But white and a flat surface because of all the ladies’ high heels. Tina adds.

We were talking about that also. Don’t worry we will take care of you ladies and your heels, Russell says.

And maybe a railing around it. Wouldn’t want anyone stepping over too far and falling.. Bette says.

Yeah like Russ. Jeffery says looking over at Jamie.

Jamie busts out laughing knowing where this was going.

Shut up Jeffery! Russell urges.

Well it has to be good if Jamie’s laughing, Tina says.

Should I tell them or do you want the honors? Jeffery asks with a smirk.

I’ll tell it because you’ll stretch it all out of proportion.

Russ clears his throat and looks at Jamie who is smirking and restraining a giggle. You’re going to bust a gut honey. Jamie puts her hand to her mouth…Ok see what happened was …Jeffery laughs out loud..  Russell looks at him …could we?…Jeffery stops best he could…we all went out, gesturing to the three of them. Jeffery brought a date, if you call that a date.

Hey, she was hot!

Boys! There are children present, Lynn scolded.

Ok ok…Anyway, we were line dancing and I happened to step too close to the edge and fell about a foot or two down but I didn’t get hurt. I just lost my footing.

Jeffery laughs. Wow that is the shortest version of the truth I have very heard. You left out all the good stuff…

Ok smarty pants tell your version.

Gladly. Well he has the night right and we were dancing. But he was three sheets to the wind and the dance had been going on for half the song before he ever joined in. Well more like disrupted the line I should say. He had a glass of beer in his hand. He did get too close to the edge and did fall but not on the floor. Jamie losses it and laughs holding her side.

Son, where did you fall? Joe asks.

Russell doesn’t speak from embarrassment but Jeffery filled in the blanks. He fell into Sally Rodger’s lap, who is a rather large lady and her husband is about the same size. Well you have to know this couple…Jeffery is talking with his hands. She is the sweetest woman you will ever talk to but her husband is the most jealous kind of fellow there is. When Russ landed in her lap, beer went all over her including her boobs which his face is now inches from. Russell then proceeds to clean it up with his shirt sleeve but when her husband jumped up and jerks him up by his collar you should have seen the look on his face. Jeffery is cracking up hardly getting the words out, pounding his fist on the table. Jamie is turned and bent over laughing. Needless to say Russell sobered up so fast he ‘bout craped his britches. Jamie and I were no help.
