So, at about 4 o’clock, two friends of ours came over for the BBQ. They’re this cool couple that my girl and I have known for years. My girl was in the back all afternoon, getting some color. At this point, all of my friends have seen her tits so it was no big deal that she was sunning topless when they got there. Hell, it’s probably the reason why I have any friends to begin with.
After 5, a few more friends came to join us. Two couples and one of my girl’s girlfriends. We were still expecting a few more. Then, at about 6PM, my buddy Eric and his wife came and knocked at the backyard fence. Without thinking, I yelled, “Come on in guys.” So Eric and his wife opened the oak gate and started walking in….and behind him was two fucking tweenagers and a boy who had to be around 9 or 10. My girl, who was completely unaware that anybody was bringing kids, was standing over the cooler, passing her friend a beer with her tits hanging out like nature intended…she saw the kids, covered her tits with her arms and RAN into the fucking house. The kids just stood their with their jaws wide open and my friend Eric and his wife just stood there clueless like they had no idea what was going on.
It turned out that they brought over their niece and two nephews seeing how we’re going to light off fireworks later on….only they never even thought to mention it before they stopped by. Now my girl wouldn’t leave the house and come outside and I had to figure out a polite way to see that the kids didn’t stick around.
My buddy Eric fed the kids some hot dogs and sodas and then brought the kids back to their parents until about an hour ago when they came off to check out the fireworks that we were lighting off. They all live about two blocks away, so it was no big deal. The youngest of the boys kept staring at my girl in awe…she, now wearing a zip-up hoodie and ugly Capri pants that I hate, however, never looked so uncomfortable. It’ll be a funny story when we look back on it, but it really did put a hamper on the night.
Still, it’s been a cool 4th. Even if we often forget just what we’re celebrating, it’s always something that all us Yanks can look forward to and be proud of. And if you disagree, you’re worse than the bloody Tories.
Anybody else have a cool or interesting night?
