The Other Side of the DC Trip

Here's the promised follow-up to UJ Goes to Washington DC

According to UJ....

TimL only provided 2 beers for him to drink. And UJ had to ASK for the second one.

Tim would not let his father have second helpings of pasta at his place. Tim put the leftovers in two neat little bowls and set them aside for his lunch during the week. Instead he offered him a "small salad".

Without question Tim can be insufferable, but having to spend a weekend at his place sober AND hungry? That is rough.

So after a mere 30+ years of selfless parenting, braces, family vacations, mortgages for his education and whatnot UJ is still on a BYOB and BWOF standing at his son's place.

Dad, you might want to remove Tim as your medical power of attorney. (Just a thought).

But fear not, this weekend did see some progress.

During the last visit to Tim's place, UJ was not allowed to self-serve the parmesan cheese. Tim violently insisted on regulating the cheese. But this weekend, Tim broke down and left the cheese on the table for unbridled personal distribution.

Tim was a wonderful and gracious host, spending time with us and suffering through the crowds so his mother could see the cherry blossoms. Any other slant put on this trip was totally inaccurate. Thank-you Tim we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with you.

Who could have raised such an ungrateful wretch?

I blame the parents.
