so, the in-laws have arrived, and we have survived the first day. actually i jest, it really is great having both my sister in law and my mom in law here (NO i am NOT insane!, just mildly deranged). we only get to see each other every couple of years as they live in strange far gar away places such as "soon to be underwater-land... (california)" and .. "las - you is gonna lose all yer money (vegas)".
the mutant.. normally gregarious and outgoing, was a touch reserved at first.. and then after a quick sizing up of these new strange suckers...er... umm... i mean.. people. at which point he started gablling nonstop, got their attention focused in some other direction, .... and promptly whipped out his mind control gun and nailed em both. and im thinking to myself.... this.... is ... gonna be..... hilarious.
cracker barrel for brkfst.. we get jr grilled cheese and fries (hey... whatever! we go with what works) which.. he flat out ignores and then procedes to beg food off everyone else with the usual results.. mom and i just growl raise our forks threatingly and hiss at him, but apparently the mind control is back in full effect, as his two brand new zombies hand over bits and goodies to him.
-fast forward to WALLY WORLD!
we are here for a couple of last minute fixins needed for moms birthday dinner (crawfish etouffee and stuff) and maybe a bottle of tylenol (nudge nudge, wink wink)
der mutant grabs his slave-beings by the hand and then starts... (i'm not kidding here) giving them a guided tour of the store, all the while heading steadfastly in ONE direction.
LONG
STORY
SHORT
he actually talked BOTH women into each buying him SEPARATE sets of legos...
ya know.... somedays i worry if he will be able to take care of himself as an adult (typical parent worry type thing)
then i see stuff like this.. and realize.. hell noe.. he's all good.
he just tok two normally frugal women and convinced them to empty their pocketbooks.... and holy crap..THEY were smiling afterwards.
he struts away (yes... struts) with a grin on his face and a gleam in his eye that seems to say..
"look out, i'm xavier john and my kung fu is strong.!"
peace
