Because It Needs To Be Said at Faux Real

Mom, I am not serious about any of this. Except for Mozilla-Pujoles.

Love,
Your Wonderful, If Sarcastic, Daughter

I was hoping you were at LEAST serious about the ringbearer item, because that would be fabulous.

Well, fine then. Will you at least consider dressing Merle and Pablo up like flower girls? Just think about it, is all I’m asking.

Zeke was supposed to be the ring-bearer at our wedding. He balked at walking up the aisle, slipped his collar, and then trotted up to me mid-ceremony all leased with himself.

Niece Allison, our flower child, who had been holding the other end of the leash, was so embarrassed and traumatized that her life spiraled into a morass that ended with her studying Art History at Duke.

PLEASED with himself. Not leased with himself.

I was wondering whether you would bring up that story or whether I’d have to do it myself.

I think Doug-as-ringbearer would work better. At least you could be reasonably sure that he wouldn’t be so enthusiastic about the process as to do what Zeke did. And Ethan wouldn’t be scarred for life.
