A smile to my face...

I am a horrible text messenger person. For some reason I just can't use the text messenger on my phone. The auto word fill in always messes me up. I am also kind of cheap and I don't want to pay for the text data transfer.

Nonetheless, I don't mind receiving text messages. Case in point, last week I got this message:

"Miles, I hope all is well. Do you remember this day 20 years ago? You sprayed me with a fire extinguisher and threw flour all over me. -JD"

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!! It brought an immediate smile to my face because I did remember that day. It didn't seem like it was 20 years ago but it was.

Let me be the first to say that I did not do it alone. There must have been at least 1 other person. Russ was definately involved but I think Brentt might have been involved as well.

Either way, it was JDs birthday and we knew he would be walking home from summer football practice. I thought it would be a good idea if we got some fire extinguishers, fill them up with water, get bags of flour and then throw it on JD after he is soaking wet. BRILLIANT!

We slowly creeped up on JD as he was walking home. We opened up the van doors and sprayed JD with water and then ran out and tossed flour all over him. Then we went home and laughed.

The best part was an hour or so later JD called and said he was tub was clogged up from the flour and it took him about an hour to scrub all the flour off of him. Apparently wet flour gets cakey and sticky! hahahahahhahahaha!! I am such a genius!

Why can't the fun days of summer be filled like that now that I am older??

miles, i'm sure there are people (friends) of yours who would be happy to oblige by dousing you with water & flour...

I don't know where you come up with this crap...

and the fact that he knew down to the DAY it happened, i can clearly tell that you completely traumatized poor JD...
