Norms ice cream and a murder

Jeff took Darby and Cooper to Norm’s for ice cream last week before they closed for the season. He said he was standing there in line waiting to order, while Cooper was running around the flower pot or something over by the picnic tables. Cooper ran over from the tables to the back of the line and loudly says to Jeff who is standing in the middle of this line by now...”so I just found out a kid was MURDERED in Grand Haven”.

Jeff said every single person standing in line suddenly did a 180 degree head turn and a few jaws dropped ...”it happened on Halloween night of 1992” Cooper continued. The audience quickly lost interest, as the initial shock was extinguished with his 27 year time lapse admission. Cooper then told Jeff the story of Adam Provencal getting shot trying to apologize for a Halloween prank, which I’d NEVER even known about all my years of living here! Anyways, is this my kid or what? Lol.

I asked Jeff is he was embarrassed, he said “not at all, totally used to it by now”. So I guess you can say we’ve finally succeeded as a blended family 🙂
