She sat down and switched the station from the baseball game to "Entertainment Tonight" or another show like that. Just as we thought, my wife looked for the remote and found the universal one. As I got up from the sofa, I sneaked the remote control into my pocket.
AVENUE FLO SPECIAL DELIVERY WHERE IS THE STRIPED SOCK TV
One night, he and I were watching the ball game on TV when my wife came in and told him it was trash night. I suppose he takes after me in that respect. Also they are relatively harmless, as the outhouse gag for example. The best pranks however are the ones that take some real thought. Somehow it did not look like such a good idea the next day as we were cleaning the windows. In fact one night my brother and I soaped our own windows at home in hopes of making us look less likely as suspects. Now that I look back, maybe they knew that their kids were doing some "soaping" as well. Perhaps the fact that they would have their children clean it off is the reason. My parents never seemed to let it bother them. When I was growing up at home, our windows were "soaped" every year. I do, however, wonder if the local police department took credit for preventing further outhouse misdemeanors. As the years went by, and more and more of the area's farmland was sold off and developed, I suppose that the town's supply of outhouses dried up, and another community tradition died quietly. It posed a challenge to the police year after year to prevent this, but somehow the pranksters prevailed in this mischief night tradition. I remember, as I rode the school bus to school on Halloween day, seeing the outhouse on the same bank's lawn on the same day every year. Harmless mischief can be fun, and it can give the neighbors something to talk and laugh about. A night of innocent mischief may have been good for a neighborhood's morale, had it not turned into "vandalism night".
