Spring Break Funny

     This past week was Spring Break for PG.  It reminded me of when the DH and I were married in Vegas.  We had several family members and friends join us on the 4 day adventure.  It was such a blast.  We knew before going that we needed to assign keepers to the DH's youngest brother.  He was a wild one and someone needed to make sure he showed up for the wedding.  It was a close one I tell ya!  When we arrived in Vegas he couldn't even take his bag to his own room.  He dropped it in our room and was only to be seen running down the strip (with his keepers) or when he needed a change of clothes.  Oh and of course he BARELY managed to make our 20 minute wedding.  That's about as much as we saw of PG last week.  She vowed to spend the entire week with a GF and came home for clean clothes and just long enough to get her chores done.  Otherwise she would have been broke all week.  We did insist that the girls stay at our house 2 nights of the week in fear that friends parents would soon kick them out.  (Not really)  However by the time they got back to the house in the evening from "hanging out" it was bedtime for the DH and myself.  But she was still home.  On Tuesday, I believe, PG sent her DD a text asking if he could change friends oil when he got home from work.  Being that the DH and I love to be around each other so much and work for the same co. he happened to be in my office when he received this text. 
We both looked at each other and laughed.  Several thoughts ran through our minds.
We were both pretty confidant neither one of them had oil or a filter. 
Wondered if they knew what an oil filter even was.
I was pretty sure friend already had a appointment on Friday for an oil change. 
The DH decided it would be a much better conversation to have when he got home & didn't respond to the text. 
Upon arriving home PG asked:
did you receive my text?
DH: Yes
PG: Well can you?
DH: Um, what exactly do you think an oil change is? 
PG: Don't you just put new oil in the car?
DH: Well yes, but you also need to drain the old oil out and put a new filter in.  Do you have oil & a filter?
PG: Um, no.  Don't you have one on your truck?  (The DH services rental equipment on daily basis)
DH: Each car is different
PG: Oh ok, so I guess that's a no?
Friend says: Oh well my dad just told me to take it to "the service station" on Friday, so I guess I'll do that.
DH: That sounds like a good plan to me.
To hear those two girls,
Oh you have to do all that.  We didn't know all that stuff.
It was great laugh and good lesson for those two.

Two days later they broke down in the said vehicle.  Not sure whether it is a good or bad thing that the DH didn't change the oil.  Guess we'll have to wait and see what was wrong with it. 

     I took a few pics on St. Patricks Day of PB but then silly me went and deleted them.  That's what happens when you sided tracked with crazy teenagers and PB all wanting to talk to you at once.  I should of known better and set the camera down until they were done.  So I will leave with a shotty iPhone pic of my new goody that will let me carry my big ol beautiful camera and personal goodies in one bag.

I'm off to argue with PB about his head/knee/and any other body part he can come up with that hurts so he can keep climbing out of bed.  Enjoy your week and the beautiful weather!
