Story Telling

My uncle was down for the weekend and all of us grandkids were at my Nanas house. My uncle is almost always drunk. I honestly don’t think I have ever seen him were he wasn’t but he also acts better when he is. Anyways, it was about midnight and my cousins and I were all outside just messing around when my uncle comes out, completely hammered. My cousin Derek decides that my uncle was drunk enough that he wouldn’t see a couple of his beers missing. My cousin Jenny and I were playing with the dogs and next thing we know Derek is butt naked and running around the yard quoting Ricky Bobby from Talladega nights. My Nana was asleep and she would have been royally pissed if she had seen Derek drunk let alone drinking in the first place. My uncle kept trying to get Derek to calm down and tried to get him out farther in the field so that way my Nana wouldn’t hear his ranting and raving. Derek wouldn’t listen though; he climbed up the tree stand and started singing, “Its gettin’ hot in here so take off all your clothes!” We were laughing so hard but we knew we had to get him to calm down because the lights started to turn on in the house. My Nana hollered out the front door for all of us kids to either shut up or come in side. All of a sudden Derek got the bright idea to run across the yard right in front of her, remember he was naked, and started singing something that none of us could understand. My Nana looked at him and instead of yelling said that the hanger over will be more punishment then she could give him. She turned around and went back inside. She was right, the next morning Derek was so sick that he swore he would never get that drunk again. My Nana didn’t say anything to him, which made his agony that much funnier.
