"A Thanksgiving..."

MOMENT!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?!

or...

"I bet my thanksgiving was more bizarre than yours..."

This 'Bingo' card could easily be used to grade what a Thanksgiving with my family would normally be like... especially the "Someone Cries" block at the top.  There is an old saying in our family that it just isn't the holidays until someone cries.

I wound up traveling to spend Thanksgiving Day with my son, ~BoyShoes~...  despite the fact that I had started the week prior trying to get things planned, organized... so everyone would know where everyone else was going to be on Thursday, the fact of the matter is that  it still wound up being Thursday before all plans were settled.

Our plans were to visit several restaurants in Oxford... where he lives. Several were planning to have massive quantities of food for employees and friends of employees.  My son calls to tell me that he is heading on towards the restaurant where we will meet.... I get there just about the time my son is walking up... and he has a young lady with him.  He always has women with him... he is a babe magnet... it's astounding.

Anyway... me meet up... introductions are made... and she is reluctant to enter this one particular restaurant.  When I asked her why, she responded with 'the fellow who owns this place was trying to talk me into going home with him last night...'

M'kay... 

She goes in with us... and there is tension between her and the owner for most of the time that we are there... she tells me how uncomfortable he makes her...  she says that she has tried to tell him that she went to her own home alone the previous night... slept in her own bed...  

I'm still not too sure why this is a topic of conversation...

Oh... the food was great... delicious... wonderful...

We eventually head out to another restaurant... for more food... and to watch the Ole Miss/ Miss State football game... Ole Miss is located in Oxford, and the game was being played at State...

So we are eating more... watching the football game... ~BoyShoes~ disappears... just walks off. So his female friend and I are eating... and she says to me...

out of nowhere... out of the clear blue sky... nowhere, mind you...

"I spent the night last night with a fuck buddy..."

Never being one to be lost for words, my comment was something along the line of... "Did you have a good time?"  I mean, I would guess that if one is going to be carnally involved with another, it should be fun... no??

She goes on to tell me how cheap she felt later when she was going home... and again, not being one that is lost for words, I make some comment about the 'walk of shame'...


The she tells me that when she woke up that morning, she was alone... that he was sleeping on the sofa... and that made her feel even more used...

and I'm still thinking...

"WWWHHHHAAAATTTT!?!?!?!?!?"

She asked me how she should interpret that... and I said something along the lines of maybe your snoring was keeping him awake... and then I offered up the possibility that once he was finished, he wanted to sleep... I wasn't being ugly, necessarily...


So... later... I was thinking....  Why was she telling me all of the stuff that she told me today?  She seemed to be into ~BoyShoes~...  and I would think that if I were meeting someone's parent, I would try to make a good impression... not start talking about impromptu hook-ups...

While thinking back through the time line, she told me that the owner of this one restaurant was wanting her to spend the night with him... then she said she spent the night at her place... and then she tells me she spends the night with a fuckbuddy... her words, not mine.

Bizarre.... insanely bizarre... stupidly bizarre...

I mentioned none of this to ~BoyShoes~... not sure how I would broach the topic... I would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts... ideas... or input on what happened...
