Okay, I need to preface this story by saying I wrote it a few days ago but didn't post it because I can already imagine the comments and e mails I will receive from my brother especially. So let me just say, come on, it's funny. Don't judge, just laugh, we did.....
Marc has been sick for a few days. Nasty head cold. He just keeps on going though. At work every morning at 7:30, not home until 9:30 or 10. Over the weekend he got a little reprieve from going out on Saturday because in addition to his being sick I hurt my foot so we stayed in and rested. So, on New Years he was still sick, he worked though and he can rally with the best of them. We took Saige out to dinner, Chase chose to stay at his friends. After that we went to my friend Lisa's party. It was really fun. Chase was at the party with his buddy Ethan. At around 12:30 Chase came up to me and informed me that today (Jan 1) Marc would be taking him to get him paintball equiptment. I petted his cute little head and brushed it off.
The next morning I left for yoga before Marc was up. On top of being sick he had had a few tequilas and I figured he just needed the sleep. When I got home his car wasn't in the garage. Very confusing seeing he was first of all sick and secondly probably slightly hungover. I called his cell and said, "Where are you?" He said, "Walmart with Chase, he just worked $300 worth of paintball equiptment out of me." I can't even respond to this nonsense, whatever. Anyway, later in the day I went to pick up Chase and Ethan. Ethans dad, our friend Dave said, "Marc's a better dad than me. If Ethan had called me New Years Day and told me I had to buy him paintball equiptment I would have told him no way." At which point Chase chimed in, "Yeah, but he promised me last night. When he was drunk." Nice. Let's hope he didn't share that one at school as to what I did over Christmas break.

This is actually a very meaningful story to me for many reasons, but mostly because I have been considering buying an iPod but felt a twinge guilty because I prefer the most advanced (expensive) version of anything, yet I know nothing about iPodding??? Anyhoo, this kind of solves that problem. It seems that if I time my next visit to Amy's properly then I can obtain the most expensive iPod I desire simply by getting Marc liquored up on his favorite hooch and convincing him the next morning that he promised to take me shopping. The whole idea just strikes me as very warm & family-ish, don'tcha think?
If that works I might be going to see Hannah Montana in Atlantic City, or Vegas!! Who knows?
Happy New Year Amy and Marc! I love this story. The honesty and realism of children (my man Chase) is so funny sometimes! I concur with your brother that I may have to manipulate Mark in an inebriated moment for some type of gift or reward. (Im thinking with Long Island Ice Teas?) If he doesnt agree the next day I will have to tell Chase on you! And I imagine his repsonse would be nothing short of making you feel gut wrenching guilt. Hee hee! Love to you all :)
