The day mom made me cry......

So I'm at my mom's house this last weekend. We had some things to attend to, and just let the kids run wild and stuff. It was a relaxing break, set up a DVD player and restock her movie collection, sip some beers...all was good.....good that is untill. Backstory...I'm not a terribly rich man cash wise, but I do enjoy some things a little out of my price range. One of these is a cognac called Courvosier. Cognac enthusiasts would call this "low brow" or even mouthwash...but to me, this is nectar of the gods. The Zig house buys 2-3 bottles a year as a rare treat......thats our budget this lil gem,,,,,and we like it damnit!! anywho...on to the story...... My mom and uncle and I were sitting at the table watching a new dvd and this little conversation broke out... Mom...Whats that cognac you like?? Me...Courvosier, why? Uncle...I told ya...thats the stuff that kicked my ass the night before his wedding. Me..."chuckling"..technically, it was my truck bumper that kicked your ass, but yes. (The night prior my wedding, I shared a bottle with him and mom, he stepped outside to wizz...on my truck tire...he slipped,,,the resulting contact with his face and my rear bumper still makes the wedding pictures entertaining,,,) Mom...I thought so, we saw a bottle in the clearance bin at a store not too long ago...it was funny looking though so we wern't sure....around $24.00 Me...Bummer, $24.00 isn't a huge discount but not bad...wait, what do you mean funny looking?? Uncle...It....it just looked different, had vs..sumfinn on it.... Me..."My heart sinking a little as reality sets in" V.S.O.P.....yes....guys..the bottle wan't clear was it?? Long neck fat body.....but not clear?? Mom and Uncle in unison...No it was green.....wierd huh???? Me..."slow draw on my cigarette"...not so wierd 10 years ago, back just before they stopped bottling it in green glass....making that $24.00 dollar bottle atleast 10 year aged in the bottle....before it was aged in the cask....."sick feeling in my stomach now.." Mom...We thought of buying it for you for christmas, but your uncle said no..... Me..."me holding back tears"....well you thought of me anywho.........:) I stopped at said store, the bottle wasn't there...but other than that..it was just a dandy weekend!! Except for that green bottle that got away.... :) happy wednesday goofs and friends!! :)
