A Cowboy and Me

Yee Of Little Faith

August 12, 2018 by Tammy Gilbert

In one of my previous blogs I had mentioned that I had lost a bet to Cowboy. And as much as I hate to admit it to y’all, that man continues to “one up” me on a daily basis.  One would think that after being together as long as we have, I could figure out a way to be one step ahead of him. But do not fear, this gal does not back down from a challenge…even he is wearing a great-fitting pair of wranglers-

So, losing the bet resulted in me watching Bonanza with him…every…single…night. After the 30th episode of Bonanza, I was done D.O.N.E.! Seriously y’all, how many times can Little Joe get shot and how much food can Hos eat in an episode?! I literally want to poke someone’s eyeball out.

As we sit down to watch one more episode I turn to look at Cowboy, okay it was more like a glare-

COWBOY:  What is wrong with you? Why are you giving me the stink eye?

ME:  Which one of your eyeballs do you value the most?

COWBOY:  Why are you asking me that question?

ME:  Because if we watch one more Bonanza episode, I’m gonna need to poke one of them out. So take your pick!

At that time, Boy Wonder calls so I escape into another room hoping that when their conversation ends he’ll either forget about the western or it’ll be over…either way works for me.

COWBOY: (speaking to Boy Wonder) Perfect timing, your mama just told me she was poking out one of my eyeballs.

BOY WONDER:  (chuckling) Are you making her watch Bonanza again?

COWBOY:  A bet is a bet.  And when you lose you have to suffer the consequence. You’d think that after 30 years she would get tired of losing.

BOY WONDER:  Why don’t y’all try Netflix? You’d like the Longmire series. It’s based on a book.

COWBOY:  Where do we do that at?

BOY WONDER (chuckling) It’s on your remote control.

After 30 minutes I walk back into our gathering room and I notice that Cowboy is watching something other than Bonanza (thank the sweet Lord).

ME:  What are you watching?  Is that a movie?  How did you do that? (again with my 3 questions)

As he’s leaning back into Lolita’s arms (yes, I named his recliner)-

COWBOY:  It’s a Netflix series called Longmire.  (Sighing) I’m pretty smart when it comes to technology.  Yep…I’ve got this stuff figured out.

ME:  Ummm, this coming from a person that still has a flip phone.  Next you’re going to tell me that you figured out how to text.

After watching 2 episodes of Longmire we decide to call it a night.  As I walk into our bedroom I notice that I’ve just received a text.

ME:  (talking to Cowboy) You just texted me?

The text:  “Yee of little faith”.

ME:  Sweet Jesus.

’til next Sunday y’all- Tammy
