Boys and Girls






Well our Saturday was divided as mom with the girls and dad with the boys. I think the girls went on some sort of boring shopping, hair cutting, nail painting, lunch extravaganza. Whatever it was, it doesn't sound fun. But ohhhhh the fun the boys had with a day of golfing and such. This was the first time we all went out this year. Nick and Jaren have a friend that works at one of the local courses who has been letting them on for free. So after a few trips to the course, they decided it was time take on dad.


Of course they know how to play the regular game of golf but had no idea how to play when it comes to betting. It was laughable the way they didn't know about the rule of thowing a pine cone at the head of your opponent in mid backswing. They caught on quick to the coughing while putting and the snide remarks about ones pants while driving. What surprised me most was that the guy we were playing with seemed to ignorance of this golfing tradition. I am pretty sure the final straw came when we accidently ran over his golf bag while attempting that time proven method of de-pantsing your oppenant while he walks up the fairway. The de-pantsing of Jaren was a success but the others guys clubs now aren't as straight as they used to be.


He then proceeded to yell and scream at us, which became shreiking as all three of us then tried to fake like we only spoke spanish and didn't understand what he was saying. With hindsight it was obvious that he had already heard us speaking English as we mumbled things under our breath the earlier four holes everytime he stepped up to his ball.


I don't know about him, but the three of us had a wonderful time. Both boys played well and now have some tactics they want to try out the next time grandpa comes to visit. I just hope he brings a strudy belt to hold his pants up and a face mask to protect himself from sharp pine cones.
