Rule #2: Don't Trust Anyone

We have some family rules. Family Rule #1 is: Always Stay Together. We made this rule after an incident involving hiking, park rangers and a black bear. Rule #2 is: Don't Trust Anyone, as in, our own family members. We like to prank each other.

Shannon and Ben went on a trip to California last week, leaving their car and house keys behind at my house. What were they thinking? Brian and Lindsey promptly put into action a plan they hatched over a year ago. They replaced existing framed pictures with pictures of us hanging out in S&B's apartment. Here's a sampling of the framed photos.

We have: Bruce foraging in their fridge:

Playing board games,

Dancing with golf clubs,

Dancing the Haka,

A nice portrait,

Brian and Peter's addition to the engagement picture collection,

And Peter, in the bathroom. Note: nothing unhygienic was happening in this picture.

Mission accomplished. When Shannon noticed the pictures, she immediately called Peter and blamed him for the prank. Like I said, Don't Trust Anyone.
