Joey talked dad into going to Bass Pro for some of the new Browning 22 ammo and they came back not talking to each other. Dad got out went and checked on the smoker and Joey just went to the shop and tossed a bag on the bench then went inside.
Tom and I was setting out on the swing drinking tea and watching the birds. Well Tom went nuts and went out and ask dad what was wrong. I'll bet he wont stick his nose in again. Dad didn't really bite him but he got loud talked at anyway. then dad came over to me and ask if sent him to fix things i just nodded no and said i knew better. So then dad ask tom to go get him a cup of coffee and in his way apologized for railing him. He sat down and I ask if he needed to vent and he looked at me and laughed. He told me of his and Joey's escapades(my word not his) in Bass Pro. Ok to start with dad does not like going there period and will only do so if they are the only ones close that has what he wants.
They got the ammunition and then Joey said he needed a specific lure or jig thingy. So to the fishing side of the store they went, now you need to know Joey is a looker when he is shopping so i think he had to stop a few times to many to look at poo (my word) before dad told him we need to get the lure and get back he had meat smoking. so no more stops. They get there and walk up and down the rows at least twice and dad asks just what are they looking for.
That's where everything bit Joey in the butt. He told dad he was looking for a Wally Marshall. so dad looks all the rows again and finds nothing with that name. so Joey finds some that will work and they head home all the while Joey is bitching because he knows Bass Pro has the things he buys them there all the time. They stop so drinks and dad gets a soda, right then Joey should have known to shut up and drive. Dad said he goes he knows they sell the crappie max lures we just couldn't find them.
That's when the first round started. Dad told Joey he passed them at least a dozen times. To which Joey goes well hell why didn't you say something. Dad told him he said Wally Marshall not crappie max. Second mistake correcting a peed off dad. So it turns out the Wally guy is a TV fishing guy that uses the lures and must catch a lot of fish. Well he uses crappie max lures they are not marked Wally Marshall. Joey told him well hell everybody know who Wally Marshall is. As dad is telling us Tom is biting his lip because laughing would bring out the curse of Thor or whatever god you see and bad. so we go in and set down for dinner and dad and Joey are quiet then mom starts round two by asking if they got everything.
Dad didn't say a word just kept eating and Aunt Joyce ask Joey who wet in dads cereal. So joey apologizes and tell them he thought dad know a man but he didn't and it caused a major delay. Dad is still not talking but did nod in agreement. we finished and dad got up for coffee and ask if anyone else wanted a cap. Tom, Joey and Aunt Joyce all jumped on it. as dad was pouring them Joey told him if it would help he could spit in his. That fixed everything, dad laughed and it was over.
Now you need to understand this part, dad smiles a lot and chuckles, he does not laugh often and then he cant control it. He didn't finish the coffee he just stood there laughing like a hyena and it lasted a long time. Finally he got his breath and sat down, mom had fixed everyone's coffee and set it on the table. So after all the crap it is still a good day. All of the men are out with the meat now. us women are working of the corn on the cob and other stuff that will hold in the cooler. Mom and Aunt Joyce are working on stuff for the church dinner tomorrow, they know we are not staying but dad always brings stuff even if we don't stay.
They are getting a bonus this dinner Aunt Joyce made a King Cake for the church dinner. the kicker is she didn't make one for us, her reason is she can make us one whenever we need one. i will relate the Spock question here. When does the want of the one out way the need of the many, tight now. I want a King Cake. A lot of details are missing, but they will find a page. I was in the dog house for a bit yesterday and today dad hasn't said anything about it to me.
Ok, we have our first full blown lightening bug show and all work just stopped to watch it. The kids are out trying to catch some night lights HaHa! I did it as a girl too so I will help if its needed.
