The Infamous Potato Hunt

Sep 03, 2006 12:43

Last night Kurtis was over and Mike had his friend Gord over. The four of us were congregating in the kitchen and that's when it happened...

Somehow we thought it would be funny to take all the potatoes in my Mom's potato basket and hide them all over the kitchen. We started to hide all the potatoes in different locations. It was pretty fun since the basket had a variety of shapes and sizes. We hid the tiny ones under spoons and the biggers ones hung in our light fixture.

Now, you must realize the hillarity of this lies in the "neat freakness" which my mother is...

We left a nice little note in her empty potato basket saying "Your potatoes have been sitting too long and grew legs. Good luck finding 40 scattered potatoes..... next time don't leave your vegetables lying around, OR ELSE!"

As I was leaving the house to take Kurtis home Mom and Dad had just discovered the hunt. She started screaming "OH MY GOD! ALISON!!!" and Dad was like "Alison, are you on drugs?! You need to get a life!!" SOOOO funny!

In the car about 5 minutes into the drive we realize we should call and see how things are going at home. Dad picks up and starts screaming into the phone " Alison! There are potatoes everywhere!! Who thought it would be funny to put a potato on the toilet seat?! I sat on it, and now there is a potato lodged up my bum!! Mom's here picking it out!!" Ahahaha of course he was kidding, but it was soooo funny to hear Dad say the word "butt". Butt's a funny word.

When I got back home Mike and Gord and I were in the kitchen again. We were pretty impressed.... they managed to find most of the potatoes. We decided to leave one last threatening note. Mike took a whole bunch of cutlery and stabbed one potato and left a note with it on the kitchen table saying "Your cutlery is next woman!"

Too funny!!

This morning I woke up and Mom had made us home fries for breakfast. I love my family.
