Scene: 9:36 am Monday morning
Me: Hello.
Mom: What are you doing?
Me: I’m at work. Is everything ok?
Mom: I forgot to tell you something. Your dad won Yard of the Month.
Me: Holy crap I thought someone had died.
Mom: Anyway, yes he won Yard of the Month.
Me: Well good for him!
Mom: I was SO embarrassed. Some lady came by the house while he was home watching t.v. and HE OPENED THE DOOR IN HIS UNDERWEAR. Well, he was wearing his boxers, an undershirt and just socks. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!
Me: Actually, yes I can.
Mom: I just hope his shorts were closed all the way.
Me: Me too mom. Me too.
Mom: They gave him a little plaque for the yard and they are coming to take a picture for the newspaper tomorrow. This time I am going to make sure he has real clothes on. So nothing else going on?
Me: Nope, just working
Mom: Ok. Well call me if anything exciting happens.
Me: I don’t know if anything can top Yard of the Month. But I will try.
