Mexican Blondes?

Have you ever asked yourself if there are Mexican blondes out there?
Well, I'm here to tell you, "yes indeed there are!"
Infact I have one living right next door to me. Which happens to be my dear, sweet mother.

I'll make this a short story. During spring break, my mom and dad had the privilege of keeping their two great-granddaughters for the week.
Kyle and Bea's daughters, Haley, age 7, and Lauren, age 3.
They really enjoyed being out on the farm, and it just so happened that there were 14 new baby goats. Haley of course felt she had to be out there helping out her "Tata" from early morning till late at night, or the goats were just not gonna be looked after as they should be without her help.

Getting back to the blonde. Mom had told me the week before that her and Dad had found the best homemade peanut brittle they'd ever had. So, of course I had to drive over to Westbrook, just west of Colorado City to get me some of that so called, "best peanut brittle ever made", just to make sure Mom wasn't lying to me. ( do you think that maybe, just maybe this is the reason some of the clothes hanging in my closet keep shrinking?)

Ok, back to the blonde. We decide to take the girls with us for a ride. We get Lauren's car seat and position it in the back seat of MY car. Have you ever tried strapping a child down onto a child seat? Not easy when you're not used to doing it on a daily basis. It was taking an 80 year old grandpa, 76 year old grandma, and a hefty 57 year old aunt (me) to strap the kid down. Believe it or not, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO IT!

That's when the 76 year old mexican blonde steps in and says, ( with index finger on forehead ) " Hey, why don't we try the car seat in MY car?" Well, why didn't grandpa and hefty ever think that the color and model of the car would make all the difference in strapping down the kid?

The old man and I laughed till we hurt. By this time, poor Lauren was so restless and probably wondering what the hell we were laughing about, and the old lady STILL couldn't figure out what she'd said that was so funny!!

Us country folk need to get out more!! LET ME TELL YOU, THAT PEANUT BRITTLE WAS THE BEST EVER!
