Erin will love this...no, Dad will love it more...

Okay, while we're all waiting for Dad's annual post about the big road trip, here's something for ya. About a week ago, I had the MOST hilarious dream!! Seriously, I woke up laughing. Here it is: Aislinn and Erin and I were over at Evan Wilder's house for dinner. We were younger than we are now, and Erin was running around in her underwear first, and then all of a sudden had a pair of tights on. The tights were really saggy and wrinkly, like elephant legs, so Aislinn looks disapprovingly at her and says, "Fiona doesn't even wear those anymore!" (Thanks, A.) In my dream, I thought, "I don't remember EVER wearing those..." Then Mom and Dad come in, carrying some stuff for the dinner. Mom takes one look at Erin in those tights and says, in that voice she uses in those um...rare moments when Dad does something silly, "David, why in the world did you give her your tights?" And Dad, in the voice he uses when Mom uses HER voice, wearily says, "I didn't give them to her, she must have gotten them out of my drawer."

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Okay, it's not as funny written down as if you were THERE, but still... I couldn't stop laughing!! I woke up at about 4-ish just cracking up, and then poor Z woke up and I told it to him, but he didn't think it was quite as funny as I did for some reason...I think he was kinda tired. I just could not stop laughing. It was great. I tried to find a picture of either Erin or Dad in baggy tights to illustrate this post somewhat, but amazingly, there are none. At least in my possession...

What movie is it that has the statement "real men wear tights", I think it was a Robin Hood take off. Erin must have thought the tights were fashionable. If they weren't green, they weren't mine.

Love, Dad

Lol, Hahahaah! That is pretty funny! I would however like to take this opportunity to point out that this did Not Actually Happen.

Of course they were green Dad, with your favorite pretty lace at the knee and glittery pom poms at the toes...:0)
