The Goods took possession of their new house on Saturday, so Kevin and I woke up that morning and drove out to the ass end of nowhere for a fun filled day of cleaning and painting. We worked hard all morning, and N. Good's parents provided a lovely lunch. After lunch, all the parents and sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews left. This left us free to say as many bad words as we pleased, which we had all been holding back all day. Also after lunch, with the cuss words and laughter bouncing off the walls, we got to some serious wall and ceiling painting. At this point I should note that N. Good is very hot natured and had the AC working hard and the windows shut tight. Afternoon found us all dizzy and giggling from the paint fumes, all four laying face up on the back deck. I should also note that Kevin calls N. Good Biggin'. After deciding that we should get back to work, Kevin was the first one to sit up. The sun hit him in the eyes and he squealed--yes, squealed--and said in a high nasal voice, "Biggin', I can't see you!" But really, he said Biggin' in some strange accent so that it sounded like, "Beeeggin', I can't see you!" I guess you sort of had to be there, but we about busted our seams we were laughing so hard.
