Last week, my husband, and I sat around plotting which household member we would torture with fear. So we sat there and plotted, which one of the household members would we get? One of the girls, too young, we might scar them for live. My mother, too old, we might cause her to have a heart attack. We decided on my nephew Lenny.
Now Lenny deserved it, he had done everything that a young adult male could do to irritate the parents of girls. He had researched porn using the family computer. He had shot squirrels with his bb gun. He had even sunk to the level of eating my infant's baby food from the jar... with the baby spoon. We had had it.
My husband and I decided to solicit the assistance of my mother. My mother was so excited she couldn't wait. We waited to he fell asleep and continued to plot. The children were sleep by now too. "Shazam", my husband shouted. "Honey, go get that ugly mask that the kids are afraid of." Even my 125-pound Lab was terrified of this mask. I hunted through my no-no box and found the mask.
Slowly we crept upstairs, opened Lenny's bedroom door slowly and waited. My mother and I stood outside the room, so we wouldn't wake him. Meanwhile, my husband put on the mask and began slid across the floor and knelt beside his bed. Slowly he rose up to check if Lenny was still in deep sleep. The plan was working.
My husband whispered, "Turn on the light." Done, my mother and I peeped into the room as Glenn began to play with Lenny's hand. Lenny's left eye opened slightly, and my husband growled. Lenny froze mouth wide open, unable to scream just moan. Glenn continued to growl and rise up over Lenny. Lenny's toes were pointing straight out by this time while he was trying to scream. My mother and I were laughing hysterically. Finally, my husband broke down and began to laugh himself. It couldn't have worked out any better.
Later that night, we asked Lenny, what was he thinking? He said that it was his worst fear, a demon coming to get him for all the things he had done in the past. Every time I think of that night I giggle, I only wish I had video taped the entire event, we definitely would have won some money on America's Funniest Home Videos.
Please share your funniest moment. We all need to laugh from time to time.
