After a lot of
encouragement my 16 year old nephew finally got the nerve to ask a girl to
Homecoming. But, then he was horrified when she gave him a “verbal” agreement
to go to Homecoming with him, and she would wait for his “special way of asking”
before her official answer.
Now the
pressure really started. The poor kid was a wreck. That’s when his Mom and I
had to join the mission. I am happy to say that after a trip to Home Depot,
Kroger, and an after-dark knock and drop at her front door, the mission was
accomplished…
With the
help of Momo’s muscles the boys delivered a big cinder block with the word “NO”
glued to it, a small paving brick with the word “YES” glued to it, a bouquet of
flowers, and a tub of Rocky Road ice-cream at her door. Attached to the flowers
was a note that read,
“On the path
to Homecoming… Don’t “block” progress. Hoping your answer will “pave” the way…
Bring your
answer to Seminary in the morning."
I received word this morning that she brought the paving brick to him with the word “YES”.
Now for Mum-making lessons. His Homecoming is in 2 weeks!
