Revenge

Oh...this is fun...!!! Everett and I had told our kids a while ago that we will be making a list of the things we'll do at their homes when they are on their own. It all started with the usual nagging..."Clean after yourself. Put away the cheese will you?" etc. etc....

So my hubby said that our revenge will be to "Do unto others... in this case us to them. If you have teens you'll relate, if not wait and see. Of course the kids are laughing thinking it's a big joke. This is what we came up with so far. Oh, everything doesn't apply to every child, and it may had happened at different seasons. Some exaggerations apply :)

When we visit their home:
~On our way in to their home we'll spit on the bushes
~We will open a bottle water, drink a sip and leave the rest on the counter
~When we are thirsty again we will open another bottle
~We will belch as loudly as possible
~When we are called on it we'll respond we can't help it
~We will take our shoes off and leave them in the way to trip over and fling our socks across the room
~We will take the cheese out of the fridge in the summer and leave it out for hours, or maybe for ever until someone else puts it away.
~We will brush our teeth and spit all the way up on the mirrors and faucets
~We will wipe the sink and leave the dirty wipe on the counter
~When we wipe our mouth we will ball the towel and jam it in the towel holder
~When we open a paper towel roll we will never put in on the dispenser and leave the wrapper on the floor
~We'll take our dinner dishes to the living room and leave them (we'll make the mess but we are not cleaning it up)
~When it gets dark we'll turn every light on
~When we need a snack we'll open the fridge and freezer doors and loiter
~When we clip our nails we'll leave them for someone else to clean up


When they take us out to dinner:
~We will only look at the prices and choose the most expensive meal
~We have no intention of paying for the meal but that won't stop us from saying we are ready to go
~Every meal we will suggest we eat out and they pay

When they invite us over to meet their future in-laws:
~We will complain about going
~We will be late
~We will stand with our hands in our pockets
~After dinner we'll play video games

On their wedding day:
~We will be late
~We will wear jeans and tennis shoes

If we travel together overnight:
~We will insist on high quality hotels with a pool and then just watch TV
~We will try to take the best bed

I'm sure there are more and in time we will be adding to the list. We had a big chuckle working on this one.
