Soon to be Gramps

Dad is very excited to be a grandpa and has already started preparing for Stromboli to be born in December. While he and Mom were visiting Sister and The BIL they stumbled upon an estate sale. When they got home all Mom could talk about was this suit that Dad bought. She kept bringing it up saying things like, "He thinks it is really great but I told him he should try it on to show you guys and get your opinion on it." Sister and The BIL were having visions of something plaid and awful because Mom was being so insistent that Dad get their opinions on it.


After dinner they were all sitting on the patio and Dad went inside to try on the much discussed but not yet seen suit. He came out saying, "Ho ho ho," with Mom's black purse slung over his shoulder filled with awesome gifts like an electric cord for The BIL. It took at least 10 beats of staring blankly for Sister to fully absorb what was happening.
And then the next day Dad went out and bought himself a car. Something having to do with the warranty on his expiring soon. Riiiight. Now do you see where I get my often absurd logic?
