered breakfast and their toast was cold, but apart from that there couldn't have been a happier day.
     They drove home on icy roads in a snowstorm and reached Granny's own hotel at nine o'clock at night just in time to watch the news.  An election was announced.
     "I'll run for the Libertarian Party," said Arlington.  "I've always wanted to do that."
     "Oh, darling," said Granny. "What a wonderful man you are...What is the Libertarian Party?"   
     "Freedom.  They stand for freedom," he replied.
     He received one vote.  "Oh, well, such are the times," he said.
