I picked my daughter up at school on Friday afternoon and then headed home to finish packing up the Volvo. We shoved tents and sleeping bags and food and Hula Hoops into the back, two kids with more food and Game Boy's in the middle, and me and the wife up front. We then drove over the hill and down the coast to Sunset State Beach.
We stayed Friday and Saturday nights, returning this morning to get one of the girls to a Halloween party. We were joined at the campsite by my wife's brother, her two cousins and their families. While we pitched our tent, they circled their motorhomes. One of the cousins' wives was heard to complain about the lack of "full hookups". I kept my comments about "camping" to myself and we all had a fairly nice time. I always need to remember to bite my tongue when around this side of the family. The lyrics of this song illustrate why:
- THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
Your Racist Friend
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying
This is where the party ends
I'll just sit here wondering how you
Can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
You and your racist friend
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
