Chapter 32 -- Church and the Undressing

Sunday morning we were awakened by two giggling 13 year olds.  They were
dressed in their briefs, and were drying there hair.  "One, two, three."
and they yanked the covers off of us.

"It's 6:15.  Jeff, you never sleep this late." Beau cajoled him.  Jeff
jumped up and started into the shower, but turned and said, "You two
monsters get dressed.  You are going to church with me."

Denny said, "It's a good thing Randy wasn't built like you two, or I would
still be walking funny."

"Dad, you go back to sleep, and come to the second service with Jason."
Jeff said as he disappeared.

The guys grabbed some breakfast bars, a container of milk and took off.
Jeff quickly ran through the scheduled music and hymns.  The guys were
sitting watching.  Jeff finished and looked at his watch and said, "Guys,
let's try something.  I want you to pretend that you are opera stars.  I
want you to sing The Lord's Prayer.  Just watch me, so you know when you
are to sing,"

The guys did as they were told, and Jeff said, "Let's go the bathroom and
get ready."  They came back and the guys sat in the choir pews with the
soloist.  Jeff quickly talked to the soloist.  She apologized for not
getting there sooner, but she had car trouble. "If you just play the music,
I'll do my best.  This is the first time I have ever sung a solo, and I'm
so nervous."

Jeff thought, `I'm in trouble, today.' He sat down and started to play, as
the people started to come in.  He watched the clock and when he got the
nod, he started the processional.  The service went fine, and when the
soloist started, she was really nervous.  She looked at Jeff and he winked
and she relaxed and did a nice job.

Just before the recessional, Father Gilbert announced, "Today, we have two
remarkable young men who will sing the Lord's Prayer for you, Mr. Beau
Benson, and Mr. Denny Johnson."

Jeff looked at them and mouthed, "You can do it.  Just act like opera
stars."  The guys came out and Jeff started to play and they were watching
and they started.  They soon got into it, and at the last Amen, it was
absolutely silent.  Father Gilbert stood and gave the benediction and
motioned for the two guys to accompany him out.

The guys did as directed.  Everyone told them how good they were, and they
came back to Jeff.  Father Gilbert gave them both a hug, then hugged Miss
Ross and told her she sang beautifully.  Miss Ross left and Anne Campbell
came up to Beau and Denny and said "That was superb."  She turned to Jeff
and said, "You even made Miss Ross sound wonderful.  When we practiced the
other night, I thought for sure that she would fall apart."

Jeff looked at her and said, "I thought you were going to Lincoln?"

"We're leaving now.  I just wanted to see what surprises you would come up
with today." she laughed.

Bobby said, "She knew you would pull something out of your hat."

Everyone left, and Jeff locked down the organ and said, "Guys, let's go get
some breakfast.  The guys had breakfast at the I Hop and then went back to
the church.  They stopped at the bathroom and the guys snuck into the choir
loft so no one would see them.

Jeff was already playing when I arrived with Jason.  I was soon joined by
two 13 year olds, four 11 year olds, one who was holding a baby, and four
five year olds. We filled the entire pew, but that didn't stop Davey. He
came in and we made room for him.

The service went the same as the earlier one, except that Miss Ross' solo
was applauded.  When it came time for the benediction, Father Gilbert
announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Beau Benson and Denny Johnson will be
singing The Lord's Prayer.

The guys had talked over breakfast about how they should sing the song, and
they changed it entirely.  All the adults in the congregation had tears in
their eyes, including me, when they finished.  The guys led Father Gilbert
out and talked to all of the people as they were leaving and then came back
and were met by a crowd congratulating them.

Even Kyle and Joe were there with Mrs. Tice and her husband.  Father
Gilbert came back and said, "Weren't they wonderful.  They did a super job
at the first service, but this service was simply outstanding.  Everyone
started to leave after talking to the guys.

Chris's sister, Cheryl, and her fiancé Todd came up to Jeff and asked,
"Could you play the organ for our wedding?"

"When is it?" Jeff asked.

"The weekend after Joni and Billy's.  I understand that you are also
playing for their wedding, and that Drew and Dina are singing."  Cheryl
turned to Beau and Denny and said, "We'd like you two guys to sing at the
wedding?"

The two guys looked amazed and said, "You what?"

Chris said very, very slowly.  "They want you to sing at their wedding.
They are tone deaf."  He turned to his sister and said, "Don't worry sis,
Jeff will have them trained by then.  They'll do it.

Cheryl continued, "Jeff, Joni tells me you have a great eye for making
people look good.  My four attendants and I are going to be meeting with
Mrs. Baxter in two weeks. I'd like for you to come and give us some ideas."

Jeff said, "I'm flattered.  If I am still alive in two weeks, I would be
glad to meet with you, but I'm no expert."

Out of the clear blue, Josh announced, "We're taking Mother, Aunt Cora
Kenny, Drew, Dina, Lori, Davey, Jason, Beau, Denny, Chris, Mickey, Jack and
Jeff to Norfolk.  We have reservations for lunch at The Family Inn in West
Point.  Kyle called his brother, who is the manager there, and he is
expecting us in about 45 minutes.  If anyone has to go to the bathroom, do
so now.  There was a mad scramble as Jeff locked up the organ and went to
the bathroom.

When he came back, Josh said, "Jeff, you drive the van with the guys and
Jack, I'll drive Jack's car with Mother, Aunt Cora and Ben and Drew can
drive Jack's old car with the 16 year olds. We'll lead the parade."

Jeff tossed his keys to Sammy and said, "Take my car home, please."  We
left in a convoy for Norfolk.  We stopped at the restaurant where we were
met by the manager, Kyle's brother, Russ.  He seated us in an alcove with
two tables for six and one for four.  Drew took his grandmother through the
line, and Beau took Mrs. T.  Just as they got to the fried chicken, a staff
member brought some fresh chicken. A lady rushed in front of Beau and said,
"I saw these breasts first." and plopped them on her plate.

Beau said, "I wasn't going to take them anyway, because we don't want to
get fat."

Beau and Mrs. Tillison were just about through the line when the woman's
husband came up to Beau and said, "How dare you call my wife fat?" as he
poked Beau in the arm.

Mrs. T. said, "Excuse me, sir." as she poked the jerk in the chest.  "I
heard what Mr. Benson said, and he said we weren't going to eat the
chicken, which your wife so rudely pushed in to grab, because we didn't
want to get fat.  Now, I suggest you go sit down and finish feeding your
fat face."

I looked at Jeff and he was seething.  He got a small plate of food and
just picked.  I could see him watching the couple, but because my back was
to them, I couldn't see what was going on.  Jeff got up and talked to
Kyle's brother.  Russ handed him a slip and then made a couple phone calls.
All of a sudden two policemen arrived and were standing by the exits.

Jeff picked up a glass of milk and talked to the 16 year olds.  They got up
and followed him.  It was like all eyes in the restaurant were on him.  He
walked toward the table and seemingly tripped and his milk flew all over
the couple and their food.

"You clumsy fool.  We'll sue this restaurant for damages."  The man said,
as he stood up.

"I don't work here sir.  I'm just a paying guest, like the rest of these
people here.  Guys, let's get this man's coat off him, and get it clean for
him."  Drew and Kenny pulled if off, and held it over the table and all
sorts of food and silverware fell out of the pockets.

"Ladies, maybe you should help his Mrs. off with her jacket." As he picked
up her knitting bag, and all sorts of food fell out.  She had even put the
food in baggies."

She quickly shed her jacket and Dina turned it upside down and some more
things fell out.

"Now, unless you want the ladies to undress you, I suggest you take the
table linen out of your bra." Jeff said.  The woman pulled out some linen
napkins.

Jeff handed the man the check, and said, "Here is the bill for the food you
ruined today.  We don't take credit cards, so unless you want to work it
off in the kitchen, I suggest you pay, and pay now."

The man pulled out his wallet and pulled out the $102.00 he had in it, and
handed it to Jeff.

Jeff said, "Thank you for dining here, but don't come back again."

The couple left and the police followed them out, Jeff handed the money to
Russ, and came back to his food.  All of the guests in the restaurant
applauded.  Jeff finally started to eat when an elderly couple came over to
Jeff.  The lady began, "Young man, you did something today, that I have
been wanting to do for a couple of months."

Jeff stood and visited with them and had just sat down, when Russ brought a
man to the table.  Russ said, "This is Mr. Keystone.  He owns this
restaurant."

Jeff stood and shook his hand.  "Young man, thank you for solving a problem
for us.  We knew that couple was bilking us, but we couldn't prove it.  All
your dinners are on me today."

Jeff started to protest, but Aunt Cora took his arm and shook her head.
Jeff looked at Mr. Keystone and said, "Thank you sir.  That's very kind.
When we left the restaurant, I noticed Mrs. Tillison tossed a $50.00 bill
on the table.  The staff and clientele all applauded again as we left.

Editor's Notes:

Jeff seems to always be at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time,
depending on how you look at it.  Those scumbags got off too easy I think.
