QUICKIE: Vincenzo, choosing a birthday card for Kevin: “Oh! Look at the cat in a birfday helmet!”
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Abby and her parents came for dinner last night. Here’s how you know you’ve gotten too comfortable with your friends:
1. Whenever they visit, at least one person is not wearing pants
2. The birthday cake for your husband has a candle shaped like the number 4 and no one asks any questions about it
3. When your guest asks for the recipe you just served them, you are honest. “First you brown the beef and add chili sauce; then you realize that tastes like crap so you rinse the beef off in the sink and open a can of Manwich…”
4. Your completely potty trained children lose all control of their bodily functions and pee all over the house, you, and each other
5. Someone goes home wearing someone else’s underwear
But the real highlight was when we went downstairs to play Rockband. Vincenzo requested “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and he was on mic with Abby on guitar. As soon as the song started, Vincenzo began singing, “Byomp byomp byoooommmp.” Abby turned to him and said with admiration and awe, “He knows this song!”
