So, I thought I would share a beautiful story with you. I hope it touches you like it did me...
Last week, I was getting ready for work, putting on my jewelry. Now my jewelry box is about a foot tall with a flip top, pull out drawers and a little cabinet on each side where my necklaces hang. Anyway, I opened the side door of my jewelry box and there was a pair of underwear in there. Superhero underwear. Since they were superhero underwear, I was pretty sure this was not some strange flirtation from my husband. "Well," I thought, "That's a little weird." However, since there is a clothes basket near my dresser, I just figured that Christian had thrown his underwear at his basket, missed, and they had inadvertently gotten closed up in the drawer. So, I threw them in the basket and went on.
I don't wear too many necklaces these days due to the little one, so I did not open the drawer again until this week. Once again, underwear. This time, Star Wars underwear. And I suddenly knew: the underwear were no accident...
Later that afternoon, I asked my son, "Son, is there any reason why I keep finding your underwear in my jewelry box?" The response? Hysterical, side-splitting, couldn't talk laughter. Finally, Christian said, "I thought it would be funny." Well, he was right. It was funny. I can't help it, I've laughed repeatedly myself. It is funny in a seven year old kind of way. Later he said, "I'm not sneaky. I'm just good at practical jokes." I'm pretty sure he gets that from his father...

Ok - that is beyond hilarious! The fact that he kept coming back to do it again and never said anything about it...that is great! He really is good at practical jokes, which means you probably better watch out! Reminds me of a story I heard Marilyn Meberg tell about her and her late husband. One day she was cleaning her kitchen sink with Ajax cleanser. She had to take the sticker off the top and thought it might be fun to put it on the inside of her husband's pants the day before a big client meeting. She placed it in a very 'delicate' spot. He never said a word about finding it in his pants so she was disappointed and thought that he must not have noticed. A few weeks later she was in the middle of leading a women's conference and realized she was feeling somthing scratchy in her bra. After the conference she rushed to the bathroom only to find that her husband had put the Ajax sticker in there. Too funny!
Oh yeah! That is definitely a great practical joke . . especially for a seven year old! Wow . . I am still laughing . . . I just love that little guy!!
