Thanksgiving Day and Dad was on one!! It started out well. He was raking all of the leaves in Aunt Chrissy’s backyard. It’s what he loves to do. I was thinking well, what happens when he rakes all of the leaves, what can we have him do next? When he is at home my mom can keep him busy but when he is not at home, it can be a little challenging. You gotta keep him busy or he will be following my mom like a lost puppy. So, I thought, hmmm, when he is not looking, maybe I can dump out all the leaves and he will think he has more leaves to rake. Just saying lol lol lol. Anyway, Dad also has a thing about women telling him what to do. For example, my mom was asking him to go with her to drive the car around to see if they could hear the noise that I heard when I drove it. He said, well just take it to the shop. My mom told him we needed to check it first to see if it was a problem.
Dad: I know if it’s a problem or not!!
Me: Huh??? Oh lort!
Dad: (talking to us) You know, I’m a man and you all are women. I know these things. If my wife needs a car, I give her the money to get it! I’m a man, y’all women. I’m a good man!!
Me: Where the hell did that come from???? I’m so confused.
Dad: Women need to stay in their place. Blah blah blah blah blah
He went on and on and on with all this foolishness. He was on a roll. His voice was getting a little loud and his demeanor had changed to a “I said what I said and that’s it!!”
Dad: I thought we were going somewhere?!?!
Mom: We are just be patient.
Dad: Forget then, I’ll stay home!
Mom: Richard can you go outside and water the plants?
Dad: Imma go out there and stay.
Mom: OK, get some sunshine
Me: Jesus take the wheel!!
Mom: Oh shoot, I forgot the Melatonin at home, we gotta find a CVS.
While we were out, we found a CVS and Melatonin to the rescue!! OOOOWEEEE!!!
