At 6:00 last night we decided to have Joey’s parents over for dinner. So we rushed around and made sure we truly did have enough food for 4 people, then we all sat down to eat a nice meal of chicken marsala, biscuits and some other stuff that I can’t remember right now.
The Lauras and I were planning to leave around 7:00ish from our place to go shopping for some Christmas gifts. Our SF group got a couple of names of needs DTS student’s children, and so we planned to have a toy-shopping evening. Super fun.
Well, Laura #1 showed up at 7:00 and was kind of confused when she saw 2 other people in our house that she didn’t recognize. She, naturally, thought she’d got the time/date/place wrong and was screwing up our dinner. We assured her that she was right on schedule, we’d just juggled around our plans.
Than…FIL#1 got a tricksy look on his face. “I should have answered the door and freaked you out! Made you think you had the wrong place and everything!” He said to Laura #1, who was sitting on our couch. Poor Laura #1.
Joey laughed and laughed. “You have to do that when Laura #2 comes in a few minutes. And I’ll take a picture of her face.”
Even poorer Laura #2!
“She can handle it,” Laura #1 said with a little giggle.
I decided the safest place to stay out of this mess was in the kitchen. So I left Laura #1 on the couch and started on the pile of dirty dishes we’d accumulated as we made dinner. About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Joey and FIL#1 sprang into action. (I have never seen either one of them move quite so fast before.) Joey yelled, “Just a minute!” and FIL#1 took his place by the door.
FIL#1 opened the front door and said “hi” as Joey snapped a picture, and there stood poor Laura #2, just as confused as can be.
“What is going ON?!” Laura #2 asked as FIL#1 let her in the house. She was seriously confused.
Joey explained the prank and Laura #2 said she’d have been even more confused if Joey hadn’t screwed it up by yelling “just a minute” the way he did. (Seriously, Joey.)
“That picture’s going on your blog tomorrow, isn’t it,” Laura #2 bemoaned.
(Of course it is. I mean seriously, look at that amazing look on her face?!)
We all had a good laugh, mostly at Laura #2′s expense, and us girls headed out to go shopping. A good time was had by all.
Well, I think all. Hehehe…
