Tuesday Tale aka All a buzzzzz


Way back in the mid 80's my sis had a 
Second and Last date with her friend's cousin.
When mom told me about it I fell on the floor
MOLing I almost choked on kitty slobber.

Evidently they were going bowling. Mom said my sis was upstairs getting ready.  When she heard the car pull into the driveway, she looked out the window. As the story goes sis bellowed MA HELP...tell him I'm not here.  He looks like a Bumblebee.  He has on a yellow shirt with black trim,  black shorts and yellow and black striped tube socks.  I'm not going out with a Bumblebee.
Mom told me she was biting her tongue as she answered the door in order to keep
from laughing.
Mom here: this is the absolute gospel truth.
It was the most atrocious outfit I've ever seen.  I cannot in my 
wildest dreams imagine why any 18 year old young man would even think to wear it. They were supposed to go bowling then out for pizza.  After bowling, my daughter told him she didn't feel well.  He  brought her home.

  1. Madi your sis did the right thing.... to say bring me home was THE solution.... Do you know what happened with bumble bee? did he find his bee queen and founded his own beehive?

  4. Mom and dad apparently had a similar experience, and now they've been together for more than ten years! Happy rest of your week, neighbor.

  5. We don't blame your sissy one bit Madi. Sounds a little crazy to us. Anyway, you all have a most wonderful day.

  6. Poor sis. What a dweeb to wear such a ridiculous outfit. He probably thought he was the Bee's knee's in it too ! ! !

  8. That reminds me of a story told me by the wife of one of my work colleagues. Apparently they were going on a second date (in Dublin in the 1970s). Wife was on the bus and saw her husband-to-be waiting at the bus stop wearing lime green 'loon pants'. She decided to stay on the bus. But they did eventually get married, and later divorced, although not, I think, because of my colleague's dodgy dress sense.
    Cheers! Gail.

  22. BOL! That reminded us of a date mom had with a fellow she called "dog faced boy" and she doesn't mean it in a good way. She only went once and made him take her out of town so no one would see BOL!
