The Stocking Was Hung
“I just want to say hello to my future son-in-law.”
Rolling my eyes, I signal to the bartender, then point to my empty pilsner glass while my mother adds a little guilt to her demand.
“My baby is stuck in an airport in a strange, dangerous city. Is it too much to ask that I speak to the man accompanying her to make sure he’s keeping her safe?” she questions.
“Mom, I’m in Chicago, not Afghanistan,” I remind her with a sigh as the waitress rushes over to me and quickly refills my glass with anothe...r draft beer. She can obviously see the distress on my face and knows I’m two seconds away from losing my shit all over the bar if I don’t get more booze in my system. I should’ve ignored my mother’s call and continued drinking away my problems, but after ten missed calls, six voicemails and four text messages, if I continued to ignore her she would’ve probably called the police.
“Whatever,” she huffs. “Put him on the phone.”
I cringe, lifting the delicious frosty beverage to my lips and downing half of it.MoreLess
