We've been punked!!

I should've expected it. When either of my sisters leave after visiting, they "plant" the ugliest, tackiest trinkets they could find in recent months in various hidden places in our house. Karen and her kids had their way with our house while we were at work and we returned to the items featured in these pics.
The coffee mug, "Data" from Star Trek, which I'd secretly planted in Kristy's cabinet found it's way onto my mantle...having turned into a planter itself.
A mushroom candle holder, that Mandy had noticed but not realized what it was or why it was there, was tastefully displayed.

Then we have the Mardi Gras mask...that made me jump our of my skin. Karen or Houston placed it on the metal frame of the kitchen light. When I walked into the kitchen, my head only inches from the mask, I ducked and fled thinking it was a bat or tarantula. Never mind that the only tarantula's around here are in museums. The fact that Mandy was in the kitchen seeing my spasm didn't help maintain my masculine demeanor. Thanks sis.

And finally, they left a green foam/rubber frog in one of our plants. I think Mandy has taken it to work, since it matches her company's mascot.

Good job girls...
But remember that revenge is sweet...and I've already found a most worthy item for our next visit. Do you hear that sound? Oh yeah, that's the sound of a storm coming and it's bringin' the sweet taste of shock and awe.

Ha, I must say that "Data" has taken on a new look with his new "MJ-do" added.
His old look can be seen by checking the July 31 (2006) entry at http://splendafan.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html--copy and paste into URL address.

There may be more punks yet undiscovered. Karen found some good ones! Maybe she's keeping the others for the next visit?

Love,
Mom

My errant children...after such excellent breeding and schooling. Planting frogs and Data heads...

I sense that there is a book in all of this, somewhere. Help me title it...will you? Something like, "Confessions from within the Cuckoo's Nest"..or..."Just wait until you Visit Next Time!"...or,

"Tacky-ness is for Siblings.."

I'm with Mom...you'd better search more diligently to assure that there's not a dream catcher in your bathroom window or a bull's wedding tackle swinging from your bumper.

And as for Dad's book titles...hmm. I like repurposing famous old classic titles for our needs, like "Inherit the Tacky" or "The Grapes of Crap."
