Punked!

 

Let me start off by saying that we are very fond of our neighbors directly to the north of us.  They are the ones that gave us the tip when this home went up for sale.  They are the ones that used to be my Sunday School teachers many moons ago at Highland Comm. Church.   They are the ones that I work with at MEI.  They are caring, friendly and we really couldn't ask for better neighbors.  Now, our neighbor whom I will call 'P' LOVES his grass.  He even re-sodded his entire front lawn this spring by himself.  He mows it faithfully, fertilizes it, trims it, edges it and waters it.  He waters it A LOT.  And even though he only waters it during the prescribed times by the city he doesn't follow his watering days.  Everyone on the street has a brown and crispy lawn but his is lush and green.  A certain someone and I decided it would be very fun to pull a prank on the lawn-lover.   

We wrote up a fake by-law warning ticket and put it on his front step on a Friday night.  Keith and I thought for sure he'd tell us about it because we often chat over the fence but all was silent over the weekend.  Since we were having the block party on Sunday we knew we'd have to 'tell all' before Monday so he wouldn't phone the city or anything like that.  Well to make a long story short, he thought it was an actual ticket and was all set to PAY it!  He even called the city over the weekend and left them a voicemail asking why he was being singled out for a ticket.  When we told him at the block party he simply could not believe we would do such a thing to him and he laughed and laughed!  He was happy to be out of the doghouse with his wife.  The neighbors all had a big laugh as well as 'P' is well known up and down the street for the love of his lawn.  We got him so good and now he warns us to watch our backs!  Bring it on...we dare ya!
