Last night the blessed day was finally upon us, Bingo Night!
And now for a little explanatory explaining:
Every year the parents of our high school's graduating seniore class come together and raise money for an awesome senior party directly following graduation. I've been helping out since last fall fundraising and organizing for the all-nighter. One of the fundraisers that we decided upon was Bingo. We thought it would be a fun diversion for the dead of winter.
Moving on, bingo night had finally arrived, and I was pretty stoked because I was meeting my mom and our neighbor at the high school for all the dauber dabbing fun.
Well, as soon as I exited my blue chariot, I knew the night was going to be lit. Because I saw the local MeeMaw Bingo Mavens were in attendance.
As Mom and I strolled in I spied a bent and withered little form teetering along the frozen sidewalk into the gym. She was pushing a cart that contained two oxygen bottles and a custom carrier full of bingo daubers.
The professionals were in attendance!
It's not often that I get to participate in an activity that I am volunteering at, but the way things worked out was great. My neighbor (her son's a senior), and I were on cleanup detail, so that meant we could play bingo too.
And we did.
Before we got to playing, one of the amazing things that happened to us was one of the hardcore bingo players dropped by our table and showed us the magic of highlighting the patterns in games that required them. Like three squares, three diamonds, the wineglass, etc...So that way you could just mark the numbers that mattered and not get all confused by too much marking. She was a bingo goddess that one! I felt blessed and awed!
While me, Mom, and my neighbor were playing our twelve games of fundraising bingo for prizes, an instance of greatness occurred. My neighbor K was wearing a fuzzy white sweater of the knitted pattern kind. We were all in the thick of game play, trying to figure out the mysteries of diamond and flag bingo games when this young man (early twenties or so) suddenly appeared to my right, leaned over the table, and a very serious voice said to my neighbor,
I simultaneously bit my cheeks, cringed for my neighbor who's cheeks blossomed into a very uncomfortable red, and was awed by the display of all out testicular boldness to come to a table of women and lay that line out during the bingo festivities.
After shooting his shot, Bingo Romeo departed and my neighbor flustered a bit. Words like old lady and what in the world came out.
Me, being a bit of a mischievous donkey, began chanting MILF, MILF, MILF under my breath and got a nuclear level of mirth deployed in my cortex as I also got to explain to my Ma was a MILF was.
So much laughter occurred as we pondered the amazing encounter.
But then we got back to Bingo.
The parents of our senior class really outdid themselves. There were drinks, a nacho bar, and desserts one could purchase, the local senior center let us use their bingo set up, the dad who dresses up in a chicken suit for fundraising events did a bang up job as the ball caller, and overall we made quite a lot of money for the party because the event was well-attended.
And the best part was, I learned the power of the white sweater.
One sweater to rule them all!
NGL, that "milf" bit made me burst out laughing.
Oh I hope your mom was a good sport about adding to her vocabulary 😊 otherwise the word "awkward" comes to mind lol.
Wow Bingo Romeo certainly has some cojones even if a nice white sweater adds some MILF hotness points!
Heh. I'm sure Neighbor Lady K looked nice, but it seems our mutual acquaintance C's attitude is rubbing off on you a bit too much, perhaps? And then you had to explain it? !LOL

Apparently there is a great deal I don't know about Bingo, or about the power of white sweaters.
