After work, we all head out for a light night looking to take advantage of drink specials at one of the places near our home. They usually have buy one get on free domestic drafts at this place, but we mix up the days, so we don't stay long. It's kind of a sports bar, so they've got four tv's all showing something different. My mother in law comments that it's a lot to take in and would be hard to focus on one game with all the distractions from other tv's. I am not surprised to hear this since my wife had a similar complaint when we first went to a BW3's to watch the college b-ball tourney. Nothing of interest was on, but she tried to quiz me on all four at once saying, 'hey look over there', 'oh wow look at that'. Two of the tv's that were on had baseball on and that game just doesn't jive with most foreigners. I chose to direct her attention to the action sports tv where she can watch guys flip and fall on bikes and boards, something I am sure she hasn't seen. Later on I hear her gasp and say something to my wife. My wife turns to me and says she saw a woman in pants so tight you could see and she points to her pelvic area. I start laughing b/c I get to explain camel toe to her. It takes awhile for them to translate camel (they keep saying horse, and I say no it's a horse in the desert that has the lump on the back). Eventually they get the visual and how it relates. She laughs and says 'that woman had the foot of the camel'....close enough.
We end up leaving there and looking for a place to sit outside. The place we wanted to go was way too busy, so we end up at a kind of a campus bar for UCF. We step in and my mother in law gets annoyed a few minutes into our stay. My wife says she's complaining about the UT-LSU baseball game. She asks why it's following her wherever she goes and that she's fed up with it. It was a mild annoyance b/c she didn't let it bother her after that. There's a sort of tour of beers happening on this trip for my mother in law. Last night, she got a taste of PBR. Like I said kind of a campus bar and it was a dollar, so we let her try it. She said she liked it, so I jokingly told my wife we can start stockpiling $3 six packs for her.
While we're there, we are talking about my brother in law. He recently talked to my wife and my mother in law so they were relaying everything he had to say. He's got my wife searching for used blackberry phones so he can mess with and sell over there. I don't know how compatible the SIM cards are, but he's got a computer science background and loves messing with electronics. He also asked if my mother in law was still wearing her trousers regularly instead of the traditional dress. Upon finding out that she is, he asks my wife if everyone is staring at her butt jiggling around in her pants.
On the other side of the bar, a guy with a mohawk is setting up to play some accoustic music. My mother in law asks if the chickenhead is going to sing tonight.
Last story of the night involves my brother. He's 37 and single. He visited Uganda with my wife and I last year. (as an aside, my wife was introducing him to people over there as the chief of Poland, and people were getting on their knees to shake his hand) My wife asked her mother if she would like for my brother to visit again. She said she does, and that she's going to find a virgin for him to marry. My wife and I laugh. I jokingly tell my mother in law that she has to be Bagandan, since that is the only tribe my family would marry. My wife asks how old would this girl be, and my mother in law says, 'maybe 17 or 18.' Before she starts her search she wanted to know one more thing, and that was educational requirements.
