Dad's Retirement Party.

My dad retired from Local 420 Steamfitters Union on May 23rd this year. It was his 58th birthday. Bill and I had a retirement dinner for him at Morton's Steakhouse in the King of Prussia Mall. The food was great. Brenna and Valerie had a great time together (Keagan is still too young to party with those two). The dinner was nice. We had a couple bottles of wine. There was an incident however. There was this table of 4 which included a 60-ish couple and a 70-ish couple. Apparently, they were none too happy that we had a 1 and a 2 year old in the restaurant. They made several under their breath comments during the evening. However, at one point the younger of the two women yelled at Brenna to be quiet and sit down. So, Bill got into a little shouting match with them. Amazingly, Bill didn't use one profanity. He did manage to call the older lady a mummy after she called him an asshole. I am not sure, but I think this could be a first in the history of insults. Does anybody out there know of the word mummy being hurled as a insult in an argument? Here are some pictures of the night:
