The word in Burley

So, the story goes. . .

While I was at the Burley High Boy's Basketball game on Saturday I was visiting with some friends that I haven't seen in quite a while when a mom came to talk to me. We'll just call her "duck-train" mom, for secrecy purposes.

Duck-train mom: "Hi guys!(just a general hello to all present) I actually came to talk to you."(looking directly at me)

Whit: "Me?!"

Duck-train mom: "Yes. My son(duck-train) thinks you're pretty cute and would like to see you some time this break. How long are you going to be here?"

Whit: "I'm actually going back Monday."

Duck-train mom: "Oh good! He'll be here til then too."

Whit: (thinking) "Does she not realize that today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday and I won't be here Monday night? -Whatever."

After she left my dear friend, Kara, asked what that was all about.

Kara: "That's weird for you. You're cousin dated him!"

Whit: "I know!"

So, I ask duck-train's roommate, "Isn't he dating someone?"

Roommate: "Yes. Why? Did she just say what I think she said?"

So, the rest of story goes that I went bowling with the singles in the area for a New Year's Party. I had a lot of fun, talked with some people that I've never really talked to a lot-it was fun.

And then duck-train came.

Small-talked it up with him for maybe a minute. I wasn't about to let the situation actually happen when he asked, "Did my mom talk to you tonight?"

AWKWARD.

But, don't you even worry. I'm about the best at avoiding situations and I didn't even let it happen. I b-lined(?) it outta there and made my was safely home.

Happy New Year to me!
