Happy Birthday Ernie!

Erin is the king of pranks- so it was only fitting that he be pranked for his birthday. I think it's safe to say we pulled one over on him! Last week Dad had to replace a toilet at home- for most of the week the toilet has sat at the end of the driveway waiting to be picked up. The bright idea popped into my head- how great would it be to put this toilet on Erin's front porch. What made it even better was that Erin literally just moved into this house last weekend. So- with a little scheming my bright idea became a reality. I called Jan on my way home yesterday afternoon- she told me he was working until 8, so we only had a few hours to work with. To add excitement to our adventure the weather was not very cooperative. At just the time we needed to leave my house with the toilet in tow- a summer storm blew in. I'm talking torrential downpour with hurricane like winds!!! Jan and I didn't let this stand in our way! We put on her raincoats and went about our business!



Notice the "2" and "4" balloons = Erin's 24th birthday.... details details





Tootsie Rolls look an awful lot like turds...




You will notice all the writing covering the toilet- each phrase was an inside joke.


I was expecting a phone call the minute Erin got home. However- because of his oblivious one-track mind he walked right past the toilet without noticing it. When he finally saw it- he just laughed... although I think he did have to do a double-take at the tootsie-roll turds!
