After dinner, Chet decided to go out with his friends leaving you and your dad home alone. You decide to pull what you consider the best prank ever, your going to scare your dad. He always is hiding around corners and jumping out in front of you, then when you scream he calls you a sissy. Now’s your change to get him back.
While your dads in the living room flipping thru the sports and news channels you sneak down stairs and using the remote make yourself 2 feet tall. This will be the perfect height to sneak around the furniture unnoticed.
After pinching in the commands you set the remote on the table in the hallway. And hit enter. Probably not the best idea of where to set it because once you have reduced in size you can no longer reach it. But you think after scaring your dad he will get it for you and change you back to normal.
Looking around the corner, the back of dads recliner is facing you but to a slight slant. All you can see is his hand occasionally reaching to the small table along side the chair for his beer. He didn’t plan of getting up any time soon apparently since there were 3 unopened beer on a wine bucket filled with ice. You could also see by the angle his feet up on the foot rest of the recliner. His huge socked feet crossed at the ankles as he wiggles his toes.
Quietly you sneak around the back of the recliner and move quickly behind the sofa. You found some of your marbles on the floor and decide to use them to make noises to get you dads attention. You pop one behind the recliner which clinks to dads left and he turns his head. He sees nothing. You do it again. Another clink then the marble disappears under the chair. He looks again. You chuckle and he hears you.
“Runt, is that you?” he calls over. You’re too small for him to see as, even as he cranes his neck to see.
Your last marble is tossed and your dads getting mad. Thinking “Someone” is messing with him. He gets up out of his recliner and goes to inspect the noise. Upon doing so you sneak over and hide under the little table by the recliner.
Finding nothing he returns to his chair. You lay in wait waiting for him to reach for your beer then when he does you reach up grabbing his hand. “BOOGIE-BOOGIE-BOOGIE !” you shout, just as he does to you when he scares you.
Your dad jumps out of the chair visibly shaken.
While you laugh hysterically. You look up noticing that your dad is not amused. He orders you out from under the table. You sleek out and stand there. His jaw drops. “What the?????”
“What happened to you?” he questions.
Between laughs, your explain. He turns angrily and heads for the table where you told him the remote is. He returns with it. He looks really mad.
“You think that’s funny huh? Making yourself small with something you should not have in the first place?? Well I think you need to be taught a lesson young man.”
This time a smile crosses his face as the smile on yours fades.
