GHOSTS OF A DOUBLE BROWN PAST

Matt Yates, 34, was thrown a curveball this morning.

The father of two, devoted husband to Nicola, did his usual morning routine of chasing kids around the house and attempting to enjoy a cup of cold coffee.

While his life seemed just as happy-go-lucky as he is, Matt’s Facebook Memories from 2008  projected a different kind of person.

“‘Oh ffs” he muttered, seeing a photo on his timeline where he was blind drunk at a party with people he hasn’t really heard from in over a decade now.

“I look like a full grown baby who just discovered the alcohol aisle at Pak n Save,” Matt muttered, cringing so hard that he almost pulled a neck muscle, while simultaneously wondering who the guy is he has his arm around.

“What was I even thinking back then? Probably something like, ‘This Double Brown is going to make me the life of the party,’ when really, it just made me the life of a 3-day hangover.”

Nicola, overhearing her husband’s lament, peered over his shoulder. “Oh my god. Is that you?” she asked, half-amused, half-shocked.

Matt let out a defeated sigh. “Yep. That’s me. Baby-faced, bad haircut, and way too much enthusiasm for cheap beer.”

More to come.
