Oh scary
Well it finally happened. I was wondering how long it would take before My Girlfriend's Father called me into the yard for a talk. He was sneaky about it too...bastard. He was in the back working the grill when he asked me to come watch the dogs who were getting a lil unruly. I suppose as one is bent over an open flame you don't want fluffy knocking you one in the kiester. Pops flambe is never a hit on the menu. So I'm watching the dogs when one of those uncomfortable silences hit. You know the kind that makes the goose bumps go up and klaxons go off.
"DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!"
Instead of high tailing it I stood there drooling like some window-licker. "I'm not sure how to say this..." This is never a good thing. In the past when I heard this line it was usually accompanied by a throbbing vein and the words get away from my daughter. I understand full well that I'm a filthy sailor and that father's generally don't like me because they know exactly what my intentions are. So now I'm standing in front of the Turkish firing squad awaiting the cue. Then he hit me up with something I never thought would happen. "I'm not going to pretend to know exactly what's going on but I appreciate you standing by my daughter and making her smile like that..." Somebody call the govenor and schedule a parade. I just got thanked for dating someone's daughter. This is not what I was expecting in the slightest. Most I could muster was a dumb grin and a "My pleasure". Thinking back now that wasn't the brightest line. But what do you want when you catch a guy off guard like that.
