(This may look like harmless play in the sand…but read on!)
Seth and Brett took my kids to the park for an hour. When we went to pick Brett up for some Red Balloon shopping, the kids ran to my car and told me I had to get out to see what Dash was doing. I ignored it a few times, but their constant persisting finally got me out there. As I walked over, they were all acting a little funny, and Seth had his video camera out, so I could tell that they had set up a booby trap for me to walk in — and the Dash story was just a ploy.
So in good fun, but with a trick of my own up my sleeve, I headed in the direction of the trap.
I watched them all walk over the trap, with an extra large step in one particular area.
So I started walking — and out of the corner of my eye, I could see all of the kids almost bubble with excitement. As I got to the spot, I made sure that I was going to take that same extra large step. And with a smile on my face, I was just about to say “Suckas!!!” when my foot went in too far, and I totally bit it!
They were all dying. Especially Seth, who knew I was onto it. Afterwards, I told them I guessed correctly, but must have miscalculated.
Needless to say, my shoe had sand in it the rest of the day, and I kept getting annoyed at the kids — and myself for being so clueless.
(For the record, Scout and Christian were the stinky culprits who had already caught a few other victims in their traps.)
