We just got wrapped

"Wrapping" a house is throwing toilet paper in the yard, in the trees, everywhere. When I was a kid, you wrapped the houses of people you DIDN'T like.

Nowadays, it's allegedly an honor to get wrapped (at least, it's an honor to those that don't have to clean it up!). For girls, anyway.

My wife and son are at my in-law's, preparing for another Garage Sale from Hell (which I have avoided, yay me!) so it's just me and my daughter and the dog. I was just about to load up Thursday's "The Office" on the DVR when my dog barked. I looked out the front door to see what was happening, and saw the toilet paper.

I got my daughter and said, "Quick! We're being wrapped! Go get 'em!" She caught them, and now they've all loaded up in one of the mother's car (yes, this was a SUPERVISED wrapping) and are out causing mischief.

Such is the life of the parent of a 12-year-old girl.

Yeah, but she and the girls cleaned it up so it's all good.

I won't let my daughter go wrapping. I told her that if she did it, she had to show up at the house the next morning and clean it up.

Wrapped? We used to call that TP'ed (Toilet Papered). I never did it,but we had it done to our house. Much better than having it egged. nod

Dang, I had a bunch of toilet paper you could have used, but it's all gone now. sad

Hey, I'm about to turn 50 and one guy said the most important rule to live by starting that age is "Never trust a fart".

I wouldn't trust a fart as far as I could throw one.
