Senior Prank 2010
Every year, at the close of school, the question all over the nation, in every High School, is what shall we do for our Senior Prank. And every parent hopes that their Senior will choose something fun, but that wont hurt anyone or anything so as to bring upon themselves the wrath of school and city authorities with thier threats of not being able to graduate. Such was the case with LLoyd and I with Jordyn and her Senior Class Prank. I was pleasantly surprised however, when I learned what they did, and how they did it. I thought they were quite clever, and quite organized as there was over 50 seniors who participated. This year, one of the Seniors talked a teacher, who shall not be named, into letting him hide in the school until the designated hour of midnight, when he would let the others in to perform thier prank. No breaking in, no foul! Several students over the course of a week, went around to every store in our area, and bought over 50,000 plastic cups of various colors, and pretty much wiped the town out of cups. With a few buckets of water and lots of team work, they were able to fill each cup of water, and stretegically place it on the floor of the mall area that is the entrance to our school. Every classroom door, office door and entrance door was blocked with these cups of water. In the middle of the floor, blue cups, turned upside down made the number "10" for 2010. In order to have done this, they would obviously have to start at one end, and work thier way to the one of the halls. Jordyn said that it was quite inspiring to see her Senior class work so well together, forming assembly lines to fill each cup and place them without knocking any of them over. It took less than an hour to do, and they had tons of fun. One of our police force and his companion actually caught them in the act, but when he saw what they were doing, told the seniors, "hurry, dont mess with anything, and you never saw me!" That, of course, made it even better...they almost had permission!
The next morning, when the staff arrived at the school, and could not enter without knocking over cups of water, or picking it all up before any of the students did, we had a few not happy employees, but all in all, we got a good chuckle from the school board and most of the staff. School was delayed about 30 minutes, which made the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshman happy. The Seniors stayed in bed that morning because it was Senior ditch day.
Jordyn sent me a text when it was all over to show us what a masterpiece it was, and then told me she would be home soon. I love my fun-loving, but responsible Senior!
causing tons of pain on the way. They were definitely moving and so it was all done as quickly as possible. The doctor was very young, but he did not waste much time to get us going with the surgeries. Only one stone at a time could be blasted so as not to do any damage to the kidneys. After about 4 trips to Flagstaff, and 3 surgeries, and lots of anxiety on Lloyds part, he is now stone free from these little buggers. Until the next stones are formed, we will enjoy life as normal.
are way tall and the grass needs to be mowed twice a week at least, but the grass and weeds are so wet, that it gums up the mower. Oh well, I guess we will just enjoy the blessings we are recieving. Wild flowers everywhere and the lightning shows are amazing!
