MR

My daughter Brooke txted me last night, as that's the only way we communicate anymore and as usual tells me things at the last minute. She says, "Wish me luck at the rodeo tomorrow." She's does the barrels. I thought well I can go to this one, so I said "I'll do that in person, where and when?" She said "The barrels start at 9, but I probably won't race until 10."

So I got up this morning, took a shower, got dressed and went to see my daughter in the rodeo. It's about a 20 minute drive. When I got to the arena, the place was packed, it was about 8:50. I looked for my daughter or ex-wife, but couldn't find them. I called my daughters phone, but no answer. I figured she was saddling up 'Jet', her horse. I called the ex, no answer. Not surprising. So I just stood around waiting for the gates to open, and I noticed the crowd were a BUNCH of kids, lots of them holding football helmets. I start to get the feeling that something is amiss.

My phone rings and it's Brooke, she said "Did you call?" I said "Yeah, where are you?" She said "In bed." I asked "Weren't you supposed to do the rodeo this morning?" She laughed and said "No, dad, tonight." DOH!

I got home and my wife Debbie was up and asked where I had been, and I told her. She said "Nobody rodeo's in the morning." and laughed.

Information that would have been helpful before I set the damn alarm clock last night!

That is bad But it sounds like something i would do. Hope you get to see her tonight.

When your daughter said "No, dad, tonight." Could you hear her eyes rolling, lol?

My Niece rarely says anything without rolling her eyes anymore. Adults are so embarrassing and clueless….

not AM....

(don't forget the loud "sigh" - it has to sound like they are trying to blow up an airplane tire)

Hahahahaha.....sorry Rick but you men are all alike when it comes to getting details or
directions, you think your testosterone will lead you to the place you need to be.
Thanks for sharing your stupidliness with us Lot, I mean that in the nicest possible way Sir.

Yes, you are a bonehead!

I'm having flashbacks to "Dumb and Dumber" I LOVE that movie!!!!!

Loud and clear. I could also tell that she had just woken up, and I stayed up half the night working on a project and got about 3 hours sleep.

Ms. Moon....gotta say ~ I LOVE your vocabulary!!

I think she is lucky she has a Daddy that cares enough to show up. And I guess it could have been worse if it had been this morning and you showed up tonight.

Here here and Amen well worded one.



By the way.......thank you Nora, can't take credit for that made up
word in prior post though, it belongs to my 15 yr old cousin who is also the God-Father
of my youngest Son.

Why so late? Are horses prone to sleep-in or something? Perhaps they had a late night? I would of done the same (AM.).

So Rick, how did the rodeo go last night???
