Last night was the annual lock in event we do for our school auction. Michele’s dad won it. Michele’s daughter was the recipient. It was a great group of kids.
I got there late because of Denis’ birthday celebrations. I tried to convince him to join us at the lock in to continue his birthday party, but he declined. Because I was late to the lock in, I decided to play a little prank. I dressed in my dark bathrobe and a hood and came in a side door of the gym (where everyone was gathered when I got to school). I walked into the gym without saying anything. I really freaked out Kim, Michele, and Peggy. Ha! The kids weren’t scared – they were mostly confused. Except Bryn, who said he was walking towards me to take me on.
The evening included all the usual festivities:
Sleeping bag races in the hallway-
Movie watching-
And sleeping in the hallway-
It was a fun night. And we actually did get some sleep. I think I’ll be moving a little slowly today though.
When you walked in, this is what I saw:

When I’m startled, I jump, when I’m scared, I scream, when I’m petrified … I really am.
(and may I direct you to your post of April 16th, paragraph 3, last sentence … )
That’s a perfect picture Peggy! We won’t mention the bad word I yelled out once Brad exposed himself.
I think it’s great how the three of us were so terrified that we took no steps to protect the kids under our care! We were literally frozen in fear.
……..wait a minute……….someone “exposed” himself? with students present??!! I’m hoping you just meant “identified himself”….or am I going to have to have a talk with someone on Monday…?
Ummm, Brad’s in trou-ble!
The only thing I saw Brad expose was his foot when he smelled his sock. BTW: Is it considered rude to turn down an invitation to smell someone’s sock? And is it impolite to not reciprocate such an offer? If yes, I do apologize and will try to use better manners when I’m not so tired.
Carol – using the word “exposed” was just more fun, but I totally meant “identified himself.” I know Brad threatens to expose his bare chest on occasion, but the only skin I saw was his belly when he stretched this morning!
Michele–the 1st step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
Ditto.
Could there be a more uncomfortable place to sleep? Ever? The cold, hard, cement/tiled floor of a school hallway…
Oh, to be kids again and not care in the least.
Lloyd wants to know how much the evening went for.
I think you should just buy the whole Death outfit to wear all the time – hooded robe, sickle, empty eye sockets.
This year we only shelled out $500. I would have gone as high as $1,000 (I was in charge of my father’s checkbook) but the competition wasn’t as bad this year. We paid a lot more for David’s lock-in two years ago – I think $1,200? That’s what grandfathers are for.
Poppop also bought a week of dress down for Michael – that went for $300. It just depends on who is bidding and how much drinking has taken place prior to that item going up for bid. I was perfectly sober so it wasn’t as much fun – ha!
