Mom and Dad (Mary and Earl) will be gone for the night so it is time to party. It is known that they will not be home until at least 3:00 am so the party can go till one. That leaves time to clean the house and be gone to other parties before they got home. That was the party plan. The party went on and when the time came, as people left each was given a bag of empty beer cans to take with them. Only a few were left when we cleaned the house. All had gone well. The party was over. And things had gone as planned.
That is..
- if we had planned on Mike Morris getting into a fight and knocking the Christmas tree over.
- if we had planned for Frank to sat in his window and watch all the girls running back and forth to the outhouse.
- if we had planned for someone to steal Joann’s bank
- if we had planned for everyone that took beer cans to dump them only 200 yards from the house.
- if we had planned for Mom to get sick.
Because that is what really happened. Mom (Mary) got sick and she and Dad had come home at about 11:00. Upon seeing all the cars at the house they went to Mike’s and watched it all go on.
All is well that ends well with parents who understand it.
