Rachael was asked to Homecoming the other night and this is the story.
Last Thursday night we had a knock on our door and when we opened up the door there sat 2 bags of flour with the message "will you go to homecoming with me? (ps. my name is in the flower)."
Yes, we thought it was odd that flour was spelled flower but we didn't see anything in the flowers out front so we dumped the flour into a big black trash sack and Rachael proceeded to search though the flour.
A half hour later her search through the flour was coming up empty. Then we received another knock at the door. This time a flower was sitting on the porch with a little note attached that read "sorry, wrong flower". She searched through the flower for a note that had her suitor's name but there was nothing to be found.
This was her "uh, there isn't anything there" look. The next day Andrew called their friend Taylor who admitted that he was the one who had left the "gifts" and that there was supposed to be a little note stuck between the petals of the flower.
Once she knew who had sent her the invite Rachael needed to give her answer. All I have to say is that pay backs can be brutal. Hee hee hee. She gave him a potted plant and wrote on the pot "my answer is in the flowers". Andrew ran up and left the flowers on Taylor's door while our family all waited in the car around the corner. Rachael would have loved to run but, with her knee still healing from the surgery, the best she could have done is hobble. A few minutes later Andrew ran up to the door to leave the bucket filled with the flour Taylor had given her. She decorated it with plain brown paper and cute stick figures that said things like "this is ridiculous, "what was she thinking", and "how absurd", and put 3 skittles in the middle of the flour that had written on them y, e, and s.
Of course Taylor being the brilliant kid that he is didn't even look in the flowers and when the bucket came he got out the sieve and found the skittles in less than 5 minutes, but the experience was a blast and our family loved being part of the fun!
