A couple of weeks ago, our church held a "Trick or Trunk" alternative to Halloween. It turned out far better than we could have imagined. There were well over 100 people that showed up.
On to the story...
Phyllip and Tyler were talking with their friend, Lawrence, at the Trick or Trunk.
The conversation was already underway when it was overheard. It went like this:
Lawrence: I can't do that! I'm grounded...remember??!!
Phyllip or Tyler (I don't know which): Yeah, but you're only grounded when you're at home!
Lawrence: Oh yeah! (you could tell that he had put 2 and 2 together and the light bulb went on in his head) I'm gonna go tell that to my mom!
Insert David, an adult, who overheard the whole exchange.
David: Lawrence, I don't think that's such a good idea.
Lawrence: Why not?
David: I just wouldn't tell your mom.
Lawrence: Ok.
About 30 minutes go by and Lawrence and my boys race past David again and he hears the following:
Lawrence: I'm going to tell my mom that I'm only grounded at my house!
David: Ok, buddy. You do what you think is best.
Insert Esha (Lawrence's mom)
Lawrence: Hey Mom, did you know that I'm only grounded at home?
Esha: Go tell your dad.
Lawrence runs over to his dad - insert Jeff (his dad).
Lawrence: Hey Dad, did you know that I'm only grounded at home?
Jeff: Nice try, buddy!
Just for the record, Lawrence's parents didn't fall for it!
