Jailbird pic

Well, Liz posted a comment yesterday abt how she heard thru the grapevine that Mom's nite @ the "cop motel" wasn't cuz she'd been sleeping @ the side of the road, but cuz she'd been weaving around on the road like a stinkin' drunk. Well, this a.m. she was continuing her story abt all this, saying how they did a joke pic of her behind bars & all 2 e-mail 2 Dad, but he was looking at her all, hm, I dunno-like.

And gah, I really don't even want 2 talk abt that so-called d8 last nite that got all ruined (again) this time cuz not only my 'rents, but Gpa Jim, Iris, and Gerald's 'rents all felt the need 2 tag along. Sure, they let us sit in front while they sat in back, but that didn't stop 'em from ruining it. But y'know, I don't ev. want 2 talk abt that rite now, other than 2 say I'm thinking hard abt running away 2 live w/Unk Phil & Auntie Georgia in Montreal. & changing my name 2 Avril.

l8r,

"Avril"

    april, u r not the only 1 whose fri nite was ruined. dunc came by 2 take me out 2 c "four brothers" but, like, 2 minutes after he got there, his mom showed up, grabbed him by the ear, and sed "duncan anderson, u r not going ne-where with that little slut kimmi lasalle!" an' she dragged him away like that while my mom came out from b-hind me an' yelled "no1 calls my kimmi a slut! she only tried 2 impress yr little mack daddy!"

    an' the principal won't even give me my lipstix back!

    Avril,

    A name change can be a good thing to try every now and again. There was a long time when I went by my middle name, in order to avoid association with my past.

    I think I have seen that picture of your mother you described on the internet, except some people had put some humorous captions underneath it. If you google for "navet-nose in the clink", I think you can find the website. The one I remember was "Lock me up before I lecture again!" Check it out.

    I am disappointed that you are not going to let us know what happened on your date. Maybe Gerald is more inclined to talk. Gerald?

    Toodles,

    Avril,

    I am looking forward to hearing whatever you or Gerald may post about last night. It would be helpful to me in preparing for Becky's and my dinner at Gerald's house tomorrow night. Does Gerald have any siblings, that might like a small gift or present?

    Also, I am really interested in hearing how things go at the Sam Driver party today. I want to know if Judge Parker shows up. He does not appear in public very often since he got married. I am curious as to whether the rumours are true that he and Sam Driver look just like twins except with different hair color.

    Did you check out the website with your mother's picture? Were there any captions you liked?

    Toodles,
    Howard Kelpfroth

    ger's massaging my feet while i write this. he sed, "go ahead & write abt it my little sugarplum, & i shall grace yr readers with my repartée on this matter l8r on." so i sed ok & here goes.

    we were sitting way in front & the parent-grandparent goony squad was way in the back, but we cd hear v. v. loud whispering.

    gramps: y isn't he trying 2 hug her? doesn't he know ne-thing abt courtship?

    dad: if he tries 2 go 2 far, dr. p's giving him an operation!

    dr. f.: i told him d8ing a frigid patterson girl wasn't such a great idea!

    elly: frigid? patterson women r not frigid. we, we, we're discerning.

    iris: what's this abt concerning?

    audience: sshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    iris: shhh yrselves, rude moviegoers.

    i snuggle up 2 ger, but he sorta pulls away & sez "i don't want my dad 2 hurt me."

    me: he won't hurt u 4 snuggling.

    ger: i dunno, i don't trust him.

    gramps: whoo, lk @ that pretty reese witherspoon! but how can she b a ghost? that doesn't make sense.

    elly: it's just a movie, dad.

    john: movies don't need 2 make "cents", just dollars.

    [laughter]

    ppl in front of them: hey, u got spittle on our necks.

    goonysquad: sorry, sorry, pardon, sorry.

    i try 2 hold hands w/ger & he pulls away. "yr dad's fist is very hard!"

    me: he won't hurt u.

    ger: i don't trust him.

    dr. f.: u know, that becky girl is very nice. what a catch. i hear she's been seeing jeremy jones. what a lucky boy he is.

    elly: jeremy jones is the troubled son of a single mother and an absent harmonica-playing father. his absent father makes him lash out. . . .

    dr. f.: but how lucky he is 2 have becky.

    elly: becky mcguire is a spoiled only child. . . .

    dr. f.: who knows how 2 spoil a boyfriend, if what i hear is true.

    elly: i need more popcorn. more popcorn ne1? just me? i'll b rite back.

    mrs. f.: i never eat popcorn. i don't wanna get fat.


    more l8r. . . .

    Avril,

    I am so jealous you get to be at the Sam Driver party. His girlfriend has a lot of money, so I am sure it is really fancy. I am glad that Duncan managed to make it out of bed for the party. Be sure to let me know how it goes.

    Thanks,
    Howard Kelpfroth

    Friend Howard, since my dulcet darling had to depart for yon party, I shall finish regaling you with the tale of our disappointing date to the movies.

    Finally, after my many protests, and at a particularly romantic portion of the movie, my darling April became inspired. She said to me, "My parents think I'm so untrustworthy?! Well, this will give them something to complain about!" and before I knew it, she grabbed me and kissed me. And it was not just any kiss. It was the most passionate, intense kiss of our entire courtship! Her tongue explored portions of my mouth and larynx that I never knew existed! It was exquisite. I was just beginning to give in to her when she took my hand and placed it upon her breast! I jumped back in surprise, but April said to me, "They think we're so bad--let's give them what they want!" I was, of course, only too happy to play along, and we resumed the embraces of our amour.

    It was then that we heard the screaming from the back row. I will try to transcribe their remarks as faithfully as possible; bear in mind that I was most diverted at that time, and may not have remembered them accurately.

    Grandpa Jim: Woohoo! That's it! Whoa momma! Yee-haw! Striking a blow for straight boys all over Milborough!
    Mrs. P: shrieks, intelligible
    Dr. F: Wow! Looks like they're going where no Patterson girl has gone before!
    Dr. P: Well, if that boy tries to explore south of the Romulan border, he's going to go the way of all red-shirted crewmen!
    Dad: Are you threatening my boy? You know, the Patterson fear of normal, healthy sexual relations speaks of a deep-seated conflict between the id and the ego. Perhaps we should schedule a few sessions?
    Iris: Oh my, look what our little April is doing! I suppose she won't be needing that nice gay boy after all!
    Mrs. P: anguished shrieking
    Mom: Honey, be honest--do these pants make me look fat?
    Grandpa Jim: No, it's your ass that makes you look fat!
    Mom: Well, I never!
    Iris: What, you don't find my husband's frank remarks charming and witty?
    Mom: I find him to be very rude!
    Grandpa Jim: Looks like he's sliding into third!
    Mrs. P: faints
    Dr. P: That's it! I'm going down there!
    Dad: Don't! You'll set their psychosexual development back years!
    Mom: Honey, I've made up my mind--I'm having the liposuction!
    Grandpa Jim: Maybe they can suck the fat out of your head while they're at it!
    Mom: My face is fat too?!
    Iris: Hush dear. If they start talking dirty to each other, I want to be able to hear what they say.
    Dr. P: I'm going down there before Gerald goes down there!
    Dad: Relax! He was just reaching for the tub of popcorn!
    Grandpa Jim: Damn my cataracts!
    Dr. P: (to Dad) Get out of my way! I'm going to put a stop to this!
    Dad: No way! My son's balls need relief!
    Dr. P: That's not my daughter's problem!
    Dad: Not her problem?! It's all her fault! Ever since they started going out, Gerald's testicles have been in a terrible state! If April would just put out like that Becky McGuire girl, my son wouldn't be facing a lifetime of genital dysfunction!
    Dr. P: You're right! This is all Becky's fault!

    It was round about then that they all got thrown out of the theater. Of course, we had to leave then too, because they were our ride. On the way home, my parents gave me the silent treatment. April says that her parents did the same thing. All any of them will say is that they're going to take this situation "in hand." I think it sounds like they're going to do something really perverted, but April assures me that they're going to punish us severely as soon as they can think of something bad enough.

    I'm really worried about that dinner tomorrow night.

    Sincerely, your correspondent Gerald

    Gerald,

    Thank you for taking the time from sucking on Avril’s toes to finish her story about your date last night. I’m sorry you did not get to see the end of the movie. Your account was very educational for me. I learned a few discussion topics to stay far away from during the course of dinner tomorrow at your place. By the by, do you have any brothers or sisters? Sometimes little ones appreciate a little gift to make dinner parties go a little better. I want to make a good impression with your dad, so he will agree to be my surety.

    I am sure that you are with Avril, Duncan, and Becky at the Sam Driver party now, and I look forward to hearing your account of that party and seeing you at your dad’s place tomorrow night. Was Avril talking about doing “I'm In The Mood For Love” by James Moody? Becky and I worked on that song the other night, but it has some pretty sophisticated instrumentals. I am quite impressed that you guys can do it.

    By the by, if you google for "navet-nose in the clink", you will find a website with an amusing picture of Avril’s mom and a number of humorous captions to go with it.

    Toodles,
    Howard Kelpfroth

    lol, liz, that is 1 of the funniest storiez i have ever heard. i knew mom was telling us a "pattersonized" version!

    so i just got back fr. that party. that driver guy really knows how 2 have a gd time! yes, howard, that's the song i meant, & u r rite, it's a tough song 2 do. wd u believe dunc did the male vocal? i nev knew he had such a smooth voice. kimmi, u totally have 2 ask dunc 2 sing this song 2 u, it's cube, esp. 4 such an oldie. becky did the girl part, u know, "what is all this talk abt luvving me, my sweet?/i m not afraid/not ne-more/not like b4/don't u understand me?/now baby pls pull yrself 2gether/do it soon/my soul's on fire/come on & take me/i'll be what u make me/my darlin'/my dear."

    that part was hard 4 becky cuz it's in a high register, which isn't what she's comfy w/. but she sez her lesson w/u really helped & she did a faboo job. god, ger had this look on his face during that part, like he mite fall in luv w/her. but she looked @ him & rolled her eyez.

    i cd go on, but becky asked me 2 let her tell the rest. . . .

    apes

    p.s. ger asked me not 2 change my name 2 avril cuz he's really bad @ french!

    April,

    I am glad that the Sam Driver party went well. I wish I could have heard it myself, but I know you guys did great. I don’t know if I can wait for Becky to post the answer to this question. Did you get to meet Judge Parker? Let me know that at least.

    If you can convince Gerald to stay awake in French class instead of doing that other thing he likes to do, then maybe you can change it back to Avril. Avril sounds really cube.

    howard, there was an old guy who i thot mite be judge parker, but when i asked some1, she sed, "oh, no, that's doc davis, mark trail's friend. i herd judge parker is here, but i haven't seen him." & every1 else i talked 2 had sum other story abt where he was, like resting in 1 of the bedrooms, or out 4 a stroll. a diff. story fr. ea person. it was weird.

    apes

     

  • At 9:49 PM, Blogger April Patterson said…

    that was so awesum when u gave us all $200, becks! don't worry, i'm not freaked abt ger starin' @ u. every guy in the place was givin u "the look" when u did that piece. it's just what happens sumtymz with certain songs. when i had that solo u asked me 2 do, i even thot i saw jeremy lookin' @ me like he didn't h8 me, which almost nev. happs!

    yeah, w/the gr'ups talkin' abt u the way they were last nite? i don't know what their damage is, but they obvs. don't know u for real.

    hope 2morrow goes well 4 u.

    p.s. Beckers, dont worry I havent heard ne1 say u r a guardrail.

    p.p.s. Apes, u might want 2 ask Ger 2 meet u @ Horny Tims 2morrow 2 'cos my dad says the choo-choo playdate is off 'cos yr 'rents r babysitting 4 Mike an' Dee.

    Becky,

    I am so proud of my bud doing so well at the Sam Driver party. I knew you would be a hit. We are definitely going to have to do some shopping. I know all about getting the right kind of dress that looks good, shows off your body, but still lets you breathe and move around the stage. If you like, we can go shopping before dinner tomorrow. Let me know.

    I am sorry you didn’t get to meet Judge Parker. He could have given you some leads into some pretty fancy parties. Did you at least get to meet Abby Spencer’s adopted daughters, Neddy and Sophie? They hang with the young, rich crowd and might be able to recommend you to some of their friends, where you wouldn’t have to play as much of the old stuff and maybe more of your own compositions.

    Toodles,
    Howard Kelpfroth

    Becky,

    I have been getting hang up calls for a couple of days now. The caller ID usually says it's Rhetta's number or your mom's number. What does the caller ID say for yours? Hopefully not Rhetta.

    By the by, are we on for shopping before the dinner with Gerald's dad?
