do these belong to you???

two saturdays ago i had some ppl from softball/delta over since practice was rained out. mario party + 10 lbs of taco beef = good times. except for the part of there being 2 giant tupperware tubs packed full with ground beef and one giant tub of shredded cheese. (good thing i've got young cousins to pawn those off onto... ;p ) anyway, when ppl started going home, i noticed a bottle of vodka and one of gin on my kitchen counter. curious, i asked where they came from and someone told me that my parents must have brought it with them after the birthday banquet that they had attended. strange but fair enough, i thought, so i didn't say anything to my parents until the three days later when the bottles of alcohol were still sitting on our counter.

"mum, what's with these bottles of alcohol?"
"your friends left them here last saturday."
"are you serious? but no-one was drinking - we were all drinking [frozen concentrate] juice and playing mario party all night. and the ppl upstairs were having some sort of delta or english service meeting."
"are you sure they didn't put it in the juice? maybe you just didn't notice."
"uh, i think i would have noticed that. somebody probably just brought them in case somebody wanted to drink something. or maybe they had come from another function."
[notes the bottles are nearly empty] "then they shouldn't be driving or at a party in that condition - look how much they've drunk! tsk tsk."
"i'm pretty sure they didn't drink all that in one sitting."
"they could've just put it in the juice to make a "punch". some people do that, you know. maybe you just didn't realise it."
"mum, this isn't a high school homecoming dance - there was NO spiked punch!!"

hmmm, i wonder how enthusiastic my parents will be to host another delta gathering at our place... :p
