Apparently, a family BBQ that I missed turned into a bit of drama involving an altercation between my dad and an in-law.
I overheard my mom on the phone with the in-laws’ spouse, discussing what to do with their husbands. The morning after the BBQ. I am just waking up to hear my mom’s side of the conversation with zero context.
Mom: “Look, I know your husband is a police officer.”
Pause.
Mom: “Yes, I know that [Dad] said, “f*** the police”.”
Pause.
Mom: “But if your husband hadn’t gone straight to punching, he would have heard him follow up that statement with, “Sting’s solo work is much better”.”
