at 9:43 AMIs That A Rolls Royce?
So... how long does it take to establish Missouri residency? This I intend to find out before the end of the day.
Chandler's mother offered to whisk Mr. Ed away this afternoon to Chandler's grandpa's house in Brenham for some pre-Easter function. This meant Eddie had to take a bath and put on clean clothes, which took awhile. The kid forgot to scrub his neck. He always looks like a little waif. When we went out to eat at Jason's Deli Friday night, I noticed a remarkable growth of crusty stuff under Eddie's left eye. He said it had been there for three days! The kid just never bothered wiping it off. Oi weh...
The Father bought a tuxedo (for the very first time in his entire lifespan) and managed to burn the shirt sleeve with starch. He purchased squeaky-clean, shiny shoes to complete the cute little outfit and proceeded to slide across the kitchen floor in them. He's a big man, so I expected the velocity to carry him straight into the wall, possibly breaking his nose (at which point I would have laughed mockingly). Then, of course, he drove his truck to this gala event (his ticket cost his company $3,000), not bothering to clean it beforehand (in Texas, one gets away with this easily). Whilst at dinner, The Father and his table were told by another guest that they were being "obnoxious" and "loud" during some architect guy's speech. Sometimes I wonder whether The Father is forty-five or fifteen.
