Small World

Ma'mas Boys

Not long after the burgers were set up the drive way filled with cars. B even had to get out more tables so people could set out the side dishes they brought. The back yard looked like a sea of bag chairs, coolers, and trash cans in a matter of minutes.

I had just started to fix my plate when B crept up behind me. Find a place to set that down for a quick sec. I need your help and would like you to meet someone.
Sitting my plate next to Jozie I followed anxiously behind B.

Stepping inside the kitchen from the deck I saw an older blond woman talking to Kolby. B didn't even have a chance to introduce us before Kolby started blabbering. I'm not kidding mom she almost gave him a heart attack. He was as pale as a sheet.

Aww my poor baby boy she said with an over exaggerated tone. That means you must be Jozies made of honor Harper I've heard so much about.

I didn't get to answer because B started smacking Kolby and Becky tried to brake it up before it got out of hand. Now that's enough; you two behave yourselves! Hearing her handle her boys made me laugh. Even in their 30s they still behaved when mother spoke. It was very amusing.

Once the guys finally settled Becky picked right up where she left off. So tell me, how did you and Jozie meet? I hear you're the one who introduced her to Justin.

Yes ma'ma I answer politely. I met them both during college in Ohio. And yes I set them up. After seeing how the sparks flew the first time they met I had to try. We both giggle. Well the way Kolby tells it you've had that effect on my Brantley. Mom! Don't ugh... B says like and embarrassed little kid. I half expected him to have a tantrum. Oh you hush Becky says. Its obvious. And she seams to be a rather smart young woman. I'm sure she's figured that much out already. I mean ya gave her your truck keys Brant!

Now Kolby was also tellin me about this over the top wonderful mac and cheese you make. I think I need some. Becky tells me as she leads me outside. Descending the steps I hear Kolby talking to B. Well at least we know mom genuinely likes her. That wasn't her fake I'm being nice because my son likes you routine.

Becky looks at me after kolbys statement and smiles. My boys know me pretty well. They saw me do that quite a bit when they were teens. Honestly I still do it. Giving her a knowing look I answer; well they will always be your baby boys. That was obvious when ya got them back in line like they were 5 year olds.
