breakfast at my house

I have sage incense in the background now... it's a cooler day,  45ish degree, sun is lovely when you're in it but chilly otherwise for me. Brisk really not cold. The tennis matches were on earlier when dad and I had our morning coffee... I had a memory of my mother and then it started the debates (we do this and I will share more)... 

so I say "dad do you remember when mom spray painted the family jeep silver and took the engine apart?"... 

he's like "what?... she never took the engine apart... " 

but I insisted this so then we had to get my brother involved... I waited as he's in an earlier time zone than us, I made the call and got right to the business of it, I tell the debate happening and brother says... he agrees with me! But the voice wasn't so in agreement I thought and so I started to probe and he says indeed, he has no recoalection of the engine rebuild but did say he recalled mother spray painting the family jeep silver ... hm... I say 

"... well I remember pipes and car parts and such in the lawn or what appeared to be...?"

and he says no, they were empty silver spray cans... 

"...oh..." the bell goes off in my head and I say "dad, you win the donut... mother did not dismantle the engine, she only spray painted the thing, which in itself is an odd thing but it was our mother and her way, wasn't it... "

father accuses me of being a bit like her... "you're crazy"... and then we laughed and that was the morning in my house.
