The Frinklins are on vacation this week, and the Frinklin-in-laws are visiting. Much has been planned, much has not. Today was “play it by ear”. The Missus woke up and called the in-laws.
“They want to take it easy today. Just a barbeque and we can watch the fireworks from the house” she says.
“We don’t own a grill; do they know that?”
“They’re going to buy us one.”
Okay, seriously? This isn’t the first time the Frinklin-in-laws have decided to purchase a big item for the Frinklin House. When we moved in, my father-in-law decided we needed a new lawnmower and about $500 worth of tools beyond that.
Still, a barbeque? Do they realize I’ve never grilled a damned thing in my life?
