Junior knew that uncle Aanus was coming over later that night because Mommie was making sugar cookies and special sleepy time chocolate milk for Sissy and him. Junior hated wearing the special plastic undies that Mommie made Sissy and him wear in case they slept to long .It seemed that Sissy and he would always sleep really late the next morning .... Uncle Aanus had been a good buddy to daddy since high school. Daddy had been in a mishap with his potato gun about a month ago, daddy had always been a Oklahoma potato gun expert. At the grocery store daddy had got into a fuss with Mr. Manager about a case of a certain type of hair spray that he always used to fire his potato gun. Since the last potato gun war with daddys enemies , daddy had lost the windshield on his monster pickup truck and daddy was upset. Junior had always loved helping daddy change the u-joints on the truck except in the winter time. Junior asked Mommie about why uncle Aanus always came over so late, and Mommie had said they had to talk about grown up things. If uncle Aanus would come over during the day Junior would like to see him. Uncle Aanus always loved to give Sissy pony rides on his knee and sometimes he would have to switch knees. Sissy could not say uncle so she called him Okie Aanus and that made him laugh. The pony rides looked like fun but uncle Aanus never offered him any rides. At least uncle Aanus would tell Junior about his adventures in the Navy, daddy had been Airforce! At ports of call uncle Aanus loved to dock at third world countries and then wait at attention for liberty, liberty, liberty to be called out on the horn. Aanus would tell stories about all the young pretty ladies waving at the sailors from the dock. Uncle Aanus said that he had so much fun, even with his party ballons that he would get sick and have to go see Mr. Medic on the ship. Mr. Medic would get upset at times with Aanus but usually about fifty dollars would make Mr. Medic happy. Uncle Aanus said hed always keep up to a hundred dollars stashed on the ship because one sure did not want to get tied to a mast !Junior did not understand why the Navy would tie a guy to a mast and everyone get all dressed up and a officer say bad things about a sailor to everyone. Uncle Aanus always would shiver and start scratching himself when he told of that type of adventure . Daddy would laugh and say Charlie-Romeo-Alfa-Bravo-Sierra! Junior had got hit in the face once with a potato from a enemy potato gun, it made his nose bleed and the inside white part of his eye blood red. Daddy had put ice on his face from the beer cooler and it got well just like daddy said but he still could not see very good out of that eye. Junior sure did not want to go to a medic, get dressed up and get tied up with a rope to a mast and a officer say bad things about him to anyone. Also, Junior did not want to get demoted because he was not very tall yet!
Uncle Aanus had helped Mommie out since the mishap by buying all of daddys guns and special explosion stuff that daddy had bought. Junior once went in the monster truck with daddy and got to shake up the special explosion stuff, it looked like white bbs that daddy squeesed special liquid into the jar and he would get to shake it up a long time. Daddy had shot the special explosion stuff at a long distance and it blew up really big and loud. Junior remembered how daddy was going to experiment with the special stuff in his new steel potato gun. Junior thinks that is when the mishap might of happened. Mommie said that the few hundred dollars uncle Aanus had given her would sure help out on food for the month. Uncle Aanus was always happy to fill in the gap for Mommie !
Aanus had helped Mommie find a lawyer and his name was Mr. Probono. Daddy had accident life insurance but Mr. Insurance said that there was a problem with a word on the special certificate that Mr. Mexaimner had written on the piece of paper. It was a special word about mis-adventure on the certificate. This had made Mr. Insurance man sad and happy at the same time, Junior did not understand but Mommie was really sad. Mr. Probono had set up a appointment with Mrs. Socialsecurity so that Sissy and Junior would get a special allowance and food stamps for a good many years, Mommie said that was really going to help.
Junior hated the idea but mommie said she was going to sell the monster truck and get a better car than her 85 Yugo.. Mommie called Mr. Banker about selling the truck and Mommie got sad again because Mr. Banker said the truck was under water. Junior did not understand , daddys monster truck was parked out front where uncle Aanus had parked it after the mishap. Mommie was really unhappy but daddy had borrowed extra money on the monster truck to buy new wheels and tires. Mr. Banker said he would have to come and get the truck real soon.
Sheena, uncle Aanuss girl friend said that she was going to help Mommie get a job talking to sad guys on the phone and that she could call herself anything she wanted to like Sppattas or any name, just to cheer them up and tease them a little. Sheena said she made good money at the phone business. Uncle Aanus said that Sheena worked a lot and did not want to talk about grown up things to him after talking to all the sad guys, she did not feel like it at all after their kids went to bed , that is why he liked to visit Mommie!
Mommie said she felt that since daddy was not going to be spending a lot of money on his guns, beer, monster truck and all the left handed cigs anymore and that with uncle Aanus help they might just be ok, but she sure missed daddy just like Sissy and Junior did....
Mommie was in her bath and Junior sure hoped she would not find out that he had went to drink the rest of the special sleepy time chocolate milk.. Mommie said uncle Aanus was going to come again. Maybe Junior thought if he woke up tomorrow, this would all be just a really sad dream........ : (
