Don’t Mess with Redheads

One day, I decided a girls’ day trip was in order and I knew just the place to go. I set the date and time, told the girls what to wear and when to be ready. 

When I give them specifics for clothing or type of shoes, they get a bit nervous. Red and the Judge have learned to just go with it, but Spike said, “Where are we going?” My reply was the same as always, “I can’t tell you. It’s a secret!” 

Red and Spike are redheaded cousins. Judge is their cousin, too. The limbs of their family tree go every which way with a few twisted, very twisted, branches. The song, “I’m My Own Grandpa,” might give you some idea of what their tree looks like. Those three gals were my companions for the day.

We loaded up and headed north. Our first stop was one of the best burger joints around. The burgers are yummy, scrumptious, and the menu has almost every kind of burger you can imagine. We had just enough time for our relaxing meal and some laughter before heading to our new adventure.

We parked downtown and walked up the street. I opened the door that read, “Civil Axe Throwing,” walked up the stairs and looked back. The girls came through the door and looked mean at me. They threw virtual axes at me and their eyes said, “We’re doing what?”

After getting our instructions, we tried our hand at axe throwing. Now, I’ll just tell you, I’m not great at throwing axes. The Judge is pretty good at it, even though that’s not her weapon of choice.

Now the redheaded girls? You’d better stay out of their way. Don’t mess with redheads! They can turn on a dime and slash you with super speed daggers with just one flash of their eyes. Before you know it, you can be brought down with secret ninja moves that appear from nowhere. When redheaded girls are perturbed (a nice word for mad), keep a wide berth. 

It was no time at all before those gals were hitting the bullseye. By the time our scores were tallied, I admit that I was not in the running for the top three positions. To my defense, I do plan the BEST adventures! 

BTW – I did get a couple of bullseyes. (However, if I would have had a two-headed axe, I would have had twice as many chances.)

A couple of things you might need to know about redheads:
1) redheaded bear bait can run faster than you think
2) don’t bet against a redheaded gal at an axe throwing contest
