What do we get for Al Gator
Al's birthday was coming up and the boys had no idea what to get him.
So being wise, they asked their wives and Flower.
"Well" said Flower. "Al talks sometimes about a dish called Babute that he has when he swims down to Belize, to visit the family for Christmas. We could get the recipe and make it."
"Wonderful, and you know it does get cold here of late, perhaps a nice sweater in green." said Stef.
"Yes, and you know how Al loves his Earl Gray tea, but he was saying that it just does not taste right from a metal pot. I saw this nice Price and Kinsengton English tea pot in the mall." said Gretta.
Bowing Bob and Grrr both said "We are not worthy!!" 🙂
Well, that Thursday, it was Al's birthday. ( Ok, if you want to be exact, Hatching Day, but it is the same thing.)
Being a gentlegater and Southern as well as from a British family Al was very polite. "Thank you Y'all ladies. "Right kind of you folks to have me over I..." Al's nose started to twitch, "I say chaps, that cannot be!!"
"Oh but it is." said a smiling Flower, the hippy raptor and Gretta's younger sister, as she took the plate cover off a steaming bowl of babute.
'For those nights when it gets a bit cold in the swamp," Stef said handing Al a thick hand-made green sweater..
. "Really, I don't know what to say"...replied Al.
"Well, you can say that you will stop complaining about how hard it is, "in the colonies," to find that tea you Limeys drink, " said Bob and Grrr smiling and handing Al the British teapot and 50 lbs of Twining Earl Gray."
Happy birthday ya bum".
