When I turned 50 my prankster sister sent me this hugh package. It arrived when I had the telephone repairman and alarm repairman, and I had a real estate appraiser at my house. They thought it was very thoughtful of my sister to think of my birthday....until I opened it.
A large bag of depends, menapause powder, old age douche bag, old age talc powder deodorant, past hot flash tea "to give you the desire", black fake roses, a big flower flannel gown, a red hat pin, and a red hat sweatshirt,...etc. The men were rolling they were laughing so hard. Dummy me had opened it at the kitchen bar where they were near by and came to watch. I was so embarrassed, finally I gave in and laughed too. In the back of my mind, I thought "In a couple of years you will be there too! Revenge is sweet, even more so because I've had three years to work on it." Everytime I send her a card or email, or talk to her I gently remind her of her birthday coming, the big 50. It has gotten to be a game between us. :bike:
Oh, she called the next day to see if I was mad at her about sort of going overboard. My reply was it was so thoughtful I must be at least that thoughtful on her's. :aetsch: My mom says the two of us haven't grown up but it is fun.
I still have all the boxes of powders and the depends and stuff so she will get thoses back and....well, I need ideas. I have to ship things that way, my husband thought about making a old timey wooden coffin and putting dead flowers in it (now that would be mean...too mean) so I need a lot of ideas. Her birthday is in January so I have time to get whatever done. Be creative and please give lots of ideas, she only turns fifty once and this is it.
Lucky for me my sister and I are very close.:stupido2:
