Duffy vs 3 fingers My favorite Duffy vs the camera moment was at a graduation party for one of our friends, Badger.
I've talked about Duffy and Penny before but I've never mentioned that we are buddies as well as co-workers. Badger is one of our co-workers and also one of our close friends. For her high school graduation she had a Luau Party, and invited all of our co-workers (aka best buds) as well as her family, whom we all know well. Being a Luau, we dressed in our bathing suits and cute sun dresses...trying to be cute and festive, but no one had any real plans to get wet. The party was a blast: fruity drinks, great grilled food, and of course our great group of friends. As the sun was setting, the idea of a water balloon toss came about and it was GAME ON! We're friends but we are a competitive bunch (it wasn't necessarily about winning the toss, but about not getting wet). One by one partners started getting eliminated; in the end Duffy's team won and she was ECSTATIC about not getting her yellow terri cloth dress wet. After claiming victory our little group started reminiscing about the short lived tournament, when a small water balloon fight broke out at the opposite end of the yard. Tuning out the sound of kids and teenagers pelting eachother with the multi-colored balloons Duffy was completely caught off guard when a 9 year old planted herself before her with one arm stretched back. Duffy's eyes were wide with shock when the 9 year old (Badger's younger cousin) socked her with a water balloon right in the gut.(it was the perfect step, twist, and throw motion-- her P.E teacher should be proud!) The light hearted mood of the party quickly shifted into rage when Duffy spun around and yelled, "That's it! I HATE HER!" Holding back our laughter Mae, Badger`, and I tried reminding Duffy she just became target practice for a fourth grader, and there is really nothing we can do about it. Duffy began to cool down (partly because she just got smacked with a water balloon) as the party started to wind down. Friends started to say their good-byes and send their "best of luck wishes" to Badger for her graduation. It was literally two minutes after Duffy had gotten over the water balloon incident, when a girl standing close to her began to pose for pictures with Badger (this girl had kinda been on our nerves all night). As girl X swung her hand around for a photo moment she accidentally PUNCHED Duffy in the side of the head. A mild 'whoops!'was all girl X had to say for herself and she faced forward with a cheesy smile for her picture. Obviously offended, Duffy sarcastically chuckled, saying 'Its fine!' but once the girl turned her back, Duffy lifted up a fist with a snarl on her face whispering, 'why I oughta....'
Did I mention I was the one taking a picture of Badger and girl X? Because I was...which means i was the first to notice that with one innocent flash of the camera the hilarious moment of Duff's reaction to girl X was caught on a digital screen in front of me! It was pure luck at how perfectly the moment was captured: Badger and girl X with big smiles and Duffy just plain pissed.
lets zoom in....
how funny is that!?!??!
The picture was eventually posted on Facebook and girl X was a little alarmed by it... whatever-she should have said sorry.
Duffy embraces her occasional "LOL" pictures. Personally, without them scrolling through my camera's memory card would be just plain boring.
Editors note:
Duffy, thanks for being such a great sport and helping me find pictures of you that make us all laugh. You are the best!
