A funeral
Maggie
Do you know how most funerals have a somber tone to them? People grieve and mourn for the departed, except Nixon didn’t get the memo. He went a different route with Karen’s funeral.
/"Nixon, please do me a favor and don’t act like you,/" Nate warned Nixon as we stood there.
/"You offend me with your lack of confidence in performing a funeral,/" Nixon told Nate.
/"I don’t give a shit if I offend the Pope. Do not screw this up,/" Nate told Nixon.
/"Nate! We’re in a funeral home. I don’t think people would appreciate you swearing,/" Pat cautioned Nate.
/"Patty, I’m in my nineties. I don’t give a shit what people think,/" Nate retorted.
Pat sighed as I wondered how this funeral would go. If your ninety-something father must warn you not to act like yourself, that’s bad.
