In 2006 my siblings and I decided to do a Family Cruise. Dsis and her family / Dbro and his wife and my family - total group was 11 ppl.
Dbro has a slight drinking issue and most days he could be found stumbling around the deck looking for his beer. Dsis-in-law basically ignores him. It is a tad sad but that is their life and they accept it - so be it.
Anyway - during this cruise we experienced rough sea's. I did not mind since it was NOT overly bad - but one morning all of us Adults were sitting in the cove. DH was in the hot tub - Dsis was reading - Dsis-in-law was sitting on the other side of the pool sunning herself and I was sitting in the pool area - you know where you can wet your bottom but not the WHOLE body! It is about 10:00am and most of us are drinking coffee or juice. Many people are sitting on the ledge as well. Dbro see's me sitting and yells "LISA......LISA...Don't MOVE...I am on my way over to see you" he proceeds to climb INTO the pool area and start WALKING toward me - across the DANG POOL - so I yell "STOP - you are going to walk straight into the Pool" so he stops and walks around to where I am sitting. Many people sitting there are trying to stifle a laugh. He finally staggers over to me and flops down ( like a rag doll ) but does NOT spill a drop of the beer he is carrying !) and announces in a very VERY loud VOICE....
Him: I finally figured out what is wrong
Me: With what
Him: The boat
Me: there is a problem with the boat?
Him: Yes --- watch (and he points to the water in the pool)
Me: what am I supposed to be watching (by now everyone is watching)
Him: Here it comes - LOOOOOOOK and he points to the pool
Me: Is it an animal? or what?
Him: PAY ATTENTION !!! here it comes again
Me: hmmmm ok
Him: HERE IT COMES AGAIN - GET READY - SEE SEE SEE
Me: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ( and neither does the 10 other people looking)
Him: ok just watch I will point it out to you
Me: OK
Him: HERE it comes - see - the boat is broken
ME: I NEED A DRINK
Him: Want a beer?
ME: NOOOOOOOOOOOo
Him: Ok since you are not seeing what I am seeing let me tell you what is wrong ---- the boat is broken---- before they put us in the water they should have LEVELED the Boat....
me: HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH? ? ? ?
Him: Well after we all got on the boat - they should have made sure the boat was level and then we should have departed...
Me: I am totally lost with what you are saying - and so is your audience
( pointing to all the other people listening )
Him: Watch closely you will see that the boat is tipping side to side....
Me: ( finally catching on to what he is talking about ) YOU TOTAL IDIOT - the boat is rocking cus we are on the water and those are called WAVES that make the boat move !!!!!! ( I got up and shook my head and walked away ) the roar of hysterical people at the Adult cove was deafening!!!!
I have to say.. that is priceless.. My brother and I sorta had a convo like that but it was about the sun blinking when it was lightening..
