Best Email Ever

On September 12, the Buckeyes take on USC. Now, while I am a fan of Buckeye Football, my sister and Jerry are FANS of it. So the OSU/USC is a big deal, right?

Jerry invited Mindy over to our house and was a planning an evening of football, grilling, beer, and fire.

Unfortunately, September 12 is also the day that my parents leave for Atlantic city. Since they will leave EARLY in the morning and Mindy is working, I am running by the house to let the dogs out and what not and Mindy will watch them later in the day. Therefore, any OSU/USC party at my house has been cancelled.

After all of this was figured out, Mindy and I asked if Jerry could just come over to mom and dad's and we three could watch the game in their newly finished basement. Mom said no! But with good reason...

Quick Backstory...

A long, long time ago in a far away land known as West Chester, my parents decided to finish their basement. My mother also decided that she was going to rip up all the carpet upstairs, get hardwood floors, and redecorate. To that effect she called 1-800-Got Junk and gave them her family room couch. Since then there has been no area in their house to really entertain. They did get bar stools and recliners for the basement, but it is otherwise pretty bare in the house right now. (They did recently order more furniture for the basement that won't be in for a few weeks)I would go so far as to say that the house is torn up and probably won't be put back together until closer to the holidays.

Getting back to the point...

My mother said absolutely no "parties" because the house is in dis-repair. Today my father sent my sister the following e-mail:

Mindy,

I hope you are going to have Jerry and Gina over for the football game on
9/12. I know mom said no one because the house is messy, but Jerry and Gina have
been there before and know the house. Lets not tell mom, and remember to put the
house back the way you found it and she won't know.
