CHAPTER 18
'Joe and I broke up grandma. Remember?'
'Don't be stupid Stephanie. I know you did. Joseph's your sisters date tonight.'
Oh silly me.
Wait a minute, what!
'I'll explain it to you Steph. - she cooks, she cleans, she's a good burg girl.'
Okay. I was with her on that
'He has a house, a job and a fine ass'
Yes, he does.
'What better match could possibly be made'.
And as an after thought she added; 'and the sooner I can get her and her two kids outta here the sooner I get the bathroom back.' She went off into the kitchen mumbling about how four adults two kids and one bathroom just wasn't right
I agreed with her, about the bathroom that is.
Later as I was lying in my thinking position I started to agree with her on the other thing too.
Maybe Grandma was right.
Valerie is everything that I'm not; she does cook, she does clean, and she is a good burg girl.
But she is also an intelligent woman who has just recently found her own independence. She's feisty when she wants to be, and god help the person that gets between her and the sale table. And I know she has those damn Mazur genes that get us into trouble. I think hers are just buried deeper than mine
Joe, who has survived more family dinners than anyone thought was possible. He loves kids and gets along with the girls. They used to love it when he would come over and play with them. And he does have a house, a job and a fine ass.
Maybe the idea wasn't as weird as I first thought.
