Funny anecdote about the different perspectives on a story.

All my life I knew my Dad's telling of the "how they met" story.

And in true guy fashion, it is short, sweet, to the point, hits the memorable bullet points, strategically glosses a few details.

- Friend says:

I met the perfect girl for you, but theres a catch.

Oh yeah, what's that?

She's married.

Oh great. She sounds perfect.

And she is pregnant.

Even better!

Fast forward 2 years, blind date, Yada Yada, happily ever after.
(Still happily married 43ish years later)


----------


Hey mom.... you never told me your side of the story.



Found out:

Dad met that friend working at a (failed) business started by family drunk uncle best known for shooting a kite (held by next door neighbors 5 year old kid) with a shotgun thinking it was a bird

and

up ending a John deer tractor whilst wasted.



Also:


When they met he didn't call for a week, and when he finally took her out it was a triple date with his ex wife's brother.

---------


Best thing about getting old is that relatives stop pretending their lives were perfect and they didn't do stupid young human shit when they were stupid young humans.
 
Random notes


- the baby was me

And

- my dad is the man that raised me and not the cowardly bitch that turned into a drunk and ran away after I was born. Just in case anyone was confused on that point in the story.


That's all. If yall don't care or want to make fun of me or hit me with the "dear diary" - fair play.

Love ya - Jeff

Is the family drunk uncle Johnny Cash? I remember that scene from the movie.
 
My parents were setup by friends, was supposed to be a double date... neither of the other two people turned up. 50 years later, seemed to work out OK.
 
My father paid the local gypsy to tell him who is single in the village. After gypsy got new shoes he showed him the singles in the village or atleast where they live. From then on it was love at first sight as the story usually goes. Mother fell in love with a man 1 foot out of poverty.
 
My father is a bit of playboy, show off guy. Loves dressing well. So he got the peacock thing down. My mom loved how he dresses, it impress very much so. Especially the first impression. And my dad is very witty, charming and funny guy.

He easily can win you over with his social abilities.
 
mine throws literal temper tantr

now that the door is open ask them how they met you?
 
at least you get the truth from him. Mine once called the cops on me for trying to start a lemonade stand without a license and once thew a public temper tantrum because I bought him a Marlboro lighter on his birthday even though he smoked Benson. I must have been about 5 at the time. I was doing my law exams for college a while back and he kicked off a three hour argument about how people are allowed run people down at zebra crossings.

I have heard stories of guys who left something behind on toilet seats and I guess babies happen that way too. Also of course anonymous doners. I also wonder about those blindfold swinger parties. Gotta be a long list
