Okay first of all, Keith, my main cable man, if you happen to come upon the atkinson family blog please don't be offended by this post. You were very polite and efficient at your job. So, thanks.
Yesterday the cable man came to hook up my cable. He politly took off his icky boots, so they wouldn't get ick on my new carpet. Then he started to tell me about this kid that refused to take his shoes off, blah blah blah anyway, that got us talking about how kids these days aren't very respectful. Then Keith whose very talkative by the way says, "My wife used to be a model, back in 92', she's a beautiful woman, so you can imagine how georgeous my daughter is."
OKay, I'm a bit confused, but I nod my head, sure I bet she's pretty. Then he says, "She's got a boyfriend. You ever heard that song 'cleaning my gun' by someone?" (he said the artist I don't remember though).
I said, "Um, I'm not sure I think. . . "
Keith then starts belting the song in my living room. No kidding, not exagerating.
I laugh. He says "That's what I think about when I think of my daughters boyfriend."
Then I say, "You have a nice voice." He did too.
He then goes into a long explanation about how he was on American Idol, 'I may have seen him' he says. I didn't, or I don't remember him. He said he got a ticket to hollywood, but he turned it down because he's a country singer and at the same time he auditioned for Nashville Star, he's in the top twenty for them, watch for him in March-- so he told me. We continue to talk about music and what he likes to sing, and what I like to listen to.
Now Keith has been at my house for an hour. He's standing in my doorway putting on his boots asking me if I like Rascal Flatts, sure I say. Then Keith belts a Rascal Flatts song. Keith stood in my door way and sang to me for about 25 minutes. Then right before he leaves he says, "Oh don't tell anyone I sang to ya, okay. I went to this one ladies house. She saw me on American Idol and begged me to sing to her," (I doubt that by the way, seeing how I hadn't mentioned a thing the first time he belted one out for me) "So, I sang for her, then her husband called up the cable company and complained that I had sereneded her." Don't worry Keith, I won't tell the cable company. :)
P.S. If any of you would like to see Keith perform, he'll be at the white mountain mall Dec 20. Ya, I'm advertising for him now. ha ha ha, seriously one of the funniest things ever.
Weird, just a little strange. Keep your mouth shut when the cable man comes to visit. Well, unless you want a show, I guess.

How funny! I would have felt uncomfortable with him singing to me.
I totally did feel uncomfortable, it was strange, and funny, and just wierd.
Thats hilarious! That cleaning my gun song is my dad's ringtone on my phone...hahaha
That is hilarious! I really don't know what I would have done. I love that song about the gun cleaning, my husband said that will totally be him when Keira grows up and we let her out of the basement to date....ahhh I don't want to even think about it. J/K LOL
Hey Jen, um the name was familiar so I went to their blog and at first I was like wait I have been here but have no clue who they are, but then I put it together that Daryl knows Chris. Do you know them some how or did the find you through my blog.
