Barbecue Sauce On Prom Night

My grandmother and I were sitting in the kitchen one evening, waiting for my younger sister to return from the beauty parlor. It was prom night, and we were both excited for her. I was sewing the final stitches in the hem of her gown, and Grandma was preparing a batch of her extra-special barbecue sauce, for the after-prom dinner to be held in the gym. It was my sister's senior prom, and she had been nominated for prom queen, so we were all atwitter. Our excitement turned to dismay on her arrival. Her hair was a disaster.

With tears running down her cheeks, my sister explained she had asked for a light blonde frosting, but something went wrong with the mix, and the more the beautician tried to fix it, the worse it got. It was really bad. Her hair was green, pink, and orange all mixed together, and short of a buzz cut, I couldn't imagine any way to fix it in time for the prom. Grandma looked up from the almost finished barbecue sauce, and told my sister to never mind, as soon as the sauce was done, she'd set things right. With that, she squeezed a couple of fresh limes into the brew on the stove, followed by a shot glass of tequila, into the barbecue sauce, not grandma.
