Tara's sister Kelsey crashed at our place last night. Part of the big Suprise for Tara's Birthday. Part of the plan was to get Tara out of the house from 1 to 3 so her mom, sister, and dad could get the place ready. I asked her about riding bikes for a special birthday brunch about a week early, which let her know something was up. Never found out about it though. Two weeks earlier after a dinner and night of good sushi, sake, Japanes beer, and a night cap back at the Four Seasons, Tara's dad said, "Tara, we'll see you in two weeks for the suprise," when Tara complained of not seeing her father enough.
After we said goodbye to her dad and his girlfriend the questions came.
Tara: Len, what surprise?
Len: Tara really, it's nothing. (Thinking, "Like shit, Tara. I broke out in uncontrollable laughter when your dad said that. What do you think the surprise is.")
Tara: Leeeennn, What is it?
Len: Okay, Tara do you really want to know and ruin the surprise. It's nothing really, just your dad and mom are both coming into town that weekend.
Tara: And Kelsey and Mike, too?
Len: (Thinking, "They didn't fill me in the Kelsey (Tara's sister) and Mike (Kelsey's boyfriend) were coming) Yeah, that too. Pretty sure Kelsey will be able to make it, but they're not sure about Mike yet.
Sold. I think part of the reason Tara took it is because the surprise is that important. There are no early presents. Birthdays and the 4th of July are the tits too Tara. Like a kid. Helps me realize what I've been lucky to find.
