clay


My soon-to-be brother in law Clay. 

This morning I got an text from a number that I didn't recognize:
Are u ok? Call me asap! I saw on the news that the short bus flipped over and I know you don't like to wear your helmet cuz its hard to lick the window.
I was a little confused, albeit entertained. Since I have the new phone and do not have everyones number, it stood to reason that it could be someone I knew. It was an Idaho area code, but all my Idaho friends in DC were accounted for as well as Clay. So I replied to the mystery texter. I couldn't not:
Okay crazy Idaho person... Take your meds and go to bed.
I know, kind of lame but I had no idea who I was dealing with and it was just before 01:00 AM so I was not at the top of my game. I know, excuses excuses... 

Then I texted Kristin to see if it was any of her punk little friends trying to pass the time on the frozen tundra of potatoes. Turns out it was even better than a punk friend - it was her punk fiance. Clay had a new phone number and waned to play with big sister. This is why I love the kid. Well, that and the fact that he is going to take Kristin off our hands.  ( j/k K! 143)

That is awesome. I hope he doesn't mind if I copy that line. I have a few friends that need some text messages... right now.
