Once Peter told everyone he had a surprise for us at the lake house. He wouldn't tell anyone what it was, we had to wait to get there to see it.
Peter got there before all of us and apparently decided to test out the surprise.
When we got to the lake house, there was one long trail of mowed grass leading up to the lake and a ride on lawnmower stuck in the mud at the edge of it.

peter and a wedding
Peter's going to be in a wedding party on Saturday and he didn't even realize it until my mom explained to him that this was why he was going to a wedding rehearsal today.
He thought his friend was renting him a tuxedo just so he would look nice.

one hundred years of solitude
My mom and I are discussing one of our favorite books, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Peter says "Hey I read that book!" My mom says "Oh Peter, you never finished it" and Peter responds "Yeah because after the first fifty years I got really lonely."

Little Fish
Peter: Man, I bought about 40 tiny fish for the pond so I could tell the kids that all of the big fish had babies, but every single one of them is gone.
Me: That's weird, what kind of fish were they?
Peter: They're called feeder fish... Oh... oh shit.

Peter's Birthday Lunch
For Peter's birthday, I decided to take him out to lunch at Hooters.
I don't know what I was thinking, really.
Everything went surprisingly well until the waitress asked Peter to guess her age and Peter replied honestly, "37."
This was nothing compared to Peter's decision to dance his way out of Hooters after our lunch was over. I'm pretty sure this was his way of redeeming himself after I complimented his good behavior.
If you've seen Peter dance, you already know it, but it goes something like this: Peter moves his shoulders up and down as he takes two steps forward and two steps back, and then stops abrubtly and points at his sandals to the beat.
He danced his way all the way to the car thinking he was hilarious and that he "got me good" until he realized he had left his phone on the table and had to go back into Hooters and get it.

Peter's Three Day Hangover
I went to Peter's house last Sunday afternoon and asked him to put together Jude's new seesaw for the backyard. His excuse was that he got drunk on Thursday... Thursday.
Two hours later, I called him to harass him some more about being a good grandpa and putting the thing together. He had my three year old niece answer the phone and tell me that "Pop Pop is unavailable."
