#752 Uncle Beasley’s Courtship- Anthony Grooms
It’s thanksgiving. Gerald (middle school aged) watches as his Uncle Beasley pours himself another gin even though his mother warned against drinking today. They have invited over Mrs. Perkins, a retired school principal for dinner. They are hoping the two of them hit it off.
Dinner goes well, but Uncle Beasley keeps drinking and eventual gets to the place they were all worried about. He gets huffy and almost spills too much information, but Gerald makes the biggest mistake by repeating a word he doesn’t even know the meaning of. He takes his licks like a man, but still gets no respect.
