Mohawk Boy

We're on our big trip and have covered a couple of states and over 1000 miles so far. We're in Montana, land that I love. Well, I love Bozeman where I went to college and lived for a while. We were there for the Sweet Pea Festival of Art. It's three days of fun each summer. I got to see lots of friends and sorority sisters, it was marvelous. From there we traveled on to Kalispell which is in the NW corner of MT, almost at the US border. It is so beautiful up there, you can't believe it. Flathead Lake is so big and amazing. I love the place. Now, you may have heard the story about Kalispell and the alligator? Yikes. The place is a little behind, but don't tell the people who live there. They have their dial-up and that's just good enough. I know, I'm from there, so I think the people are funny and quirky and NOT AT ALL like Deliverance. Plus, the people up there have this funny accent. For example, they pronounce Sunday like sun-dee. Sundee, Mondee, Tuesdee. But again, don't tell them. In Kalispell we spent some time with my folks who I've mentioned in blogs past. Speaking of quirky..... Well, my parents are an acquired taste, but good people. Quirky. My daughter asked about the first time I brought my then boyfriend (her Dad) home to meet them. I told her the tale of bringing him inside, making the introductions and running out in tears. Well, he loved them and me and here we are. Then my daughter said:

Okay, so you brought home Dad and the Mohawk Guy, anybody else?

Husband: ummm.... the Mohawk Guy? (See he knew about Mohawk Boy, but didn't know that he had ever been to my hometown with me. We don't talk about Mohawk Boy. We were having a rough patch in our relationship, say no more.)

Now I'm pointing out cute houses and trying to steer the conversation away from old bad boys and my daughter is laughing and peeing her pants in the back seat over the crisis going on in the front. It was good to see him get so riled up over Mohawk Boy. In fact, I think every marriage needs a good dose of Mohawk Boy just to liven things up.
