Mitt & Pole

The goal: play a joke on Rojelio's dad

Materials:
an extendable paint pole, an oven mitt, two people with nothing else to do on a Saturday night, a camera to capture the moment, and a change of clothes

The Plan:
1. Put the oven mitt on the pole
2. Bang on the window with the elevated oven mitt
3. Wait for Rojelio's dad to look out the window
4. Have the oven mitt dance in front of the window
5. Laugh until we pee our pants

Outcome:
Everything was going to plan, the mitt was on the pole. Rojelio was able to reach the window no problem . . . he banged . . . we waited . . . he banged again . . . we waited . . . bang . . .wait . . . bang . . . wait . . . bang . . . wait . . .

Maybe his dad thought we were doing work outside. Rojelio tried banging in a rhythm . . . and we waited . . . it was obvious the joke was really on us. Rojelio's dad never looked out the window. He must be sleeping we thought. We abandoned our scheme. Though our joke was unsuccessful we still had fun and laughed trying to pull it off; though not to the point we were peeing our pants.

Rojelio went upstairs to see if his dad really was sleeping. No. He heard us banging the whole time, but thought we were just fixing something downstairs.

Drats! Foiled again!
