Stop the presses: Major breakthrough with Daddy today! Aaron and I were talking about going camping in Wisconsin over the Fourth of July weekend, you know, fresh air, starry nights, campfires, s’mores and just Aaron and me alone with nature. With no cops chasing us. And, since we’d promised my mom we’d be grown-up and respect Daddy’s rules, we decided to run the plan past Daddy and Rosanna in the most mature and appropriate way possible: dripping wet, straight out of the Country Club pool. At first, Daddy was well, Daddy. In perfect Craig fashion, he freaked out (in order) about creeps that hang out in the woods, lions, tigers, bears and what have you. So then Aaron suggested all four of us go. All four of us. As in Daddy, Rosanna, Aaron and me! I nearly choked on my lunch, Rosanna looked in desperate need of a martini, and Daddy, well, that was one scary vein just pulsing, pulsing, pulsing on his forehead. Flash ahead to five minutes later and Daddy had stormed out of there. I thought all hope was lost but Rosanna encouraged us to act like adults and make our decision whether to stay or go, live with the consequences, blah, blah, blah. And just when I’m thinking let’s give Dad a break before that vein of his just explodes out of his head, back he comes. And he had rented us a foldout camper! Aaron and I were psyched beyond words, couldn’t even finish our lunch. Just when I think Daddy is beyond my understanding (or anyone’s, really), he does something that proves himself the best dad ever! Unless, of course, he’s got something else up his sleeve. This is Craig Montgomery we’re talking about here. Maybe I should be afraid. Very, very afraid...
