Don't order that Louie

submitted by Beth

Zazy loved spicy foods. We used to go out to eat together and after getting settled at our table we would have to say hello to all of the people who knew Zazy and Grandma. There was never an occasion when someone did not come up to us to say hello--I even remember being in a city outside of St. Louis and somebody knew Zazy!

Anyway, Zazy would always order something very spicy. And Grandma would always quietly under her breath sternly admonish him for doing so. She knew it wasn't good for him. He would sit there enjoying every bite, wiping the sweat from his brow, as Grandma would mutter "I told you so, Louie". The smirky smile that was all Zazy would never leave his face.
