I cannot afford to get behind! Yobling ficlet. Weird jokes. Alright, this is what I wrote, and I hope Sandles21 likes it.
They almost looked like a lovely couple with their daughter on a nice family outing. They even had the silly bickering down.
“How about the tilt-a-whirl?”
“Look at the line.”
“Oh come on. If we rule out every ride with a long line, we might as well sit in the car.”
“She’s got a point, Cath.”
“Two against one. I see how it is.”
Catherine let out a small laugh and consented to ride the bumper cars.
“I used to love that ride as a kid,” she explained.
Warrick and Catherine wanted to check out the amusement park which would serve as a nice, fun date. However, Lindsey’s babysitter cancelled at the last moment and the little girl quickly became part of the plan.
Warrick didn’t mind, and even though she was glad he said it, she still hoped Lindsey would behave. So far things were going smoothly.
“No more rides, Lindsey. I’m tired and it’s getting late.”
“Okay. How about the arcade? They have seats for you to rest and I want to win a stuffed bear or something!”
She consented and they walked towards the arcade.
Lindsey made a beeline for the whack-a-mole game, while the pair sat down nearby to relax. Catherine was tired, but not necessarily from the rides. The long lines took it’s toll on her feet.
“Remind me to wear sneakers next time we come here.”
He chuckled lightly and promised to do so.
“I’m having a nice time.”
Warrick smiled warmly at her, “So am I.”
“I’m sorry about Lindsey-”
“Don’t be. I’m glad she came with us. If I want to be part of your life, I’d like to get to know her even more.”
Catherine was practically swooning.
‘Nothing can ruin this moment…’
“I can’t believe I had to pay 50 tickets for this stupid joke book!”
The two adults turned to see the young blonde stomp over to them. She was holding a thin paper back book. Catherine was a little cross that she ‘ruined the moment’ but Warrick didn’t seem fazed.
“Sounds like you got ripped off,” Warrick looked amused.
Lindsey just shrugged and read a few random jokes out loud.
“Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic and so am I. What the hell?”
“You don’t get it?”
“I get it. It’s just weird. And stupid.”
“What else is in there,” he gave his attention to the teenager.
“What goes up and down and all around?”
“A roller coaster?”
“A drunk mosquito!”
Warrick let out a short laugh, “Okay, that is pretty dumb.”
Catherine got up, “I think I’m going to get some iced tea.”
Warrick just nodded, and kept listening to her daughter read her joke book.
At the counter, the cashier struck up a conversation.
“Is that your daughter? She’s cute.”
“Yeah,” Catherine gave the woman a smile, and a ten dollar bill.
“You’re husband doesn’t look so bad himself,” she winked.
“Husband? No,” Catherine was quick to clarify, “He’s my boyfriend. Not my husband.”
“Oh. Wish I had a guy like that.”
Catherine was tempted to roll her eyes. Warrick was definitely a looker, so she knew that women always gave him a second look. She just didn’t expect a woman to tell her outright.
“Normally guys don’t date women with kids. I should know. But he seems to be getting along perfectly with your little girl.”
The CSI didn’t expect to hear that. Her instincts were off, and as she watched the two laugh and joke around, she realized the man she was with was truly one in a million. She had no right to be mad at Lindsey for tagging along on their ‘date.’
“Ma’am?”
She snapped to attention, turning to the cashier.
“Your change, and your iced tea.”
“Oh. Thank you.”
“No problem.”
Catherine joined the two at the table feeling cheerful again.
“... and the cannibal said, ‘Does this taste funny to you?’”
“Oh yes, the dead clown joke. Classic,” Catherine spoke up.
“Yup. By the way, Warrick wanted to go on one last ride with you.”
He looked a little embarrassed.
“Another ride?” she sighed and sipped her drink, “Okay, Which one?”
“The tunnel of love,” Lindsey made silly ‘kissy faces’ and giggled.
Catherine decided to rethink her no more rides promise.
Not exactly weird jokes. More like lame jokes. :lol: I actually made up the 'drunk mosquito' joke myself, so you know it's dumb! I'm gonna tackle a sandle ficlet suggested by GumDrops. I gotta get going!
