The Good Foot
My mom, being who she is, was not about to let her birthday party be a surprise...SO her cousin and I came up with a way to surprise her so at least there was something! Her cousin Tina lives near Indianapolis and decided to come to town for the party. Since the party is Saturday, and Tina and her husband Mark were planning to come in early Friday, they wanted to be able to visit with her for that extra day without 'ruining the party surprise'.
They'd wanted to go to Knuckleheads since they'd heard all about it, and it just happened that Thursday night my friend Q's band, The Good Foot, was playing there. I asked if they could come in Thursday night and it turned out that they could. We beat them there by about 15 minutes, and when they walked in it was hilarious. Mom had no expression whatsoever. She looked past them like they weren't her family. She later said, "I thought, 'That looks like Mark and Tina, but they don't live here'." So that's Angie -1, Mom -0, for those of you keeping score. (:
'Twas a good time.
