No Name Lake

Don: Have you seen my cologne?

Kristy: Yes, it’s in the top drawer in your bathroom. 

Don: I looked, and I couldn’t find it. 

Kristy: Does that surprise you when you can’t see a glass of beer sitting on the table in front of you on your left side?

Don: Yeah, kinda. With this many boys in the house, it seems to have disappeared. 

Kristy: I can assure you any males in the house don’t use cologne or have their own. They don’t need yours. 

Don: I should have put some on before I walked around the lake. It was an enjoyable walk. 

That’s a first. Don has referred to the ocean as a golf course, a naval aircraft carrier base, a shopping mall, and the Columbia River, but never a lake. 

The only walking that boy has done of late, without supervision, is from his bedroom to the liquor cabinet. He filled up a tall plastic cup with whiskey, set the cup on the kitchen breakfast bar and left it there. It looked like apple juice, and everyone ignored it for hours. Then I gave it the smell test. The Pendleton Hard Lemonade, concocted by Don, contained too many mysterious ingredients to chance consumption.

Note to Self: The nerve of this guy to waste my whiskey.
