“Survey Says…”

Hubs races dirt-bikes. Although he is not the most competitive in the sport, he has a great time with the guys that ride! He always has so much fun tackling a challenging course. We usually mix it up with a little camping, camp fires and just hanging out outdoors. It’s actually lots of fun.

This weekend, however, there was an entirely different sort of dirt-bike race. One guy’s 13-year-old kid (we’ll call him Hatfield) and another guy’s 13-year-old kid (we’ll call him McCoy) race in the same level. Apparently, Hatfield usually does better, but McCoy was able to beat him this particular day. Hatfield’s dad reportedly didn’t think much about his son losing to this McCoy kid and was making snide comments. McCoy’s dad had enough and it started a shouting match!

McCoy’s dad was yelling at the top of his lungs at Hatfield’s dad around the camp fire, dropping F-bombs left and right. There were about 8 kids nearby, as well as other adults just enjoying the outdoor evening after a race. I’m glad Cookie and Pumpkin came into the trailer to pee so they didn’t have to hear it. And they weren’t going back outside! We just waited inside our trailer for the heat to die down. And I figured we were lucky it didn’t come to fisticuffs (I love that word, never get to use it!).

I felt so sorry for their wives and little Hatfield and McCoy, as I’m sure they were so embarrassed. And the worst thing is, still today they probably both think they were right! Neither of those men probably sees that they were BOTH wrong!

Idiots.

I bet Richard Dawson never hosted this kind of Family Feud!
