Pool Party 2Day!
Yeah, I was gonna give this post a title that had something 2 do w/4-Evah not being "ovah" but I cdn't bring myself 2, not when I've got a pool party 2 look forward 2! NEway, after I stopped by Gramps's place last week, Ger, Dunc, & I decided 2 start practicing again. Gramps is so gonna think this was all cuz of his "good enough" talk, but it's not. I was already starting 2 come out of my funk on my own, & when it looked like Gramps was gonna go on 4 days & days about "good enough" I decided that was as good a time as NE. Gah, I mean one conversation can seem 2 go on 4 a month in my world! I stopped by my dad's practice 2 make sure it was OK 2 practice @ Ger's, & when I left, he was hangin' out w/ Dr. "Morsel". I have a feeling my dad musta made some lame "Patterson" comment 2 Morsel after I left, but I guess I don't care. . . .
Well, Becks's party starts in three hours. Whooooooooo! I'm gonna wear that bikini I didn't get a chance to wear this summer, & I'm bringing my guitar cuz Becky wants us 2 have a sing-along. Ger changed his mind from yesterday, when he said he wasn't gonna go. He talked 2 his doc again & promised he'd sit in a lounge chair & take it EZ, & the doc said OK. Since Ger's nervous about his privates, tho, he sez he's gonna wear a cup!
L8r, peeps!

Becky,
I see that my man Howard is going to your pool party today. Since Howard is now my boyfriend, I would like to meet his friends. I hope you don’t mind if I come along with Howard to your party.

Becky,
I just woke up. Rhetta Blum is here wearing a bikini under a swim dress and she swears that you invited her to the pool party. I would rather her not be there. Did you invite her? I am going to get dressed while I wait for your answer. I am pretty fuzzy on what happened to me last night, but I can tell you that I am going to empathize with Gerald today.

Becky,
I haven't heard from you, so I am going to have to assume that you did invite Rhetta. We are heading over now. Rhetta is pretty upset that I am wearing my yellow polka dot bikini, but that doesn't matter because I think I look great. I've got the steaks and I'll see you in a few minutes.
Toodles,

April,
They let me post to you from the hospital to give you the latest information. Jeremy got 6 stitches from where Mrs. McGuire hit him with that pool chair, but he seems to be all right otherwise. Mrs. McGuire seems to have recovered from taking all that pool water into her lungs, at least judging from the volume of her yelling at Becky. Rhetta and I are going to drive Becky and her mother home and then drop off Jeremy at his house. We never heard from Jeremy’s mom. Were you able to contact her?
Also, please tell Gerald I am really, really, really sorry about what happened with that spatula. It was an accident, I swear.

i did finally get ahold of jeremy's mom, & she was all "april patterson, i don't know why jeremy endz up in the hospital every time he rubs shoulders with u!" & she didn't even let me x-plain, she just hung up!
what a scene 2day! 1st there's rhetta hanging all ov. u like a cheap suit, ev. tho u had that 'kini on. mrs. mcguire all, "well, 2 bad that tongue thing didn't work" & rhetta all "don't let the bathing suit fool ya, he's my bf now" & mrs. mcg. going all crazee, trying 2 hit rhetta with that chair but missing & hitting jeremy! & becky pushing her ma in2 the pool.
oh, & i think ger knows that when u saw the chair up in the air & flung the spatula, it was an accident. ev. tho it landed in his crotch, he didn't feel it cuz of the cup he was wearing. he just got freaked out since he's x-tra worried about his "area" l8ly.
ne-way, this is the 1st chance i've gotten 2 get online since all this has happed. after i talked 2 jeremy's mom, my ma made me bake some banana crackers fr. a recipe she found online. "april, u mite as well make yrself useful 2day!"
dunc, oh, no! y oh y does my mom wanna shop w/me?!?!

April,
Rhetta and I dropped off Jeremy a few minutes ago. His mother was pretty angry and was looking all around the car for you for some reason. I told her that it wasn’t your fault Jeremy got hurt, but she was not inclined to listen. On the way back from the hospital to Becky’s house, we had to separate Becky and her mom because they were fighting so much. Becky’s mom sat in the front while Rhetta drove. Becky and Jeremy sat in the back with me. Becky asked me to close my eyes and turn my head for awhile, and I did. After we dropped off Becky and her mom at Becky’s house, Jeremy was humming and smiling a lot the whole way to his house. His head didn’t seem to be hurting him at all.
I am so glad that I didn’t hurt Gerald with that spatula. The way he was screaming and rolling around on the ground, I was sure I had done some real damage. And April thank you so much for helping me pull Mrs. McGuire out of the pool. You were setting a good example for other people I shall not name, who were just standing around and muttering, “Drown. Drown.”
Have fun shopping with your mom. I know that moms usually have a terrible fashion sense. Just make sure she doesn’t make you wear a t-shirt or tights under a dress. That would be such a fashion faux pas. You have a nice figure and you should show it off.
I must apologize for Rhetta’s behaviour at the party. I told her all afternoon that she is not my girlfriend, but she doesn’t seem to believe me. We are back at my place now. She wants to spend the night tonight and I told her no. For some reason, that didn’t seem to bother her. She said she has some legal paperwork from her being my surety, that she wants me to sign and seal. I told her that I would do that, but then after that she has to leave. Don’t worry. I plan to read that paperwork very carefully to make sure that there are no “boyfriend” clauses in it. I will post to you after I am done with that.
Toodles,

my mom gorged herself on those banana crackers i had 2 make 4 her. i didn't even get 2 have 1. neither did dad, tho he stood there w/a sad look on his face while my mom gobbled them in front of him. when he tried 2 reach 4 some, she was all "get april 2 make u yr own, tooth man!" i'm def. not gonna let her make me wear a t-shirt & tites under a dress again. that was so lame, & i won't put up w/it now that i'm a hi-school kid!
jeremy's mom just gets all twitchy whenever ne1 mentions my name. i think if i cured cancer, she'd b like, "well, i'm sure it was april patterson's fault that there was cancer in the 1st place!"
i cdn't understand y rhetta was saying that abt mrs. mcg. drowning. mayB she sees her as competition 4 yr affections?
gerald. well, he rolls around like that if some1 even mentions a groin injury. he's just freaked.
becks, did u & jeremy smooch in the car?

April,
Your mom’s food consumption shocks me. I remember when she ate all that borscht I made. You may have lost the banana cracker battle, but be sure to stick up for yourself with the clothes. Show your mom and dad you are a true turbulent teenager. I just remembered that I forgot to take those Grand Canyon pictures you brought to the party. Oh well, at least you taught me some of the basics of Bridge.
You are probably right that Rhetta may have been thinking Mrs. McGuire was some sort of competition for my affections, but I don’t think Mrs. McGuire was her only target. Remember how she was when you and Gerald, Becky and Jeremy were doing chicken fights in the swimming pool versus Rhetta and me? Considering how Becky feels about Rhetta, that was probably not the best choice of games.
I finished signing the legal papers for Rhetta and sealing them in an envelope. It looked like standard legal surety stuff. I did not see anything suspicious in the paperwork. I will have to talk to Rhetta about her choice in envelopes though. The lick and seal adhesive on that envelope tasted awful, worse than I have ever tasted. Rhetta is still here talking on her cell phone. She promises to leave after she finishes the call, but she has been talking for a long time. That adhesive has upset my stomach and I am feeling a little woozy. I think I am going to take some stomach medicine and lie down now.

Dear friend Rebecca,
Thank you so much for inviting me to your swell party. It was the most exciting and most unusual party I have ever been to. Though my doctor says that I will have to avoid such parties in the future for health reasons, I am very happy that I had the opportunity to attend this one. I especially enjoyed the girlfights. Also, I have never seen so much blood before. Especially not at a party.
Sincerely yours, Gerald

hey, becks, u remember everything so much better'n i did when i posted. w/mrs. jones yellin' @ me & my mom making me bake stuff, i'd barely had a chance 2 sit down & think abt everything that had happened.
ne-way, i didn't wanna help rhetta after the way she'd acted. but howard sed 2 me, "april, i don't know what'll happen 2 me if my surety is arrested! if there's nething u cd do 2 help, i wd b so grateful!" so i sed that patterson stuff.
ger, yr doc is a super-perv & he shd be in jail! i don't know how he can ev. have a licence!
ne-way, i've gotta go cuz my ma's on the other side of the door yellin' something abt recipes i have 2 try 2morrow.

My munificent, mellifluous little marigold,
I like Dr. Schlanger. I sometimes feel that he is the only person who truly understands me.
Sincerely and devotedly your fiance forever and ever (until we get married, when I will be your husband), Gerald

My delicious little muffin,
I do not think it will be possible for me to dismiss Dr. Schlanger as my personal urologist. There is only one urologist at the Milborough hospital. Apparently most of the men in town have no need for a doctor specializing in the manly bits, as most of the men in town are impotent and none of the women desire sex anyway.*
Do not worry my love, for I will probably not require his services for much longer. My "friend" is nearly healed.
Burning with passion and love for you for eternity, Gerald
*Except for Becky and her mom. Oh, and Dr. Schlanger says that Mrs. Poirier was quite the easy lay back in the day.
