“I smiled and laughed like you, Mavis! I actually was embarrassed my son and a few of his friends didn’t know how to TP. so… being the (former teen expert on TPing) i took them out and taught them to properly throw!

The BEST memory i have as a teen of TP experiences was, learning in advance my house (with probably 20 tall pine trees) was going to be hit one weekend. We had an on-going girls v. boys TP wars… we were laying in wait for them, saw them drive PAST the house (lights off of course) and then come back and start to throw. EXCEPT one guy missed and hit the front door with a roll and we turned on all the flood lights! They scattered like rats!! My mother ran outside and grabbed a HUGE black trash bag full of TP and then ran back inside the house with it. they drove back past the house (lights off of course), parked up the street, sending one guy to collect their bag (heh, heh) he comes and looks all over and tosses his hands in the air back to the guys in the car, like “I have no clue where it went!!”. The gals used all that TP and then some to hit ALL of their houses the following weekend ! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

“At school, we used to glue quarters to the sidewalk. We’d laugh and laugh as our schoolmates tried to unsuccessfully to pick up the quarters.”

Have a Wonderful Weekend!
