Infamous bowling alley party
[QUOTE=RomoLampkin;5243962]One of my favorite hobby stories.
At the now infamous bowling alley party, I got there a bit late, and was making the rounds to see who all was there, say hi to friends, etc. Shannon spotted me, and ran over to give me a hug and chat for a bit since she and I got along really well. I remember the ladies were trying to wear business clothes to look legit, and Shannon was wearing some horribly out of date outfit that would have worked well for wardrobe in an early L. A. Law episode.
So we are chatting for a bit, and then. In walks Mandy. She beelines over to me and Shannon while wearing some equally bad business attire, and gives Shannon a hug. Shannon says, "Mom, this is a good friend of mine, Romo. " She looks at me and asks if we have met. I replied, "No" in a tone trying to convey the idea that meeting her Mom never crossed my mind. Shannon then basically squeals, "Oh Mom, you have definitely got to try him out. He is a lot of fun!" and then immediately goes to talk to someone else.
And I am left standing there with the head of the Mandy Clan, who is eyeing me like I am a drinking fountain in the middle of the desert.
Cue awkward silence on my part.
And then I quickly excuse myself and get lost in a crowd.
I turned to look back for a second, and Mandy was still staring at me.
I realize it is the hobby and all that, but having someone recommend me to their mother is still just bizarre.[/QUOTE]Those were the days!! That bowling alley is gone and they have almost finished building a huge grow facility.
