He's done it. But I did it better!

Luke has a habit of scaring me. Now, to be brutally honest, it doesn't take too much. I seem to jump without much effort. But there are times that he seriously scares me like crazy!

One time, I was talking to Krissa on the phone while in the kitchen getting supper ready. Luke came home from work about that time and scared me so much that I screamed and dropped the phone! My heart didn't stop racing for the next hour! Neither did Krissa's. ;)

That wasn't the only time; there's more. But I'm not going to list each and every one. My fingers would tire from typing. Maybe I should find a phone app where I just checkmark that he's done it again. That would keep a running tally of just how many times...

Anyway....so, I'm continually trying to scare him. Usually, it never works. Except this one time, I had all planned out. And was he ever going to jump out of his skin?! Ohhhhhh, yeah!!!!!!

This photo is proof. Looks like me under the covers, huh?

It was a Monday evening. Luke's birthday actually. (I know, I'm cruel. But like I said, it was going to be GOOD!) I'm usually in bed and sometime already asleep by the time he gets home from handbell rehearsal. I know, I know, I go to bed early, but that fact makes this work. :)

I dimmed the lights, stuffed pillows and blankets under the covers to make it look like me and hid. And waited. And waited. And waited.

Finally, I heard the garage door....I waited.....and tried not to laugh....

Creaking stairs as Luke came up. Just a little bit more.....

Footsteps across our bedroom to my side of the bed. Almost.....

From my closet hiding spot, I could see him start to peek into the covers.....NOW.....

BBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then I collapsed on the bed. Laughing. It worked. 110%!! Did I succeed? Would I really post this if I didn't?! ;)

I think he had recovered by the next morning. :) He's done it, but I did it better! It may have been a once in a lifetime event, but it worked!
