Spin: Tricky Toilet Paper

When I was a teenager. The rule was that I had to go to church any time the doors were open. My grandfather is a retired Nazarene Minister, so my Mom enforced this rule. Well I hung out with the Preacher's daughter and a few other kids from church. About every other weekend we would toilet paper someones house. Most of the time it was boys against girls. But every so often we would go after the Musical Director's house - he was single and annoyed by most of us. We were stupid and had to always clean up his house the next day.
One particular TP night, we went to my friend Tony's (guy) house with a full arsenal: TP, forks, egg, and shaving cream. You've seen how to do the TP, well we even did the cars. The forks are placed in the grass pointy side up and the shaving cream goes on the windows of the cars. Some one made the mistake of writing Gotcha on the trunk of the car with cream and it stained it for a long time. The eggs go in the drain pipes and behind bushes. I drove the get away car, which was a van - this is before mini-van's. It was a lot of fun until, we got called out at the beginning of Sunday School and were told we had to clean it up before the service started. After that TP-ing was never the same.

I have also been banned from practical jokes...but that will have to wait until April Fools Day.

Hi! Visiting from Sprite's Keeper!

I feel like I really missed out on this teenage right of passage. I never go to TP anyone's house! I did egg a car once, and I don't even think I've ever admitted it before! You're the first to know!

Oh, you were the TP girl! I never had the guts to do it but there were a few people who I wanted to teach a lesson... to bad I was a wuss.

Ha! TP, huh? I never did that when I was a kid, you'll see why when I spin on Friday, I was so sheltered. Great spin! You're linked and sorry I'm late. I was at the movies. Shia Lebouf. Nuff said. :-)

I never TPed either, apparently you're the cool kid on the block. It sounds like a lot of fun except for the cleaning up part.

This has been very educational! I now know where to look and what to look for when the neighborhood kids get through with my house. We live near a bunch of punks. *sigh*
