another glover moment...
I'm sure by now that Glover is beginning to get a little worried about all the things he makes mention of in conversation with me now - publishing detailed oddities of someones life all over the internet for the world to see tends to make one a little paranoid, often for good reason.
Today Glover is being heralded on LOS for dropping one of the most random and disturbing phrases I could ever think of into the middle of a bbq lunch conversation. A group of us were sitting outside around a table eating under the late summer afternoon sun, enjoying each others company and sharing funny stories from our past about the 'worst things' we had done, and then Glover jumps in and says:
"Yeah, I think the worst thing I ever did was chop my grandmothers toes off..."
We all stop and stare, someone coughs their food onto their plate... a knife drops... the birds stop singing and there is silence.
"Yeah... true... I thought I had told you about that before."
No Glover, I am pretty sure you had just mentioned how you killed a dog with your bare hands by punching it ONCE in the head when it attacked you. I'm pretty sure you told us about your random church showdowns and stories... but chopping off your grandmothers toes... those little digits of that poor old innocent and helpless matriarch of your family... that is something new.
You are such a horrible grandchild. I can't remember all the details of the story, except it involved Glover helping his grandmother to get off a ride-on lawnmower, only he helped her get off the wrong side and her feet went through the plastic cover and into the blades. But I will end with the most disturbing line from Glovers story...
"The worst thing wasnt the blood or anything like that... it was just the moaning... the way she kept moaning until the ambulance arrived."
Remind me never to mow the lawn while you are around.
