Yard Boy Honors A Bet

100_2462

It was a typical Friday night at Nandos . . . great food, two Margaritas,

until Dee loses her phone.

After much searching and literally tearing the booth apart, the phone is no where to be found.  Yard Boy tells Dee that her phone is at home, and Dee says No No she just had it.  This is where Yard Boy’s evening goes wrong.  He bets Dee that she left her phone at home, and if he is wrong, he will mow her lawn.

Dee shakes on it.

Guess what happens next.  We no sooner leave the restaurant when the hostess comes running out

With Dee’s Phone.

Flash forward to Saturday morning:

100_2464Such a good sport.

Picnik collage It’s just blues skies for Dee today.

Picnik collage3 Yep, just a lazy Saturday morning.

100_2470 Moral of the story:

Never make a bet with Dee unless she’s had three Margaritas.

I love a man who keeps his word and I congratulate a woman who makes him keep his word. Let this be a lesson to all. Men are always wrong. Yard boy is handsome and kind though, so he is on my favorite list.

Bella Sinclair said...

Hahahaha! Oh, you people are so fun. And MRS. Yard Boy was ever so dutiful to document the event so that it may live forever in blogosphere history. HAHAHA!

Yard Boy is honorable and keeps his word, and I'm betting he makes a mean margarita! :) I would love to bet with him, because we have 6 acres to mow - hahah!

Good morning!How is everybody especially the Honorable Yard Boy? And how is Mrs. Yard Boy? Hope the sun is shining brightly on your lovely home. I am home today, staying put in da house, resting.

Oooh! I forgot to tell you. Last night The Viking came in to the bedroom huffing and puffing mad because he could not find his cell phone. I told him he may have dropped it at the neighbors during the Super Bowl game. NO! NO! NO! He said he never does that. Yeah right! He asked me to call it, no ring in the house. He was getting upset. I told him wait for tomorrow but NO. He woke up our 17 y.o. Former-epsilon I and they called the number from outside our neighbor's and sure enough it was in the carport. So limber young Former-Eps hopped over the gate and retrieved the phone. I should have made a bet!

Smart girl giving her phone to the hostess like that and then making the bet with your hubby.LOL!
What a good sport that lawn boy is and handy too. This inspires me to make a bet with a shovel boy since we are expecting about eight inches of snow in the next two days.
A cute little visitor showed up at my door on saturday. I'll post something in a day or two.
xo-jj

Yikes! I'm afraid to live near you. Do some men simply disappear in your neighborhood? Funny post just the same-from a distance. ~rick

Milo has arrived and made his debut but there is a bit of a problem that involves a lot of white stuff and a little tantrum. Come quick!
