We went down to NC over the Thanksgiving weekend to stay with Myra's oldest daughter and her husband. Myra's other daughter, her boyfriend and her son (
!) were there also.
Okay, fast foreward past thursday, a story in itself, to friday morning. The younger daughter, with boyfriend and son, have gone farther down-state for the day; the older daughter is at work. The son-in-law is at the gym.
So... Myra and I are there alone. We were supposed to be meeting the older daughter and her husband (are you keeping up with who is who? There'll be a test later... ) for lunch in a couple hours. The restaurant was right next to the gym, so nobody thought that we would have to put up with... uh, see anybody until we met them there.
I know this is getting long, but hang in there!! The funny part is coming up!
SO, anyway, when I get out of the shower, I of course don't bother to dress. I go out to the dining room, and find Myra reading at the table. I sit (no towel), and we talk. I'm still there, still naked, about an hour later when... GASP, we hear a key in the door.
Myra told me to stay where I was, but I thought I could make it to the bedroom before anybody got in. Remember now, these people all know what kind of wierdo I am, but they aren't too hip on seeing it for themselves.
The hallway goes right past the head of the entry stairs, and as I go by, there's my step-son-in-law (the Theory of Relativity) right there, about a foot away. Busted!!
I went by with a big smile and "Hey, how ya doin'?" and continued on to the bedroom, where I (finally) got dressed. When I got back out, the SSIL was in the kitchen, and Myra was in the dining room. I asked her what he had said, and she says "nuthin', but his eyes were
THIS BIG ." ang held up both hands, fingers making circles about the size of coffee mugs.
We don't know if he said anything to anybody else, but none of them, including him, ever said one word to either one of us.
Progress? Maybe. A surprise for him? Definately. The look on his face? Priceless.
Later
God Bless
Kevin and Myra
