Yesterday's Cryptoquip: IF A SHEPHERD STOPPED LOOKING AFTER HIS FLOCK, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT'S DIS-TENDED. Today's Cryptoquip Clue: A equals S HOW MY PARENTS MET By Adam Lott, creative writing major PART 5 OF A 5-PART SERIES "I'm all fired up! my dad told mom later that evening. 'Because you're a really pretty girl and usually really pretty girls aren't nice at all—they don't have to be. But you're not like that, you're the prettiest and nicest person I've ever met.' Mymom is always half embarrassed to tell the story of how she and my dad met. But really, there's no other way it could've happened. Had they met at a church potluck, for instance, it would not have been awe-inspiring to watch my dad eat potato salad. Luckily, though, my mom first met my dad at Freemen's in 1976. That night he lit a disco inferno in her heart that is still burning 32 years later. Freemen's punctuated its pulsating disco beats with the sweet and simple twang of a country two step and my father could do it all. His Hustle was as strong as his West Texas Waltz and my poor mother had no choice. When she joined him on the dance floor that night, some part of her knew that she was going to be dancing with David Lott for as long as they both would live. Not that my dad had much choice in the matter either. How do you not fall in love with the prettiest and nicest person you've ever met? How do you not fall in love with the most amazing dancer you've ever seen? The fact is, you do. You don't have any other choice. We want to hear YOUR story for a chance at $100 in 250 words or less, tell us the story of how your parents met.
