Who is mostly liking going to prank you!!
My mom would yell FIRE at the top of her lungs at 5:00 am, only to shuffle all of us kids out the door in our pajamas and bare-feet and lock us out.
My mom would yell EARTHQUAKE at the top of her lungs, only to shuffle all of us kids under the pool table so she could take pictures of our scared faces.
My mom would make homemade pancakes with felt circles cooked in them for us kids and give my dad regular ones and then she would innocently ask us why we were not eating them.
My coworkers taped a sign on my computer that said My name is Shelby I’m single ASK ME OUT!!!
My coworkers also taped a bright orange poster on the back of my car that said I’m single HONK IF YOU WANT A DATE!!
