Pure Mean-ness!

One of my favorite past-times as a child was to kick back any chance I got on Sunday afternoons and read the Sunday comics. There was something about those colorful pages that just drew me in. I loved it. Well, as you well know, I occasionally check them out online since I don't "draw" the paper, as the old folks say. In other words, I do not get the Sunday paper anymore. Yesterday I found one that took me back to moment in time to a memory that mom and I have. It was a bright idea we had to play a trick on my dad. Just for meanness.

See, Mom and Dad live in the "sticks" in rural Alabama, so some of the things that we are accustomed to in the "city" are things that they don't know about. One of those things happen to be the little vibrating blocks that restaurants hand you to let you know when your table or your food is ready. In this instance, it was Zaxby's letting us know that our food was ready. Mom and I decided to hand it off to Dad since he was totally oblivious to what was bound to happen and the extent to which they vibrate. So, we were sitting at the table and Dad was kinda "lost in thought" not paying much attention, so it didn't take much convincing for Mom to place it in his back pocket of his pants. He sat down to converse with us...and we waited.....trying not to howl with laughter as to what was coming.

To make this long story short, we knew the exact minute the buzzer vibrated. He probably still has chronic bruises on his knees where he jumped. He turned around and looked at the seat for a second like it had something to do with what was going on in his pocket.

Then he realized what trick we had played.......


That's why this comic strip was so hilarious to me.! Just thought I'd share to start this wonderful labor day off to a smiling start!!!

Later gators!
