We all went with the boys for them to try on tuxedos for Randy and Ashley's wedding. We had to drive out somewhere, I think it was San Bernandino, and we thought we'd make a fun day of it and go out to lunch.
Everyone was looking forward to going out to eat and Mason and Shawn and Randy and Pops had already talked about where they wanted to go. Seafood Buffet? Steak and ribs? Hard choices.
We were standing around together wrapping up the tuxedo details when Mom pipes in sweetly- "There's this new place around here close that I've been REALLY wanting to go to. It's called....let's see, it's something like Puff and Fluff? Fluffy Puffs? Puff and Stuff? Something like that."
The boys looked at her like she was crazy. She went on, "Its all decorated in pink and they bring you your meal in parts on little plates with doilies and they have all sorts of little pretty puffy things." She went on and on. The boys said NO WAY but she gently pressed about how much she had her hopes up that they would go to this place.
Mason and Shawn's facial expressions were priceless. Totally disgusted. Mason said, after 2 or 3 minutes, "Okay Mom, if that's where you want to go." Shawn agreed, but they looked totally depressed. It's Mom after all, and her boys would do anything for her, even eat puffy pink things instead of king crab legs.
Then mom burst out laughing. Glenna and I were busting up too because somewhere along the line she had secretly winked at us. The boys figured out that it was a big joke and Mom admitted there was no Puff and Stuff. We went to South Seas and everyone lived happily ever after.
You are crazy, Mom. I love you.
That is Awesome! :)
