OK…Porter has mastered the art of the perfect Mai Tai! Just thought I would share that. He fell in love with them when he and Wendy went to Hawaii a few years ago. Normally he is not a sweet/fruity drink maker, put these have great memories associated with them and they so go with Summer. I’ve had a few of them this trip, to say the least! LOL! I don’t normally drink, but it’s been kind of enjoyable with last week.
As for the Cherry pies…well, Porter is a cherry pie afficianado! Granted, nothing compares to Mom’s cherry pie, but even a bad store bought cherry pie has some redeeming qualities. And like alcohol, I don’t get cherry pies very often. I’m not much of a baker, and Brian’s family, specifically his niece, are not real big on cherry pies…so it seems I always get my fill of them when ever I am around Porter. And we just finished our third cherry pie this week. AND, while we were down to the last piece…everyone had had 2 pieces, except my Mom who only had 1 which left one piece left for three of us. So instead of sharing it, my son and brother come up with the idea of battling to the death for it. Yep, you heard me right. They, Porter and David, had the playstation set up and we played some hand-to-hand combat type of game until there was only one of us standing…It was Porter. David pouted!!! David got a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream as a consolation prize and I got NOTHING!!! MEN!!!!
Back to the Mai Tais for a minute. Porter had a few of them last night while we sat and talked…and the last couple of times we’ve been together when he’s had a few, he’s revealed deep dark secrets. Well last nights were a total revelation. Unbeknownst to me, the little hormone driven 14 year old version of Porter had been playing grab ass with some of my girlfriends. I was shocked. He was shocked that I hadn’t known. He said, "You didn’t notice me and Angela disappearing simultaneously those late summer nights sitting out on our grass". Honestly, I hadn’t. Granted, I only had eyes for David Dionne at the time, and was oblivious to everything else!
But what I find so ironic about the whole thing is that my darling little brother would give me such hell whenever he caught David and I kissing and meanwhile the little bugger is in the corner with one of the many other girls on the block feeling them up! When I brought this irony to his attention his response was, "Well, at least I was discreet about it". HUMPH!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m off to get him liquored up again and see what other stories I can pull out of him tonight.
