We were eating dinner with my Mom on Saturday night at a tiny diner. Well, I should say Ella, Zed, my Mom, and I were eating dinner. Zoey was bouncing up and down in her seat, excited to be with her Granny.
Suddenly, Zoey froze. Her jaw dropped.
"What's wrong, Zoey?" I said.
"It's-it's-it's Cinderella and Prince Charming! Look Mommy! Cinderella! Look Daddy!" We all turned around to see what she was so excited about.
Two teenagers had just walked in the door for their pre-prom meal.
"He's taking her here before the prom?" I said to Ella. "Dude is sooooo not getting laid tonight."
"Chag! Maybe this was all they could afford." Ella replied.
I felt like a major jerk until I noticed the white limo in the parking lot. "If they can afford to fly solo in a limo (I think we piled forty-eight people in our limo for my Senior prom; it was like a clown car), they could afford to go to Chili's or Outback at the very least."
Red Sox 1, Yankees 0
One thing I love about my neighborhood is watching baseball with the guys.Despite the fact that I live in the South, I was lucky (unlucky?) enough to move into a neighborhood where T-H-R-E-E of my closest neighbors are Red Sox fans. We get together in my neighbor's garage, drink a few beers, watch the game, and talk smack. And there was plenty of smack-talking going on tonight. But somewhere around the bottom of the eighth inning, the smack-talking started getting old (at least for me).
After my fearless and, unfortunately, wrong prediction on Saturday, I fully invite all the Sox fans to pile on and give me hell. I deserve it.
I'd also like to tip my hat to Paige and Arwen (you owe me an email), both of whom admitted to being Red Sox fans. Congratulations, ladies. The first step of recovery is admitting you have a problem.
And remember... tomorrow's a brand new
Since We're Talking Sports
Draft Day Suit, a sports opinion site, debuted today. Who's involved? The Kaiser and the people behind Child's Play x2, Marginally Clever, Mommy at Work, Cheeky's Hideaway, Mr. Big Dubya, Live From The Wang Of America, Sarah and the Goon Squad, Kemp's Blog, Scott's Rant Spot, and Queen of Spain. They needed the token obnoxious Yankees fan, so I'm along for the ride as well.I'll also be contributing Kara's Mother's Day Collaboration. Look for my mother-related post next week.
