IT IS HARD BEING A TOMMY WHEN THE HOUSE IS BEING SHOWN ON CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY AFTERNOON (OTHER WISE KNOWN AS TOMMY CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOUSE). JUST SETTLING INTO HIS HOT WINGS AND WIFEY NEEDS TRASH TAKEN OUT AND FLOORS TO BE SWEPT.
AFTER A WHIRLWIND OF CLEANING UP POST SLUMBER PARTY AND TRY TO GET THE HOUSE 'SHOW' READY, I ENLISTED THE HELP OF THE WHOLE FAMILY TO GET IT DONE FAST.
I WALKED BY THE DEN AND EXASPERATED LOOKED AT THE PLATE OF HOT WINGS AND VARIOUS SAUCES. TOMMY, "WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR THE HOT WINGS?".
"CAN WE PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE FOR NOW?" WINCING I ANSWER, KNOWING THAT HE HAS WARMED THEM TO JUST THE RIGHT TEMP.
"I'LL DO SOMETHING WITH THEM," HE ANSWERS.
"ARE YOU GOING TO SIT IN THE CAR AND EAT THEM DURING THE SHOWING?" I JOKE.
TOMMY DOES ALL OF HIS CHORES AND HE GOES A STEP FURTHER AND STARTS CLEANING OUT A BUILT IN CABINET THAT HOLDS OUR DVDS AND TAPES AND SUCH.
AS I'M DOING THE TOUR, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER DURING SHOWING THIS HOUSE, I OPEN THE DVD CABINET. I MEAN, WHY WOULDN'T I, WHEN IT WAS ALWAYS A JUMBLED MESS OF TAPES, CASES AND MISMATCHED DVDS BEFORE AND NOW TOMMY HAS STRAIGHTENED IT.
LITTLE DID I KNOW, MY SWEET HUSBAND HAD STASHED HIS TRAY OF HOT WINGS ON THE TOP SHELF OF THAT CABINET. NOT ONLY THAT, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE AND JUST WENT ON TALKING.
WE HAVE NO CLUE IF THE PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT THE HOUSE EVEN NOTICED.
"I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU OPENED THAT CABINET. I THOUGHT FOR SURE, YOU KNEW THAT IS WHAT I DID," TOMMY LATER LAUGHED.
OH, HOW FUNNY!!!

That is so great!!! It totally would have happened to me.
Were they still the right temperature? And how did Tommy know that they looked in the cabinet? Was he on the tour or did you see him getting out his stash and you flipped?
I love it! I can't wait to tell Jay the story.
this is classic Tommy. Please thank him on my behalf for the good laugh. :)
Maybe the aroma of hot wings will help sell the house!!
You guys are so funny! Oh Tommy!
