AARON
What’s going on?
BROOKE SHIELDS
Well, he’s just got lights EVERYWHERE. He- well, let me just take a photo. SCOTT! SCOTT! I’M GOING TO GO OUT AND TAKE A PHOTO OF THE GRISWOLD’S HOUSE. He can’t hear me. Oh well. Did I tell you the president of BYU is staying at my house? GEEZ it’s freezing.
AARON
How cold, like 60?
BROOKE SHIELDS
It was 54 degrees when I got in an hour ago, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AARON
Mom, did you say the president of BYU is staying at your house? Not the vice president or the alumni president?
BROOKE SHIELDS
NO AARON, BYU doesn’t have any Vice Presidents. Hang on one second. Let me take a picture. You’re not going to believe this.
AARON
And he’s staying at the house?
BROOKE SHIELDS
YES Aaron. He’s coming down for the Rose Bowl. I’m sending it to you now.
AARON
And why do you have to decorate? Your house looks fine. I was home last month. Is it gonna be BYU themed?
BROOKE SHIELDS
No. Goodness no. Are you kidding me? Did you get it?
AARON
You should get a bunch of little BYU football ornaments! Little helmet ornaments! Put them up all over the tree! You should run a blue and white banner across the- oh, I think I got it-
BROOKE SHIELDS
NO, Aaron, I’m too classy for that. Much too classy.
AARON
Looks like he got the neighbor in on it.
BROOKE SHIELDS
Oh, no, that’s all one house.
AARON
WHAT? It looks like two houses to me.
BROOKE SHIELDS
No, it’s one house, that dark gap is the driveway. His house continues on the other side. Brrrrrrrr, IT’S COLD!
AARON
Wow.
BROOKE SHIELDS
But he does have the neighbor across the street involved. See how the lights are going across there?
AARON
Wow. You should see some of the houses out here. They have tropical themes, I think it’s because they hate the winter.
BROOKE SHIELDS
That’s so depressing. So depressing. I can’t think of anything more depressing. SCOTT! SCOTT! He has his headphones on and he’s reading a book. He can’t hear a word I say. This is what we do. SCOTT! Aaron doesn’t believe that it’s only one house. I sent him a picture of the Griswold’s.
SCOTT
Tell him the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Well – doesn’t your “transcript” of our conversation make me look like a big dumb crazy loon. While I won’t protest the crazy, I know I’m not completely gone, as that innacurate report would imply. But I’m trying not to be as defensive, so I’ll stop here.
I actually felt that transcript did “do it justice” as I could imagine you saying that word for word!
And when is the President of BYU staying at the house? He’s not going down with Colton is he? That seems weird.
The “report” is “innacurate” as Brooke Shields claims, because The mediocre 7-5 Cougars are playing San Diego State in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 20. Since the above is now a piece of art, I exercised the creative license that God gave to me and used Rose Bowl.
The rest of the piece is “uncannily” accurate.
Amazing! Nailed it! I like the part where Scott is reading and listening to head phones!!! What!? Oh wait… Completely seen that! Funny!
Thanks to SFSF’s manager, Julie, for proofreading “doesn’t do it justice.” We don’t do a lot of proofreading at the blog, but it was invaluble here.
I don’t like any of you. If Scott knew how to access blogs and he wasn’t so busy listening to his book while he does the day’s crossword, I’m sure he would express the same sentiment. And I have to deal with the knowledge that I’m a loon, since everyone seems to be in agreement about the accuracy of Aaron’s account of our conversation.
Troy – Colton married the Dean’s daughter. Colton is coming to San Diego for the Poinsettia Bowl and they are all staying at our home. If I haven’t been committed by then, I’ll take plenty of pics. It’s been my pleasure to be part of such an entertaining blog post. Aaron – I hope Santa doesn’t forget you this year.
aaron – I didn’t know your mom was Brooke Shields…..
Aaron is very private and humble person and his mom isn’t willing to admit she is old enough to have sons in their 30’s.
?
I really miss hanging out with GWAr and listening to his phone conversations with his mom! They usually ended when she would abruptly hang up without a goodbye. 🙂
Nice. Thanks.
Celebs don’t have to say goodbye. They never say goodbye in the movies.
You have redeemed your friend – and me. Good-bye, for now 🙂
