Yeah, and I’m Ruben’s brother

I just had to share this. This sweet-sounding older lady called work today and I answered. She said, “Yes, my name is blah blah blah. I’m Bo Bice’s grandmother.” Well, I haven’t watched American Idol any this year, but I’ve listened to radio and read the paper enough to know that Bo Bice is one of the finalists or whatever, and he is originally from Alabama. She went on to say he was gonna be appearing somewhere around here tonight. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting call, if not humorous. (And no, I’m not posting this just so I’ll get some extra hits, although I probably will.)

“We took one more trip around the sun, but it was all make-believe in the end. No, I can’t say where she is today. I can’t remember who I was back then…”
