A conversation with my mother
Me: “Hi Mama. I’m excited to come home this weekend for Daddy’s birthday.”
Mama: “Me too. We are going to have so much fun.”
Me: “What time will we be celebrating tomorrow? For lunch or dinner?”
Mama: “Well, you’re Daddy’s going to be blowing up a beaver dam tomorrow night, so dinner’s out.”
[Pregnant pause…]
Me: “What are the odds that a beaver dam crops up in not one but two conversations this week.”
Mama: “Huh?”
Me: “Oh nothing. So…how does one blow up a beaver dam? With dynamite?”
Mama: “No. I think that’s illegal.”
On my honor as a part-time blogger, I pledge to do whatever it takes to fully provide a detailed report on the blowing up of the beaver dam. I promise no beavers will be injured in the process. Just their dams. Here’s hoping I can secure some video. Wish me luck.
Chances are, it would only come in your conversation! I am cracking up in Columbus OH.
If I didn’t have a sick child at home, baseball tryouts all weekend and lacrosse practice, I’d insist you “hire” me as your videographer!
Thanks for the giggle–ok, guffaw, “What are the odds a beaver dam comes up in not one, but two conversations this week!”. Hysterical.
i just love coming here. 2x in 1 week and i get to see the word beaver in print. how does one NOT laugh at that?! beaver. i laughed again. i’m 12! 🙂
Are you from the South?! Sounds like it to me! (A fellow Southern Belle 😉 )
Pregnant pause long enough for the baby to be born and be completely potty trained?
Tell Johnny that I have a good recipe for beaver dam blasting.
I love you AND your family!! Happy Birthday to Dad and good luck with the beaver damn!
Oops! I used the wrong dam. Hehe!! I’m with Jen – Sense of humor of a twelve year-old
How exciting for you! I wonder if Ben knows how to explode a beaver dam….um probably not! HAHA
I hope your weekend was exciting! We went to Brad Paisley concert and got a signed guitar and his hat. The kids were super excited!
Hilarious!! Can’t wait to see video.
Great recap.
(Although I initially thought Kasey said, “bitches”, I watched that part again and rather certain the word was “benches” … )
