HOBLisms

Summertime and HOBL being home...

Well let me just say by the end of the summer

too much togetherness is not always good for

the Riera couple.

He has this way of saying these little sayings

like a child with Turret's.

He has been saying them for so long

that sometimes I don't even notice

but the babies laugh so much

even after hearing them their whole life.

Most days it doesn't bother me.

However after two weeks in a home with HOBL,

well, it starts to wear on you.

So on top of hearing about how BP will sell

and how he is afraid he may no longer get to travel to Alaska,

I have to hear these HOBLisms.

LILLIANA FROM GALLIANA LOUISIANA

I mean he calls me this CONSTANTLY

first of all, I am from Golden Meadow and when I

remind him of this he reminds me that Golden Meadow

does not rhyme with Lilliana.

So it doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not,

it matters that he likes it.

Then there is the thing he has to say every time you get

in the car with him,

"HOLD ON TO YOUR BRITCHES YOU SON OF A B....CHES"

I mean really, do we need to hear this?

Then there is the one that I cringe every time I pass

a cemetery,

"LIL, PEOPLE ARE JUST DYING TO GET IN THERE"

There are the little songs he sings,

"IN 1492, COLUMBUS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

HE SAT IN THE GRASS AND PLAYED WITH HIS A.."

Well, you get the picture.

The funny thing about all of this is at the time

I fuss him for his dumb songs but

when he is not around me and the babies laugh

when we think of them.

It's been a long, long, long week.
