GOTCHA

September '07 - To give a little background for the following pictures my Grandaddy and I have always enjoyed cutting up and playing jokes on each other. For the longest time we would just lick our finger and make a mark on the invisible score board in the air. Somehow about a year or so ago it turned into something even bigger when he mailed me an empty package with nothing but a piece of paper in it that said "Gotcha". So now we take turns trying to one-up each other.

When my grandparents came to visit this last time we had everyone over for dinner. Before they arrived Aaron and I were trying to come up with some different "Gotcha" ideas. We were having grilled steak and chicken for dinner so I decided to make a "road-kill" steak. I looked up a picture of a raccoon on the Internet and created my little friend within about 15 minutes. (I have to brag a little because even I was impressed). Anyway, when they arrived at the house Grandaddy handed me a gift, as well as the kids. Not even a bit suspicious, I opened the gift and found a real score board - complete with skewed results. We all know that I have more points. :) That was his gotcha. I was so glad that I had come up with something to get him right back. When we sat down for dinner I asked him if he would like steak or chicken. When he said steak I took his plate and came back with a road-kill steak. YUM! GOTCHA Grandaddy! I love you!
