The Postcards for Mom Pranksters

Next, Shelly:

Hi Will-
I don't have a super fun story or anything for my mom but she's probably the coolest lady in the world....my dad rocks, too. I work about a mile from their house. They're both pretty young (born in 1951, but don't tell her I told you that part!) Mom married my Dad at 21 had my older sister in 1973, had me in '76, and had my other sister in '79. She was a stay at home Mom (Soooo June Cleaver) until we were all in school, when she took a job as an "office manager" but she'd still get out of work early enough to pick us up & drag us to all of our sports practices, Dance classes, etc. She's been working at that office ever since.

Now, Her Mom lives with them at their house- she just turned 90. ...and Mom & Dad take care of her, too. She & my dad are happily married. There's no big tragedy or reason that she'd "need it" more than anyone else. She's just fun & it would be fun to do this to her. Even my extended family is really close & we're known for doing random pranks... one year only about 6 years or so ago- my parents went on a TP spree... on my dad's brother's birthdays (he has 7 brothers) they went in the middle of the night to TP the brother's house. Nobody knew who it was until the end of the year when my Dad was the only one who's birthday was peaceful! Everyone was amused- no harm done- but that's the sort of geeked out family I have. Everyone loves a good gag.

My Dad has a PO box for work that he has to check every day, so I could totally get him in on it to pick up her mail even if she couldn't. It would be a breeze for me to drop by the house in the afternoon to pick up gems that Dad passes my way & I'd scan them at work... Or it can be a gag on them both & I can still snag stuff pretty easily.

Anyway- I'm sure there's a Mom out there that need a pick-me-up. If there's one of those- I'd vote for her too. But if you're looking for just cool people to bamboozle (that word is almost as ancient as "hoot") my mom/my parents is/are it.

Okay- I guess that's all I have to say. :)
