A Unique Birthday Present
3/12/2013
Long-time readers will recall that we have a neighbor named Sarah who has become a good friend to our family. Recently she turned 15.
I recalled that many months ago she and I had been talking when she mentioned that she would like to someday get a pie smashed in her face. She's very fun and playful, so this didn't surprise me.
I told her my story - that I used to work at Christian camp where counselors and staff sometimes got pies in the face as a fun part of a carnival-type party. So, I have indeed had the privilege. (I'm in the pink shirt in the above picture, from 1997, just seconds before the pie landed on my face)
I also made a mental note to someday surprise Sarah with a pie in the face.
The day has arrived. For her 15th birthday, we gave her a few small gifts. Then I asked her to close her eyes while I got another gift that was a surprise. When she opened her eyes, Wham-o!
What fun! She loved it. I loved doing it.
