Snap, Crackle, POP!

awwwwww, the sweet satisfaction of a perfectly-orchestrated practical joke is a wonderful thing.

I'm always looking for some clever way to bug J. Dub gave me my latest idea.

First you get some of these little babies:

Then you very carefully place 3 or 4 under the toilet seat (the one that guys never remember to put down). You want to place them directly under the tab that rests against the actual toilet. You with me on this so far? It takes a little bit of clever maneuvering, but its well worth the time spent.

And then you wait. You wait for your poor, tired, unsuspecting husband to use the facilities. At our house, this happened around 9:00pm Saturday night. I was in bed reading a book. J got up to use the bathroom. I held my breath waiting to see if it would work. SCORE! It was like Armageddon in the bathroom. I started to laugh so hard. You see, the popping begins when you're in a really, really vulnerable position. Not much you can do but just try to wait it out and hope that you come through unscathed.

After J's heart resumed its normal beating pattern, and he realized that he was in no immediate danger, he saw the beauty of the situation. Awesome.

Family members beware: I have like 10 boxes of these things.
