For My Dad's Birthday..

                                                Coming this September 18, my dad will turn eighty.  He has dropped hints about a party celebrating this mark in his life.  I get so tickled at him as he and his best friend are both turning eighty in September, only his friend turns first, but he doesn't want a birthday party as he put it "They thrown one for me..I'm not coming".
                                                Now, we as his kids like to torment our parents, so I joked with dad and asked him if he wanted mom to jump out of a cake (I should know better by now not to urge dad on to these ideals..but oh well) "Sure" he said with a big smirk on his face  " wearing a bikini ".   Now keep in mind this conversation is being held on the porch of the house and mom is within ear-shot of this taunting.  From inside of the house my sister and I hear "Right, that ought to be a sight to see"  Dad is sitting in his chair laughing.
                                               After dad left the porch to do something in the garage, mom came out and sat with the kids, my sister and I.  The conversation shifted a little to a discussion on  the family reunion coming up September 14,  just few days away from dad's birthday.  I told mom we should just give him his birthday cake then.   Mom wasn't sure of that,. I look over at my sister, having the same grin on her face as dad always carries on his face and says "We ought to have Scott (our nephew) jump out and do his stripper dance".
                                               To clarify, my nephew likes to joke around, like he tells us "You just can't stay sad or angry around me because I can make you laugh"  That's how he can irritate his mom but also make her smile in the same moment.  His favorite thing to do is imitate male fashion models along with his rendition of "Batman"  Of course not at the same time, although that would be funny.
                                               Doing those fashion model poses with his own music is what my sister was thinking of.  Have mom hide and have my nephew jump out.  I have to admit, that is a great ideal, dad would be surprised, needless to say.
