Mom requires much fact-based and sincerely told anecdotal evidence of the benefits of taking fiber in the form of psyllium husks today. We find out later she has called Dr. T her GP and asked him about it and he advises her not to because it can "bulk up." Without going into further details, he's half right, but our argument is persuasive enough that mom goes with our recommendation. Fortunately for mom, we're all-the-way right and her daily progress continues apace. Yay!
Sister A puts the car on auto-pilot to make her favorite run to the Commissary and PX while B-i-l V and I work at moving stuff off the garage floor next to the wall so that, come Monday, the cement guy can do a 2nd pour of filler for our unsealed mini-moat. We start to pull up a 2x4 to better examine what's down there and decide to leave it as creepy crawlies are disturbed and begin to scuttle away. Ugh. Let's give them some cement overcoats and entomb them forever as part of our Master Flood Control plan. Sleep with the fishes you little buggers.
Sis C arrives later in the day with Little E, Nephew D and dad's belated birthday gift, yes, the new Enter-tech ET3000 karaoke system. Sister A arrives after hours of shopping, I pull my world-famous bbq ribs out of the oven and we're ready to celebrate our December birthdays and sing the night away. Mom comes down to munch and assist dad with staying in whatever key he picks to start a song. Dad declares the present to be the best ever.
Niece Little E turns out (after getting over some understandable self-consciousness) to be the only one in the family who can sing a song beginning to end on key and with proper phrasing. My Sweetheart Big E, the current Karaoke Revolution Platinum album record holder, will be thrilled to know we have a budding songster in the family.
Move over, Miley Ray Cyrus.
