Friday Extra: The Plot thickens

The Following is new information that has come to light about Yesterday's post.

It has to do with something I have no recollection of from when I was a child.

If you look at the Photo, that's my Brother Steve in the Blackshirts shirt.

This was posted on Facebook. I commented about the cool shirt. Steve remembers a lot about this. I will paste the relevant exchange below:

Fred Hinsley Nice "Old school" blackshirts shirt, Steve.

Steve Hinsley I don't have the shirt and it looks like I ignored some posts from 3 years ago.

Steve Hinsley The quick story is this: Dad had two Nebraska shirts, the Black shirt above worn by yours truly, and a red one that said Nebraska in whimpy letters. Seriously, it looked like it was bought at a souvenir store. So dad puts 4 pieces of paper in the bag with 2 blank and one each for the shirts. I drew a blank, as usual, and Fred drew the red shirt. Dad made Fred take the red shirt because that is the ticket he drew.

Fred Hinsley Ok - funny. Michele pointed out that line to me too. I'm now thinking the error in my theory is that he'll keep Michele's and when I give him the one I got, he'll say, "There. I know how upset you get when somebody else gets a blackshirts shirt and you don't. This one's for you. You're welcome. Oh for pete's sake, stop crying. You're 49 years old.

So my new theory is Dad's prank is 35 years in the making. I made such a big deal out of not getting the "Blackshirts" shirt, he's making me buy one that he's going to give to me once he has the one he wants from Michele. That's why he was so careful to make sure whatever I got him said "Blackshirts" on it.

Now I'm thinking, I won't even give it to him. I'll just keep it. Hahaha! I win! Me!
