Later BH brings up the pork roast. I think it weighed about 9-10 pounds. We're talking about this HUGE piece of meat and so help me I had to start laughing.
And he says, "What?"
And I say, "It's just a funny looking piece of meat is all."
And he says, "What do you mean?" I now know he is baiting me.
And I say after much hemming and hawing "It looks like a donkey dick."
Again I am laughing and I tell him what my boys would HAVE to do with the thing. To which he humors me with a picture. Requesting only that his face not be shown.
Which was shared with my parents that came over for THE BBQ, and his son, who thinks (knows) I'm a nut job, and with all of you, because, please, you had to see this thing.
Oh and there is another pug in the family. My dad tells me (on the phone) that he talked to his brother (my uncle) the other day. Now on the phone my dad is a soft talker, very soft. Combine this with his thick German accent and sometimes it's difficult to understand him. I grew up with it so I honestly don't hear his accent, but on the phone, sometimes, I have trouble understanding him.
dad: Your aunt got a new dog.
(my aunt raised Bouviers for years, my uncle raised Rotts)
me: Oh what'd she get?
dad: A puck.
(I swear he said puck)
me: A pup? Did she get a puppy?
dad: Yes I think it's a puppy, he says it's all over the house.
me: So what kind is it.
dad: A puck ( I know he's saying puck)
me: A puck?
dad: No, a puck!
me: A puck?
dad: Like Frank! A puck!
me: Oh, a pug!
dad: Yes, a puck! And he says the damn thing is shedding all over the house!
me: Yeah, they do that.
So, we have a new puck in the family. I hope they send pictures.

Oh I can't stop laughing!
That German accent...
My mom even writes with an accent.
One birthday, she wrapped up all my old stuffed animals in a box and signed the card, "From all your friends in the chunk drawer!"
She meant the junk drawer.
A puck! COngrats to them!
That is SO something Jason would do with a piece of meat that size.
