That's my Momma. It's easy to be a
good son when you got a Momma like that. No matter what I do she still love's me. Once
upon a time when I was 15 years old me and a buddy of mine decided we were gonna go down
to the beach and spend the night. We knew if we told our parents we wanted to do that they
would never let us so we decided that each of us would tell our parents we were going to
spend the night at the other one's house.

Our parents didn't know each other
and we both knew our parents trusted us so we knew we would get away with it. What we
didn't know was that it gets COLD at the beach at night. We hadn't planned this very well
and the beach we ended up at was vacant. No girls, no beer, no blankets. Just two guys in
trench coats trying to stay warm. We ended up climbing into a big trash dumpster to keep
from freezing to death. Lucky for us no one else knew what we were doing so we didn't have
to tell anybody how it worked out or even that we did it. I don't think my buddy ever did
tell anybody but I'm not quite as smart as him. About a week after our adventure I was
sitting in the living room watching TV and my Momma asked "What's Danny's mother
like?". "I don't know," I said, "I never met her." Like I said, I
wasn't too bright. I told her the truth. My Momma didn't get upset though, she just said
"Well, I wish you had told me what you were doing so I could have worried about
you." The next time me and my buddy went camping we did tell her. And she helped us
prepare better.
