lindy comes to indy.

mom dropped in for the weekend to fulfill a rite of passage as the parent of a butler student---to attend a basketball game in the old-as-dirt but nontheless historic hinkle field house. since the game was saturday morning mom came in on friday afternoon. after a very unsatisfying skype date with trac we did a late lunch then shopped around broad ripple and spent moms hard earned money (thanks for the new shoes!!!) we lounged at suzys, and by lounged i mean experienced how it must feel to live in a humane society thanks to the group of dogs she is currently sitting, before heading over to brugge where we ate our body weight in mussels and pomme frites.

the next day was the game, which was quite the experience. mom and i sat with zac (looking very dapper in his snowcoming prince sash) then the three of us went to lunch afterwards. i have to say that overall the day was highly educational as the three of us seem to be quite the experts on knowing a lot about nothing important, and nothing about anything important. heres the wisdom we acquired in just a few short hours:

-basketball games have two halves, not four quarters. i figured this one out.

-apparently we were supposed to wear white to the game. oops, missed that memo. very few others did. awkward.

-cheerleading is like dancing. thanks mom.

-lebanon is in the middle east. thanks zac.

-golden raisins look like boogers. and vice versa.

-what sebum is. and what the tech term for earwax is. except i dont remember. if you really want to know, you can ask chacha cause thats what we did. during lunch. sick.

-apparently i am anemic. thank you tag team mom and zac for diagnosing this in the car outside of starbucks by telling me that my lips are purple then asking me to pull my eyelid down so you can see how pale it is. very scientific and official. forgive me if i want a second opinion.

-there is no need to get married, or even date, as long as you can find a sponsor, you know, like someone to buy you shit. this was a group concensus.

here's to parents who impart the real necessary life skills. love you mom.
