This one isnt really that funny, but as I thought it wouldn't work, and it ended up working very well, I will share it. Around dinner time I gave my mom a call, and when she answered I said "mom, I have to tell you something you aren't going to like." "Oh boy", she said, "what did you do?" "Um, well, I dropped out of school and I moved to Colorado." long pause, "Apil fools" I yelled. long pause. "YOU son of a... Im going to get you back so bad. But it will have to wait cause I am in a meeting, so I will call you back. Bye."
A few hours later I get a voicemail, "hey I am just calling you back to let you know that the next time you come home I am going to beat the shit out of you with a big stick, you had me really scared there." I was rolling on the floor at this point. My mom is not a skier and just does not understand my need to get out of this state and be a bum for a few years.
It really feels good to get her this year because she has gotten me bad a few times and I owed her.
