So, I got the girls good today. It was “quiet time,” that’s our name for Sunday afternoon nap when we should all be in our rooms being quiet. So, I went to check on the girls and they were chatting about life…one in their shared bathroom brushing her hair, one in her room reading a book on her bed. I didn’t plan this at all but it was the perfect timing for a good PRANK! I ran in her room grabbed this stuffed puppy and placed it in on the floor just outside the bathroom. She opened the door and says in her perplexed tone, “..how did that get THERE?.. look, that puppy was on my bed and now it’s right here by the bathroom door.. how did it get there??!!! Isn’t that weird???” She picks it up and puts it back on her bed then goes back into the bathroom. I quickly tippy toe in there and return the pup to the floor near the door. Snickering to myself, I can hardly stand to hold in my laughter…then I run back into the next room and listen again. I don’t know how the timing just happened to work out to let me get away with this but it sure was funny. She opens the door again and says, “.. Wha..what?! How did it get there AGAIN??” “THAT is freaky right?” So, I couldn’t take it any more.. I had to run away to the opposite side of the house to bust out laughing to myself. Ok, I confess, it’s times like this when I can’t deny my dorkiness.
So after “quiet time” I got to enjoy the fantastic story from the girls about how this toy puppy kept appearing at the door of their bathroom. You should have seen the looks on their faces as I tried to blow them off saying, “na.. that’s not true.. you are just kidding.” They had the most serious and concerned looks on their face that I could no longer hold back the laughter. “MOMMY!!! Was that you??? Did you prank us???” We laughed and laughed so hard together! PUPPY POWER!!! Hahaha.. So then one of them put 2 and 2 together and recalled when she found her tiger webkin in the pantry with cracker crumbs on it’s face…. “Oh Mommy! It was you who put my Webkin in the pantry that one time, right!??”
I can hardly wait to see what the next prank will be….
