I'm going up to play a trick on TeenMidlo

[Midlodemocrat]

My friend and I are going to drive up to the school and move the girls' cars to different spots.

God, I kill myself.

[ohiosmith]

1. You should seriously consider seeking the help of a qualified professional.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Ha. I AM a qualified professional.

:rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

2. Move them to each others' spots.

Do this about twice a week without saying anything to her. See what happens. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

7. The only problem is my son who won't figure out where the car

is so he will call me to come pick him up.

You know, Blue Camry vs. Red Corolla....exactly the same. :eyes:

[LynneSin]

3. Man you better not show up to a DU gathering - you're way to crazy to hang with us

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Hm. Jealous because you never thought of it.

[LynneSin]

11. Yeah, right.....

:eyes:

:hide:

:pals:

[democracyindanger]

4. You need a hobby.

I hear scrapbooking is very popular.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. This IS my hobby.

Torturing my daughter. You can't imagine how much fun it is.

Last night, I had a meeting at her high school and as I was leaving she was calling to me from the gym because the girls basketball team was playing. She asked about the meeting, etc., and then told me to leave.

I told her I couldn't leave until her friend Tyren across the gym came to visit me. She had to call him to come out of the bleachers.

I think at some point she will probably smother me while I sleep.

[democracyindanger]

28. She won't smother you in your sleep.

She'll just become a full-blown teenager with full-blown parental resentment issues. Far worse.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. LOL. Actually, she is 16 1/2 and we have a great relationship

Mainly because we do a lot of laughing at stuff.

[Hugin]

12. Hooking

Rugs... Is also a very interesting and rewarding hobby.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rug_making

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Not nearly as much fun as torturing TeenMidlo.

I have elevated it to an art form.

Walking with her and three friends at the mall recently, I turned around and screamed at her "If you don't stop following me, I'm calling security".

That poor kid. She so needs a normal mom.

[Hugin]

22. Yep, I've been known to...

play my fair share of pranks on my little cherub.

I fully realize, someday, I will pay the dues... When I'm in my golden years.

I can see her now, parking me in my wheelchair on the top of a hill with the
brakes off.

:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

25. My son routinely reminds me that he is the one picking my nursing home.

:scared:

[Little Wing]

26. *pfft*

My father would just start screaming at the top of his lungs.

That's about when I started walking 30 feet behind them.

[matcom]

5. i'm texting her a warning now

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

10. GAH! Don't do that. That little rat is probably over her texting minutes.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

13. Don't you have a Ph.D. in Psych or something?

Poor TeenMidlo...

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Where do you think I got this idea from?

:eyes:


:bounce:

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

31. That's what I figured -- hehehehe

[tigereye]

37. you should write a book!

lemme know, so I can order some! :rofl:

[kmla]

15. While you are at it, you should change all of her radio button presets.

Either to country stations or classical stations.

Whichever bugs her most.

Just to be ornery.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Ooh, I like how you think.

:bounce:

[swimboy]

18. You could move the seat every day for a week

and then move it the other way for a week.

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Maybe I'll take the car and get it painted!

That would totally kill her.

:rofl:

[mikeytherat]

27. Done that! Also, re-set all of the radio stations, etc.

Let 'em think the car is possessed.

In my high school circle of friends, most of us had keys to each other's cars, and a friend once "accessorized" my interior with condoms (unwrapped - shift lever, turn stalk, you get the idea) while I was on a first date. Unluckily for him, another of our friends worked at the local cinema, and I found out the awful truth about movie popcorn (and the pre-popped, industrial-sized bags it comes in). Sadly, even this styrofoam-like substance can languish beyond a "reasonable" expiration date, and must be disposed. Two bags will fill a late-70s Datsun B-210 to the roof.

Or so I hear...

:evilgrin:

mikey_the_rat

[Midlodemocrat]

30. That is a hoot.

I even had a 1979 Datsun B-210! My dad helped me get it my senior year of college so I could drive to student teaching.

First car I ever saw without carpeting....:rofl:

[mikeytherat]

32. My bud's '79 B-210 came with an aftermarket pop-up sunroof.

Made it so, so easy.

mikey_the_rat

[Little Wing]

34. what's the awful truth about movie popcorn?

[mikeytherat]

36. That most of the time what you get for popcorn is NOT the small amount

in the "display" popper, but is pre-popped and shipped to the theater in huge, Hefty-style plastic bags.

mikey_the_rat

[LaraMN]

19. Also, get some of these:

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Well, I *would*, but I think she might actually *like* those.

:rofl:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

20. Be prepared for vengeance.

Last time my mom pulled a prank on me, I so nicely and sweetly poured her a glass of wine after a long day of work. Except she got a mouthful of red wine vinegar instead.

Lesson: Don't f with the kids unless you're prepared for payback. They can be more treacherous than you. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

23. I pull so many pranks on her, it would take her a lifetime to

catch up.

I short sheet her bed. I put only 'healthy' things (like liverwurst) in her lunch.

I should feel sorry for her, but alas, I don't.

[texas1928]

33. Put vaseline on the underside of the door handle.

One thing we did was cover the outside windsheild with shoe polish and then we did the inside too. They started cleaning the outside and could not figure out why it was not coming off. Til they figured out that it was on the inside too. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

35. Ooh, I like the vaseline idea.

The shoe polish, not so much. The car does technically belong to moi.

[youthere]

43. Ooooh no no no! No Vaseline!

My brother actually did that to me once and I ended up ripping off two fingernails when my hand slipped. Ouch!

[NewJeffCT]

47. I think just moving the car would be enough

If somebody did something like that to me, I'd be scratching my head after I found my car, thinking maybe I didn't park it where I thought I had.

However, if it was in a new spot and somebody put vaseline under the door handle, adjusted the radio pre-sets, etc, I'd know somebody was playing a joke on me.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!!

That's fucking hilarious. Let me know how it goes.

My mom only used the bad kind of psychological warfare on me. She's not creative enough to have tried something like that. Granted, my mom also didn't drive then, due to "panic attacks." Whatever.

[Midlodemocrat]

39. UPDATE:

Went up to pick up my son and move her car. However, due to the astonishingly bad parking job I encountered, I decided to postpone this particular prank until tomorrow. :eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

40. She probably learned how to park from you.

:eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

42. Shockingly spiteful comment to the woman who has NEVER

I repeat, NEVER had so much as a parking ticket.

And, let's see, you?


:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

44. Neither has LostinVA!

Anyway, most of my parking tickets have come from working in a place with one hour parking. Let's not get into my other traffic violations.

Why must you mock me?

[Midlodemocrat]

45. That's like asking why is the sky blue?

:bounce:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. Yes, but why is the sky blue?

Huh?

[Midlodemocrat]

48. It's part of the gay agenda.

You know. Pastels.

Try to keep up.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. Sorry, I'm a bit slow today.

Somebody wore me out.

[Midlodemocrat]

50. HEY!

No sex threads.


:rofl:


:hide:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. HEY!

I was talking about all the walking I did.

Sicko. Typical Catholic.

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

52. That's *practicing* Catholic

you perv.




:bounce:

[LostinVA]

54. You're right -- she is

Thank the gods.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

56. Fortunately, so are you.

Otherwise, the baby Jesus would cry.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

55. Whatever, Little Miss Practicing Catholic.

Anyway, I am a perv.

[Midlodemocrat]

57. But a hottie, nonetheless.

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

58. *gasp* I'm gonna kick your ass

Flirting with my GF.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. *gasp*

And she's a breeder!

[LostinVA]

60. She's one of those "straight" woman, like when I was in college

Whatever.

:eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

62. Or my sister who makes jello shots, so she can watch the VS Fashion Show with her "roommate."

Of course, my sister also "buys cheap coffee at the Quik Chek."

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

64. She wasn't fooling ANYONE

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

65. Nope, not a single person. She was totally getting it on with the bishop's nephew.

[Midlodemocrat]

63. .

:rofl:

You're a hottie, too, *Kate*

[LostinVA]

66. "Straight" my ass

[LynneSin]

53. LOSER!!!!

Even Michael Moore agrees with me

:hide:

[mvd]

77. Hi, Midlo

Let us know how it goes. It would be funny if you switched the cars, too.

[youthere]

41. You are evil..just plain evil.

Teach me?

[uppityperson]

61. Thank you for cheering me up.

Remind me to be very careful if we ever meet.

[Midlodemocrat]

67. Okay. Do *I* have keys to *your* car?

I didn't think so.


Her own fault for trusting me so much....oh, wait. The car actually belongs to ME!!!!!


:bounce:

[uppityperson]

68. nope. but if I were to visit, I'd make sure it was locked up tightly with windows up.

I think this is very funny. I have hard enough time remembering where I parked anyway, and wish I'd thought of this when UPJr was home.

[Midlodemocrat]

69. Thank you, thank you.

*takes bow*...I'll be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your server.

:bounce:

[TommyO]

70. How about turning the car around?

If TeenMidlo parked head-in, back the car into the same space.

[Midlodemocrat]

71. OMG. Great idea!!!

Thanks.


We ride at dawn.

[TommyO]

81. I thought so too - it's subtle and messes with heads.

[Shine]

72. Oh, you are a mean, mean Mommy.

:D
I'm sure massive amounts of intensive therapy will be the result of your actions.

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

73. Thank God I won't have to pay for it.

I'll just make her *my* patient.

:rofl:

[Shine]

74. Oh, that's funny. Are you a therapist?

My Dad is a therapist, too. I could tell ya stories about what it was like being raised as a teenager by a psychotherapist....:eyes:

Seriously, I turned out OK.....considering. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

75. Pre-kids.

I practiced child/adolescent psychotherapy, but my husband travels and the hours just weren't conducive to being the SAHM I wanted to be.

I don't regret going to school for all that time a bit, though. At some point, I may go back into it here, but who knows?

:hi:

[Shine]

79. Yeah, my sis got her PhD in psychology at UCLA and hasn't used it at all.

she's doing the SAHM thing, too, and is preggers with her second kid.

She doesn't regret any of it, either. Life is too short for regrets, anyway, don't ya think? :hi:

[joneschick]

78. my parental philosophy in a nutshell:

The best that any parent can hope to do is bring up a child that can someday pay for their own therapy.

That's mine and I'm sticking to it.

[Shine]

80. LOL! That's a good one.

thanks, I'll have to remember that....and tell my kids, too!

:rofl:

:hi:

[rug]

76. Get the Assistant Principal's permission first.

[Midlodemocrat]

82. APA?

I fucking hate that guy.

Thanks, rug. Now I won't be able to sleep. :grr:
