An Unfortunate, Silly, Sad, Never-to-be-Repeated Oversight

We have some dear friends, the Corn-on-the-Cob Family. Mr. Corn-on-the-Cob is Buffalo Wing's best friend. I have enjoyed getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Corn-on-the-Cob since the beginning of mine and BW's relationship. Mr. Corn-on-the-Cob was the first friend of BW's that I met, and he and his family welcomed me, then a stranger, with open arms. Below is a picture of Mr. Corn-on-the-Cob, giving the Best Man's toast at our wedding:
Somehow, I forgot to mention that during our vacation, we will be spending time with the Corn-on-the-Cobs and their (adorable) children. It was an oversight that simply shouldn't have happened. We love the Corn-on-the-Cobs! How could I have been so forgetful? I don't know. So when I found out that I had overlooked including in my previous post that we'd be visiting the COTC family, I felt like this:


At any rate, the mistake has been duly noted and corrected.

Classic prose! I can say that the Corn-on-the-cob family feels reconciled and so looking forward to seeing you and your adorable kids (sorry - your little GENII gals and the small but "frecken" genius boy of yours) during the "Sickle family Auto Tour of a Lifetime" sponsored by America's Corn Growers and E85 distributors all across the fruited plain (do you get to where jumpsuits with cool logos and decals like NASCAR?)!

Happy traveling...
Love,
Mr. Corn-on-the-Cob speaking for the Mrs. and all the little ears!

Our jumpsuits will be the likes of which that you, and Ricky Bobby, have never seen.

Sponsors? That's a great idea! Wish we'd of thought of it sooner. I'm not down with wearing the firesuits though. See ya soon!
