I never cared for this holiday, but little boys look forward to it more than Thanksgiving. So I tried to help them celebrate the day.
Last night we tried to switch the boys in their beds while they slept. But they both woke up wide-eyed when we lifted them, so we aborted the plan. Laughing, we put them back in their normal beds. This morning neither kid had any recollection about the disturbance. We should have pushed on!
Jack and I froze a bowl of cereal and milk and served it to Sam this morning. He was almost too sleepy to understand he was being pranked. “My spoon is stuck!” He exclaimed. He caught on quickly and, after his real bowl of cereal, pried out his spoon and ate his “ice cream cereal.” Gross.
After school I helped Sam to color the bathroom sink aerator, so Jack got surprised with colored water.
On the drive home from school, the kids asked me, as usual, if I baked cookies today. “No, but I made brownies!” “Yesssss!” They inhaled the chocolatey smell when we got inside. I made them wash up while I poured milk, then served them brownies:
Sam was understandably concerned that he wouldn’t be getting any real stuff 😀 See, even harmless pranks are not any fun! I should show them this video as evidence. They were excited to repeat the prank on Ben tonight.
