The thrill of the chase..The I heart Haley saga begins..

Well I knew this was coming, I knew it the first time I laid eyes on my girl Haley. She was going to be tall and pretty, people had long asked "what will you do when she is a teenager?" I would always answer smugly in reply, " I can't wait, I love the thrill of the chase!" And so now that Haley is 13 the thrill of the chase has indeed begun. The following is a wonderful tale of a game of cat and mouse, or I should say mice.

I went to the store Thursday night and when I return, at approximately 7:45 pm, I see my husband pacing in front of the house, I think this is fairly odd. He informs me that some kids "ding dong ditched" our house and were now running on the trail behind our house which only has 2 exit points. Aaahh I think this is it..this is the chase I was referring to. I hop back into the car and proceed to drive down to the first exit point. I was shocked to see not 1 or 2, but about 12 boys running up the path. I get out of the car and run towards them, they took one look at me and turned around the lot of them running away.

me: "yeah you better run JACKASSSES!"

I run back to the car and continue to the only place left for them to come out of, either they come out this way, or they go back and face my husband. I drive down to the end of the street and there they all are. At this point they give up and several of the boys figured they were caught and came forward to take their lumps.

me: "why would you guys do that? I have a sign posted that says DO NOT RING THE DOORBELL, You woke my kid up and now you have pissed me off, why would you do that?"

filthy little boy#1: "well, we thought Haley might like a little joke"

me: "well then I guess it would have been a lot more funnier if Haley were actually HOME."

filthy little boy#2 : " oh she isn't home?"

me: "uuhh noooo, why? have you got a crush on Haley?"

filthy little boys #1-5: "no!"

Filthy little boys #6-12: "yes!"

it's at this point that I vomit a little in my mouth.

Me: "well listen dudes, if you're going to do crap like that then you had better make damn sure you are both faster AND smarter than ME!"

I then pull away, leaving these little vermin to stand there staring like deer in headlights. Tee Hee! I am accomplishing my mission to earn a reputation of "Haley's psycho mother"
