... 3 weeks ago, I purchased online tickets for the Monster Jam...
... kids were excited...
... me? I forgot about it...
... sitting at the breakfast table this morning, reading NFL previews in the paper:
wife says "BTW, the tickets for tonight arrived last wednesday"
I say "what tickets?"
wife says " the Monster Jam tickets. The kids are so excited"
I say, "oh, ok... what time it starts?"
wife says " 7:30PM" (this is EST)
... her words take a few seconds to sink in...
...first is denial, then the horrible realization... AAAARRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I loudly cursed something in Spanish - kids don't know Spanish, so it's cool - my oldest turns around and says "yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about..." then turns to his little brother and says "see? Daddy wants to see monster trucks too!!!!" .. his little brother then says "I think Daddy angry"

Oh, well, another Great Moment in Parenthood. Will tape the game amd watch it when I get back from Monster Jam.

'Cause the simple man pays the thrills, the bills and the pills that kill
