C.: Hey, d.c., I just found the house key. I was afraid that I would leave something and need to go back into the house before I left. I was going to put it back, but my ride-share got to the house a little early. I was rushing around trying to get things in order and forgot to put it back in its usual place. Do you want me to “overnight” it to you? That is the best I can do, since I am leaving for Sunflower County in Mississippi first thing tomorrow morning.
D.: No, Cal.E., that will not be necessary. Your dad always leaves one window unlocked in one of the bedrooms, and I know the code for the alarm system. I jumped the fence, since it was locked, and got into the house that way. I am going to keep a close eye on Buddy Bones for a while, though. He must have eaten everything you gave him to eat. There is not a scrap of any of his food in the house.
C.: (I KNEW I forgot to do something!). d.c., I was just joking. Buddy Bones will be okay. I did not feed him chocolate or grapes or chocolate covered raisins.
d.: Just the same, I will keep an eye on him until I am through watching the basketball game from last night, just to make sure he is alright.
C.: Didn’t you watch the game live last night?
d.: No, I had to help Eudora. I filled up her car with gas, changed the oil, and washed it. Then I vacuumed the interior and put air freshener in it. I was too tired to watch the game after doing that. I like to watch sports on recordings anyway. I can save time that way. Eudora says that it will save even MORE time if she erases the recordings BEFORE I watch them. That is why she erased last night’s game.
C.: I thought that your wife was a big fan of basketball, why did she erase the game you recorded?
d.: She said that she was going to a friend’s house to watch it. That is why she wanted all that stuff done to her car. I suppose they were going out to eat or something first, and she wants to use her car to go to the restaurant.
C.: I can guess who that friend is. d.c., you DO know that “Butch” is not a woman, don’t you?
d.: I KNOW that, but I can get some peace and quiet with her out of the house. She was having a bridge party while I was taking care of her car. Those women are loud! At least a man would be quieter!
C.: O-KAY! I am glad that Dad recorded the game. It is convenient for you that you can watch it at my mom and dad’s house today. I hope you have not read the newspaper yet. It would not be possible to enjoy the game if you did.
d.: I have not read the newspaper, but I know who won the game. Eudora called me from Butch’s house to let me know she was going to be late coming home last night. She did not want me to wait up for her or to be too worried. Butch was screaming the score of the game in the background…Maybe ALL men are not quiet.
C.: I must pack for my trip to Parchman tomorrow, so I will let you go now. Just think about this conversation, please, d.c. You may want to hire a lawyer after you do. I know a good divorce lawyer if you decide you need one.
d.: Divorce lawyer? Why would I need one of those?
