It All Started at a Sleepover

So I have a handful of stories I still want to write up here before I leave on my mission. I'll definitely try to do that. Here is the first of the lineup.

Generally speaking with girls that means a crazy night full of gossip, boys, and girlie things. This party was no exception. There were three girls, me, Abby Anderson and Courtney Carter. I can definitely be crazy, but I have to work my way up to it. These two girls are downright crazy, especially with all the crazy feeding off each other.

After settling in, we three chatted up a storm. Courtney filled us in on a boy she had gone on a date with, who was going to call during the sleepover. We were all giddy with excitement. A boy?! During the sleepover!! Duh she would put him on speakerphone.

As our excitement increased, Courtney realized she didn't want to talk for very long, she would rather spend time with us. Thus a plan was formed. Courtney would give a signal when she was ready to stop talking and we would pretend to slam my finger in a door, causing an emergency where she was needed and would have to hang up.

It was a good plan, however it was not good enough. It had to be more realistic. We found a strand of cheap beads to slam in the door so the door wouldn't completely shut and sound closer to a finger stuck in the door. Even that wasn't good enough. We decided to make my finger look the part as well. We applied marker and smudged it around until it looked bruised, though not swollen. Then we took pictures on Courtney's phone so we could send a picture in case he questioned anything.

When he called we did everything as planned. He didn't question anything (to my knowledge), Courtney got off the phone quickly, and we had an enjoyable evening. It was such a random thing to do (and kind of unnecessary) but it definitely made the sleepover memorable.

Tampons for Robert

Freshman year Kara and I got really into getting free stuff from online. I don't remember the website but they sent products in the hope that you would buy them. We looked through hundreds of items to find the best things for ourselves. As we looked we noticed a lot of weird things that were meant for very specific people like babies, the elderly etc. I decided it would be a good idea to prank our friends from this website using those awkward things (Kara refused to join in).

I put in my email and added our FHE brothers' address and names into the system. I did a few different things, like diapers, tampons and baby formula, and each would be sent to a different person. Most of the things were supposed to take 6-8 weeks so we had to wait patiently. In actuality it took longer for everything to come, some of which never came, except for the tampons.

The tampons came after about a month. At first it was a single sample and our FHE brother Robert thought it was a weird mistake. Then a couple weeks later he got a second one. Apparently we got him on a mailing list of some sort and he kept getting more.

Robert realized after a few tampon samples that someone had deliberately done this to him but he was not willing to admit it to anyone out of embarrassment. For the longest time, we had no idea he had gotten his sample or the extra ones. Somehow he managed to keep his roommates from telling us. Luckily he was really close to our roommate Sarah and told her to which she immediately told me and Kara. We had to live with our prank being a secret. But in the end, it was still hilarious knowing the outcome.
