Mijo has had a girlfriend for a while now, the problem is that the parents of the girl do not know about him. They have come up with a plan to let the parents know what is going on, sort of. The plan is for him to make a spectacle, one of those Prom-posals, but for the homecoming dance, that way she can take whatever he gets her and show the parents. This is a cute display of affection, but it took us taking a journey and thinking of clever phrases to use.
Apparently, our son knows she likes Buc-ee's, they have had long arguments about it, he is one of the few Texans who does not appreciate the greatness that is a Buc-ee's gas station. Either way, he felt this would be the place to begin for making a package of love. Since we didn't go meet either side of the family, we had all day to do this. We went up to Buc-ee's got a bunch of stuff, including a huge Buc-ee's teddy beaver, then we headed to eat at Sea Island. Mijo really likes eating there, I am glad it is a little far from home, or we would eat there weekly, and it is just alright to me.
After eating, we headed back to Austin, had to make a pitstop at the house, we bought some chocolates, and we can't leave them in the car for more than a minute, in our heat. We then headed to Michael's to find something arts and craft to make a sign. Turns out, the Michael's next to the bookstore on Brodie Lane is gone. It was replaced by a Party City, so we were still able to find something fun to write on. We also added some candies, then we were off to the bookstore, since we hadn't walked into one since before Covid. He wanted to get her a copy of her favorite book, but they did not have it.
We ended the hunt for stuff at Central Market, he wanted a cupcake to be the centerpiece, but since she said she likes carrot cake, it needed to be a carrot cake cupcake, which luckily, they had four. We got the one, plus a couple of other goodies, for us, and headed home, oh yeah, he even got a dozen roses as an added bonus, because all girls love flowers. We all sat at the table and helped him set up the stuff, instead of writing a message in by hand, we used the computer, and even added a cartoon beaver, because why not? We thought it was all cute, by the time we were done. We only hope the parents see that our boy is a good kid and one of the best suitors their daughter could have. If they don't, it will be a complicated mess, since they have kind of been a couple since the spring, even if they went most of the summer without seeing each other.
