What's good world?! With Thanksgiving drawing to an end, I felt the urge to write this blog about a recent series of events this past week. My Dad is a funny guy, our relationship ranges from hot to cold or is anywhere in between...... but it's definitely all love! Cooking is a bond that my Pops and I share, we usually cook every Sunday. Generally I clean and season the meat while he preps the grill or other cooking devices that we need. This past Sunday, Nov 18, he asked me to run to the store and pick up a couple of yard birds (chicken), so we could put them in the rotisserie. I was like.... "cool I'll go in an hour"..... that hour lasted 4 hours and some change, because I set my alarm for 11:30pm as opposed to am. So I woke up to the Panthers game, I knew I was late.... the thing is, the aroma of the house was that of a rotisseried chicken..... so I chilled and was like cool! I didn't eat with the fam that Sunday, because the Cowboys game was real serious at that point...... after the Cowboys beat the Redskins I felt the need for dinner. My Mom was chilling at the table when I sat down to eat and she informed me that my Dad was UPSET with me. I already knew that he was HOT because I didn't get those birds for him, so I responded "I don't know why, he wakes me up any other time that I am asleep when he really wants something! So what was so different about today?! Hmmmm?". So this guy is all upset with me for like two days, guess it didn't help that I was telling him how good the chicken from Sunday tasted! I mean really, that was some good "Barn Yard Pimp"! Back to Tues..... my Dad had to stop being mad at me for a sec because he needed me to help him load up his truck for the Pre-Thanksgiving get together, so I helped him out, judging by his actions and tone he was still mad. So Wednesday arrives and we all are having a ball, suddenly my Dad makes a mad dash for the bathroom. He came through in a rush.... no speaking no nothing! Roughly 20 minutes passes and he calls my uncle's house and asked to speak to my Momma..... I'm all loud in the background "WHY IS HE CALLING FROM OUTSIDE?"...... little did I know, this guy is doing a buck-10 in the fast lane southbound on 77! So I ask my Mom what's up ....and she gave me the look saying "Daddy had to go...... HAD TO GO!". I proceeded to laugh, then I told her that I would be home later after the "air" calmed down. I make it home and this guy is stretched out on the bed wearing nothing but a blank stare and his draws! He was telling me the "I thought that I wasn't going to make it to the bathroom story"........ and I laughed! I also took the initiative to let him know that the house was STANK and he should have sprayed! Even though this guy was throwing a "mute bitch-fit" in my direction, I still got him some Imodium A-D, H2O and Ginger Ale. Jon to the rescue! He was up and kicking in no time!
OK people..... we all have good days and bad days with our loved ones.... sometimes you'll agree, other times you'll agree to disagree.... take the good with the bad, because at the end of the day they'll be right there when you need them to be! I love my Pops and his variety pack of mood swings and I am THANKFUL for him! Happy Thanksgiving people! Peace!
And Daddy.... if you some how manage to read this.... it's all in good fun....love ya man!
RIP: To every under garment that Daddy was wearing "pre-explosion" November 21, 2007.... you'll be missed.
