I just came home from a hot dog roast out at my folks acreage. My girlfriend, a couple of her kids, her sister and her little one, and her folks all came out as well. I ended up sneaking off with my girls dad to ask permission to marry her. He said yes, although it wouldn't have stopped me if he would have answered any other way. Now, I'm full of cheap dogs, soda and cole slaw. Ouch.
