Scare tactics and karma

On Saturday night, I stepped outside to deliver cinnamon rolls to a friend picking them up in our driveway. While visiting, a little werewolf slipped into the entryway and waited patiently to jump scare the nerves right out of me (Video below). I screamed, then grabbed Bear and teasingly held him in a headlock. 

And then I realized Bear was looking at me and laughing from across the room. 

Who am I holding in a half Nelson death grip then?!

I yanked the rest of the werewolf mask off scooby doo style to reveal our neighbor boy and Bears closest buddy, Max M. 

Welp

That was embarrassing! Nothing like chasing then pinning someone else’s child down to realize you might have been a little hasty in your reaction. Oopsie!  I released my captive and he was laughing so hard. Phew! 

Sadie texted me later that night apologizing profusely for Max’s wild boy antics. No apology necessary, pretty sure I have ninja skills now or whatever after I assaulted my jump scare attacker 🫠😂   

A while later, Corbin came inside with a couple friends snickering suspiciously. 

The Minkler’s have the cutest skeleton display in their yard, and my teen and friends had sneakily made some uh…rearrangements.  

Now it’s MY turn to apologize to Sadie! Naturally, I send the kids back up the street immediately to undo their naughty trespasses. 

But not before I texted Sadie, who understood the assignment.  She senther husband out to hide in the yard and he jumped out at them wearing a ski mask and chased after them holding a giant lobster claw thing. Corbin said it scared him to death and if Kyle had come out of the woods, “it would have sent me bro. I’d be done for. Passed out dead.” 

He gave them a good scare and Sadie (who thought their prank was hilarious, but not PG!) said that after they finished screaming and Kyle took off his mask all she heard from them (over Kyle’s laughing) was nervous “we’re so sorry sir. Yes sir we will fix it right now sir! We’ll never do it again sir. Sir we promise! Thank you sir for understanding sir!” Like perfectly proper little southern gents.  Hahaha they got exactly what they deserved, the little stinkers, and it was hilarious. They could bent believe I sold them out, but who could resist the opportunity for teen payback via masked karma? This will be Primrose Lore forever.  I love my life!
