Yesterday I went out to the garden to plant the last few rows of onions and I thought to myself, why not call my mom to catch up while I work? I have bluetooth earbuds and I figured if I'm having a one sided conversation people will probably realize that I'm on the phone and won't think I'm crazy.
My mom then proceeds to tell me stories about their trip to visit one of her brothers and it's like National Lampoon's Vacation with them staying as guests in the camper out back, with "sewer system" that is nothing more than a hole they dug into the ground, saxophone concerts given by my uncle while the dogs (a Saint Bernard on trazodone and a dachshund) are howling to the stray kitten someone randomly found and decided to keep in the camper, with the guests.
There's more stories but regardless, what was supposed to be a chat ended up with me planting onions while laughing hysterically as she recalled all the incredible things that happened. I finally look up and the neighbors to one side are out on their patio relaxing. Hopefully my garden cackles didn't disrupt or disturb them. >.>
