Convo of the Week

Setting: Denny's, downtown Dallas, 11:00 pm, Mom, Bryan, Olivia, and me.

Background: Mom has just finished a performance with her competitive, backwards "I'll pay you for the right to entertain others" singing group, which is actually quite spectacular. She is dressed halfway like a 13 year old girl at a 1950's summer camp (as part of the show of course) with her hair in pigtails, a button-down longsleeve brown denim shirt, and hiking boots, not to mention enough rouge to make Heidi Fliess blush. Hot natured as she is, she starts struggling in the booth to get her denim over shirt off. She asks for my assistance. As I pull on one sleeve, with little to no success in helping her get it off, she exclaims incredulously for all the hear, "Allen, my God, have you not ever taken a woman's shirt off before?!"

Oh Mom...
