He's a smart kid. He wants to take her to the movies. He lets her pick which one. He purchased the tickets on-line, so they don't have to wait. He's so excited.
His Dad torments him for the 24 hours leading up to it. His Dad wants to drive him. His Dad wants to embarrass him. He doesn't want Dad to drive, but Mom is unavailable. Or is she? At the last moment her plans change and she offers. Teasingly Mom and Dad argue about who gets the privilege. Mom wins. His sister comes along for the ride.
They find her house. He goes to the door. Her parents aren't home, darn it. They walk to the car, both smiling ear to ear. She looks happy. He looks a little nervous. He forgets to open her door... that's ok. They chit chat. His Mom is quiet... until she remembers what's in the glove box. She smiles to herself in anticipation. Ok, the moment is right, "I have the best picture of him taking a bath in a sink. Would you like to see it?" Without hesitation she almost screams "YES!" His quiet but firm voice says, "Don't you darn!" His sister flips the latch and starts rummaging through the maps and car repair/oil change receipts. Hmmm, no luck. We pull up at the theater. Mom suggests he go on in and get the tickets and she can wait with us. With narrowed eyes he agrees. Quickly we grab everything out of the compartment and start searching. "HERE IT IS! Ooops, nope, wrong photo." With one eye watching for his return, I finally found it. And hand it back to her. Laughter fills the car. His sister comments that she has the cutest laugh. We have shared a moment. :-)
Oh yes I did!
:-D
He walks back out to the car with tickets in hand. The look on his face is happy, nervous and disbelief when he realizes the photo was located. He hands his Mom her credit card. He opens her door. (I think, I can't remember exactly because I was wrapped up in pride of a job well done.)
I played the dutiful wife and took a quick pic of the picture and sent it in a text message to his Dad and said "Adequately embarrassed him in front of her just thought you'd like to know. :-) Yes, I showed her this picture." I quickly received a phone call and heard "THAT'S AWESOME!"
We have waited all afternoon with anticipation to hear the details. What will he share? His Dad already has his line planned... he will get right up next to his face and point at his mouth and say, "is that a little lipstick?" Haha!
After the movie they planned to go to lunch and walk around the outdoor shopping area.
He got home at 4:38pm. HUGE smile on his face. He walks over and hands me two hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. Him: "She wanted the 5 for $5 deal." Me: "Aw, you bought her 3?" :-) Me: "So, where'd you eat lunch?" Him: "we had a cookie at Blue Chip and ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery." Me: "What happened to lunch?" Him: "well, we had sweets! :-)" Me: "Did you have fun?" Him: "Yes!"
His Dad laid on his bit. His eyes roll and he leaves.
Oh, how fun! :-)
Happy Saturday!
