What Took You Sooo Long?

A few years ago when I was still in High School, o.k. it's been a little longer then a few years, I was in the Pep Band (Nerd). Well after the game was over and I was done I always phoned my dad to get a ride home. I actually had to use the pay phone there were no cellular phones yet. My dad always showed up in just about 15 minutes from the time I called him except for one evening. I had phoned him and stood there waiting, 15 minutes went by then 20 then 25....
Finally he showed up. I jumped into the car and said WHAT TOOK YOU SOOO LONG?!!! Right then I got the look that said you had better shut your mouth now before I just leave you right here. My dad worked 3rd shift and always slept during the day and when I would call he would come flying out of his bedroom half awake, stumbling to get to the phone. It was close to Christmas and we had bought a bunch of 1/2 pound boxes of chocolates as Christmas presents. That evening my dog Daisy had decided to sample a few of the boxes. The chocolates had upset poor Daisy's stomach and she had left a few piles of puke outside my dad's bedroom door. Imagine flying out of your bedroom door half awake to answer the phone just to slip and fall in a pile of puked up chocolate Santa clauses.

Don't worry Daisy felt much better after she got it all out of her system :)
