I agree. We had kids a couple of months ago ringing the door bell as a prank. My DH hid behind the door and waited for them. Just as they rang the bell he flung open the door and scared the begeebers out of them, the kid fell off the porch laughing along with my DH. Then they came back and wanted him to scare them again. It was all in good clean -no harm- fun!

They come back 2 or 3 days later, retrieve the flamingos, and ask THAT homeowner if there's someone they want to prank for a fee, and on it goes. It's pretty funny!

Now, the mailbox is funny. Our cousin was upset many years ago with the mailman so he trapped a wild cat and put it in the mailbox. Boy did he get whooped for that one. |
I remember that so well!!!!!! We had three Football Homecomings and three toilet paperings. It is a fun time for the kids doing it and thay talk about for years after. It cerainly isn't a TERRIBLE stunt!!!

we've been TPd several times. we didn't know if it was we were liked or if we were not. I guess it's because they liked us?

Oh, yes, this has happened to us, too. A couple years ago the kids put shredded paper all over our yard!!! And one year one of my son's friends wrapped my son's car in Saran wrap!
I didn't like the shredded paper. Also, one stinker shot at the house with a paint ball gun! |

Never mind that it happened on Sunday night and we all had either work or school on Monday! We took care of it Monday evening, but she was a real grump about it and seemed to think it was somehow our fault for 'allowing' it to happen at all. the first week after I moved here, I went and bought a 35$ redwood post, real pretty mailbox, brass street numbers and dug the post hole myself for my brand new mailbox and 2 days later kids went by and beat it down w/ baseball bats! 2 days. (the box was at the road 1/4 mile from the house)so much for southern hospitality. I went to the PO that afternoon and got a PO box and havent spoken to (most of- one neighbor and his brother way down the road come over, very nice guys) the neighbors for 17 yrs now and dont intend to. No one came forward, no one came to fix or help or anything. Just someones kids in a pickup riding the roads having "fun". |
the house across the street from us was covered with post-it notes last Friday. That was a really funny sight!
