When I was, oh, say about thirteen, my sister and I put shaving cream on the phone receiver and told my dad he had a call. When he answered, of course, all he got was an earful of shaving cream. Evidently, shaving cream in your ear causes an unpleasant crackling for some time afterward.
At first dad was angry, but then–presumably once the crackling had stopped–he saw the humor of the whole thing later. Right, Dad?
Anyway, this morning Coco and I talked about playing a practical joke on Daddy. After several possibilities (Coco suggested putting salt on the doorknob), we decided to remove Daddy’s underwear from his drawer and put Coco’s in. Layr was a bit surprised to find the switch and Coco and I found it hysterical.

I was not angry at all. I was very surprised and stood stunned not knowing what had just happened. And after the loud crackling in my ear subsided, you remember I laughed. Your story about Coco wanting to put salt on the door knob and eventually replacing his underwear was hysterical.

I think she got putting butter on the door–I told her we did that to you, too–and putting salt in the sugar bowl mixed up. We’ve got our latest prank ready for tomorrow AM. Sshhhhh
