It actually was a lot mushier but I figured I'd spare all y'all the specifics.
Here's a little taste, though.
He told me that a fireman came up to my little sister and asked her if she'd ever thought of joining the fire department. Apparently, he works out at a gym with my sister and said that she was built for it.
Anyway, I laughed at that and told my dad that my tomboy sister was the son he's always wanted. His response? "
You are the son I've always wanted. And now Ralphie makes two."
Oy vey. Talk about making with the goosebumps all over and the tears, I tell you what.
It's been a good couple of days, y'all.
