Word It for June
Remember when you were, say, ten? That is what I was doing this weekend when my cousin was here for a visit. One day, who knows why we sought vengeance on my brothers and decided to take matters into our own hands. We went into their room and managed to infuriate them by mixing everything that could be mixed. Tapes where placed in the wrong boxes, dirty laundry folded and placed in the closet, toothbrushes misplaced, pillows replaced, curtains flipped… you get the jist. Needless to say, our prank was not received graciously and our vengeance was (very) short lived. Later that night as I lay in bed I recalled the mother of all pranks, and I was the receiver. I was living in Albuquerque at the time, and was doing something in the kitchen when my little brother and his cute skinny and awkward friend walked in with a sack. They told me they had found a kitten and after catching it were trying to figure out how to keep it (I am a sucker for cats). Wanting to see the kitten, they opened the sack so that I could take a look and go gaga for a few minutes. Screams and blows followed and two kids with a sack ran as fast as their sneakers could take them and as far away as possible. There was no kitten. There was a gargantuan boa constrictor (belonging to a cute skinny and awkward little kid). I am extremely terrified of snakes… Prank is the Word It for June. |
