Nate's quilt

Okay, so my sweet Mom is a quilter. She loves fabric and has a million different prints. Recently, she has been on a quest to find the "perfect" fabric for Nate's quilt. She has a football print for Jake and The Very Hungry Caterpillar print for Allie's girl bug room. But Nate's is a challenge. He likes soccer, rock collecting, rock climbing, animals, hunting, fishing, reptiles, camping....etc...you know, "guy stuff. So Grammy was trying to tie all of his interests into one fabric and THIS is what she came up with:
Nate: "Uh, Mom? I don't have to have that in my room do I?"
Dad: "What is that for?"
Nate: "I think it's for my quilt?"
Dad: "What? NO!!! That is NOT coming home with us!!!"
Nate: "Maybe Gram didn't see it before she bought it?"
Dad: "Maybe Gram doesn't know that you are 10 and that is sick!!!!!!"
Mom: "HAA HAAA HAAA HA HAA HAA HAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!"
Nate: "It's not funny! I think she doesn't know that I like, well I am supposed to like girls, but I am 10!!!!!! I can still think girls are gross can't I? Maybe I won't in front of Gram anymore...."
Mom: "HAAA HAAA HAA HAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAA!!!!!!!!!"

In Gram's defense: she only saw a portion of one guy and he just looked like he was rock climbing (in a straight way). She had no intention of giving Nate a complex or fear of "The Outdoorsy Type" man....toooooooo funny Mom! We love ya!!!

Carla sent me over and i have to say, that is the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time!! Is that from Carson's (queer eye for the straight guy) YMCA line?

Stacy said...

I have been laughing all day about this.
I totally want this to be my lap quilt when I am 85 and in a nursing home. Won't that be the funniest?

That is too funny! Gary is quite jealous and wants a blanket too. I think it is so sweet of your mom to try to find something for everyone of her grandkids. Nate is just too diverse!!!

Brooke S said...

She should make it and sell it on e-bay. She could make a lot of money. There has to be a "HAPPY CAMPER" out there some where who would love this quilt..

What a sweet granny for even making the quilts for the kidos. It's an effort of love.
Hugs

DeVries Family said...

ANYTHING for Nath...Very fitting and appropriate gift for such a manly man!!

Jon, Paige, and The Boys said...

So, when is Bryan taking the Natester to see "Brokeback Mountain"? It is the natural next step after getting a quilt like that! Good times, good times. Paige and I thought we were going to die laughing!!

Michael, Michelle, Lil, and Pay-pay said...
