Wait! I'm the Daughter....

I love a rodeo...and the Brawley Cattle Call is one of the best in the state of California....the horses, the cowboys, wild horse racing....what is not to love??? I mean really.....now add in a bunch of Shriners and the night is complete. I may not have mentioned this, but my family has a long tradition of belonging to the Masonic Organizations, especially the Shrine...so it is not unusual that I would have been in the desert on a November night getting ready to go a rodeo...in fact it has been a fun filled Shrine kind of day....a big parade...a bar-b-que and ice cream social...they even threw a guy in the pool...so you can imagine that I am really looking forward to what kind of trouble these guys could get into.....

"When you have a minute...I would really like to talk to you"...not something I was thinking I would hear at the rodeo...well maybe I was hoping I would hear it....but from a cute cowboy.. :)

Shoot...I say a bit casually..maybe too quickly...I am looking into the sweet face of a Shriner...really where could this be going?

"Well..I know your father just passed away...but I am in love with your mother..and I would like your permission to date her..."

Cute little Shriner say WHAT?????

"I really am deeply in love with your mother...and I would like to date her."

Wait...what does one say to this question? Is there a manual?

Now, while I don't know the answer to those questions...I can give you four points on how to react to this question:
1. DO NOT freak out!!!!!
2. DO NOT laugh uncontrollably
3. DO NOT freak out!!!
4. Be gracious and pick your words carefully...

Ahhhhhh...sure...that would be fine......just have her home by midnight....
