How To Embarrass Your Really Been-There-Done-That Friends, pt2

I recently went on a trip to Blissdom with Robin. It looked like this:

Me and Robin Plemmons

Until it looked like this:

She blames me.

I blame her hate of Canada. We went in to one of the ladies rooms in the Gaylord Opryland (Holy LostBalls, Batman!)

I have to put in eye drops several times a day.

So, I tipped my head back and applied a few drops to each eye.

They do what they always do.

They leaked out of my eyes.  Like tears.

“Why do you hate Canada?” I ask her.

“How can you hate maple syrup?” It continues.

“What do you have against the Royal Mounties? Or hockey”Robin’s cracking up at this point and we’ve already talked about what it looks like when you are seen from behind laughing at my joke.

“It’s like you HATE MICHAEL J. FOX!! He has Parkinson’s, you’re not allowed to hate him.”

Robin finally totally lost it.

“Shut up, you jerk!” She yells, practically choking on laughter.

And then we turn around.

There’s a line of women at the door waiting on stalls who saw me in a wheelchair with tears and Robin yelling that I’m a jerk.

The glares were priceless.

**FYI, @Robin loves our dear friends to the north, just ask @Motherbumper and @Schmutzie

    Come on now, we know the REAL reason Robin hates Canada is because we scare her with our stories of ‘The End is Nigh”, peak oil, and Caillou. God I miss you ladies.

    DUDE. I am SO going to retell this story from my point of view. That view mostly consists of you being an asshole. Because I know “smack talk” is your primary love language.

    Robin totally needs a post to tell her side of the story, as fictitious as it might be. *snort*
