My first thought is that G-man is being escorted home by a few of Willoughby's finest...
But a quick look in his room tells me that he (and a few friends) are already home from their late night debauchery.
And then the doorbell and the phone and banging on the door resumes...
Ahhh - it is my favorite first-born and his friend AC...
So I scrounge through G-mans drawers (actually baskets - because he claims it is my job to put his clothes away - but I digress) and get the boys some dry clothes....Me: Why are you banging on the door? - come on in...
LDboy: Unlock it...let us in...
Me: Oh its locked - that's strange...yeah, I know it should be, but you know me...
LDBoy: Got any warm-up food???
Me: Why are you two all wet? Where have you been?
AC: Uhhh...swimming in the lake...
LDBoy: And dry clothes?
Me: Say what???
Me: Now spill it...
AC: Your son wanted a cigarette (after 4 weeks of being smoke-free) but me, being the good friend that I am - refused to let him buy any....
LDBoy: He actually paid the gas station attendant not to sell me any...that bitch...I still want a cigarette...
AC: He said he would do anything for a smoke - just name it...So I picked something totally off the wall that I figured he would not attempt...but your son is crazy...
Me: Yeah...he is...all my kids are...they get it from their Dad.
AC:I told him if he could swim out farther in Lake Erie than I could, I would give him a cigarette.
LDBoy: I was already in the car, so we were on the road two minutes later. I know I can swim and am use to cold water; he is use to warm beaches. I should have been good.
AC: Should have gets you nothing...
LDBoy: Yeah, well after I was in the water a couple minutes, I started thinking about what else might be in the water with me besides AC...and so I sort of let him win...
AC: Let me win???? Hey buddy, win this...
Me: Have you two been drinking?
LDBoy: No, ask the cop..
Me: Cop????
AC: He really wanted to arrest us for something...
LDBoy: Wish I coulda read his mind...we have two..uh guys, here just out for a late nite swim we think...
Me: Where were you?
AC: The beach...
Me: What Beach?
LDBoy: In Mentor somewhere...we just put Beach in the Garmin and it took us there...
Me: So, you drove from Akron to Mentor for a 4:30 AM jump in the lake?
LDBoy:The cop said the same thing....
Me: I bet....
AC: I told him we don't have any lakes in Akron.
Thanks for being a friend AC.

Jumping in the lake to win a cigarette always sounds like such a great idea at 4:30 AM. Can't understand why you didn't welcome LDBoy & AC with open arms. At least you didn't have to warm up left-overs for the cops. And I'm sure G-Man was terribly impressed once he woke up and heard all about it. Older siblings are such good role models.
Actually, LDBoy and his friend know they are always welcome - open doors or arms or not...I do enjoy listening to the retellings of their escapades...I get a lil jeaolus that I am not that young and cannot bring myself to be that carefree:)
And yes, G-Man and Carebear have been such "good" role models for G-Man:)
Ahhh to be so young and stupid..I mean carefree again...
Can't wait till my own kids start their escapades..or maybe I can.
OMG, what a hoot!! Guess you aren't lacking for excitement in your household... ;)
