I am such a sucker
So my parents were nice enough today to watch the kids while Jason took me out to lunch. A little alone time is always nice. Well, when we got back to my parents' house we ended up staying and watching the end of the Cardinals game with them. Today the Cardinals were playing the Nationals.
We're sitting there and my dad looks at Jason and something like "Did you know that the catcher for the Nationals is my nephew?" I'm like hold on here what did he just say. So of course I'm like "What?" and Dad goes "Well, didn't you notice the last name?" (the catcher's last name is Schneider - my maiden name) I'm like "What do you mean your nephew? That would mean he's my cousin and I don't remember him. Who's kid is he?" and my Dad is like "He's Uncle Skip's. See you didn't know everything do you?" and I'm like "There's no way. Uncle Skip only has Angie, Amy, and Adam. I didn't know there were any other kids." Dad was like "Yeah, early on in Skip and Cheryl's marriage." and of course I'm like "So, he's older than Angie?" and Dad's like "Yeah, he just doesn't come around a lot."
Then, my mom walks in and I totally fell for it because I tell her; "Did you know that Uncle Skip had a boy older than Angie? I didn't know there was another kid." My mom just looks at my dad and says "Did you really think I'd play along with that?"
Everyone, including my sister who had walked in during this, starts cracking up...
AT MY EXPENSE
Dad commented on how he didn't think I was that gullible, but damn was he wrong. I can't believe I fell for it. A long lost cousin that plays major league baseball - just my luck. Jason thought it was great and said that he knew it was a joke from the beginning. He seems to think that Dad didn't intend to pull one over on me initially, but when he saw that I was buying into it, he just took and ran.
Damn!!
