Lame Party

Up +581 Down

In high school I ended up going to a halloween party at my friend's house whose parents were out of town. All my friends were really into writing music at that point so everyone was too busy arguing about music theory and trying to show each other up on acoustic guitar to do anything else so I decided to leave. I called my mom and sat on the curb outside the house waiting for her to come when a cop car pulled up. The officer came up to me and told me there had been a noise complaint at the house and asked me what was going on. I told him there was a party going on in the backyard and they were just playing music, and directed him to the side gate so he could go see for himself. He laughed and asked me if I wanted to give them a heads up first to hide the alcohol and I told him there was no need because the party was too lame. He walked into the backyard and came out a few minutes later and took a seat next to me on the curb. He told me the party was indeed totally lame and that he didn't feel right leaving me alone on the curb to wait for my mom at that time of night, so we hung out for about fifteen minutes swapping stories about high school parties. When my mom showed up she freaked out about the fact that I was with a cop, but he told her he was just waiting with me and not to worry because I was a good kid who only attended lame parties.
