I was
relaxing having a great non working weekend and then the 3M’s started in, minor intrusions at
first and then full force into my peaceful uneventful relaxing weekend[tinkering on the sailboat ]
The normal
daughter / Father stuff started :
From my 14yr
old “Yes we need to go to the mall[45 minutes away] , I need a new shirt for
school [she goes to a private school , she wears white oxford cloth button
shirts daily ,available here on the island for $12.99 each, why the mall ?]…and
the book store Barnes and Noble to buy a Harry Potter 2 video set with the commentary [so much for
private schooling , reading and that Christmas box set collection of HP books ]….and Starbucks for a Mocha Frappecino Carmel dark Grande latte iced [what happened to a
coke and fries from Macdonalds dollar menu???]…..oh and we need to stop at the
jewelers to get my ring cleaned and polished [Hmmm???Now I am really confused …what
ring? ]
From my 17yr
old “ Dad , we need some food ,we have
to go to the food store , we need some healthy food , salads , fruits , grains ,
whole nuts , juices “ [speaking while eating a double stuffed Oreo ] oh and we
need some shoes [ we need shoes????hmmmm wasn’t it just Christmas ?????shoes
already?????]Oh and I need some money [ of course] , I am going to study with
my friend at the local Coffee house [study at a coffe house???hmmm]for our end
of the semester finals……twenty should cover it ,wait no better make it 25 bucks
to be safe “[ pls remember I bring my lunch to the office and clip coupons for
2 for 1 dinners out , I am not cheap just a …….ok I am cheap!!!!]……oh yeah
&^%$##[I call him pimples with a pickup] will be there too! ....He is so nice
and sweet…..
From the
18yr old “Everyone is going to a party at &^%$#@ house , Can I go ? ……And would you
pick me up a bottle of Myers Rum? We are making rum and cokes …oh yeah while
your picking up the rum would you get some APPLE vodka drinks also ?????.....Oh
yeah Her parents are out of town …..but it is ok ....They don’t care if we drink at
their house…..Oh yeah there will be boys there …….and &^%$# will be there
,He got accepted into South Texas Dirtwater
University [ I called him “the nerd in mommy’s beamer”]and Music Yeah
Dad!! Duh!!!! ….we may go night swimming …….You know the house off the way
there ….on the water ….by the back bayou….Oh
I will probably spend the night …depends on how much we are drinking ……no
problem I can drive and drink …we have the fix in with the police on the island
……..
While
milling over everything in my mind I couldn’t help but review several things
I will never say:
10. Well, how 'bout that?... I'm lost! Looks like we'll have to
stop and ask for directions.
9. You know Pumpkin, now that you're older, you are ready for unchaperoned car dates!!!!! with no curfew!!! Have fun!!!!!
8. I noticed that your friends have a certain “up yours” attitude ... I like that …tell them to keep it up ,come over any time I enjoy being snubbed.
7. Here’s a charge card and the keys to my car – GO out to eat with your friends and GO CRAZY. It only money.!!!!!!!
6. You want to drop out of the STEM program and take easier classes –Sure sweetheart you don’t need science , stats or econ classes. Your inheritance with take care of you forever!!!!!
5. I am going sailing for the weekend ... you might want to consider throwing big beach party.... I will buy the drinks !!!!!!.
4. That big old oak tree ran into your car .I will call the city and have it cut down.The nerve of trees running into perfectly good cars driving on the road. Just have it towed to a mechanic and I will pay whatever he asks and take my car out and see if another Oak tree has the nerve to run into you!!!!
3. No daughter of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring in her navel–now quit your belly-aching, and go to the mall and get this done.
2. Whaddya wanna go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.
1. Father’s Day? Aahh – don’t worry about that – it’s no big deal.
