Day 128- Uncle Ted

Howdy!

Coming Home in three days!!

Memory #128

                    This next story is a two parter and kind of involves the camp I went to and also my mom's awesome and wonderful prankster alter ego. Our first experience with this camp was so awesome that both my mom and I knew we were going to try and attend again the next year but with even more ammo up our sleeves. My mom immediately started planning for awesome and fun pranks (and above all else-harmless) that we could have for next year, when my mom got excited about something there was no stopping her. Not even when you pointed out that there was a whole year before we would really need to worry about getting supplies for camp pranks, there was no stopping her. My mom was also obsessed with the movie Weekend at Bernie's. If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up, watch it, love it, repeat. My mom came to the conclusion that the best prank prop ever would be. A stuffed mannequin...by the name of Uncle Ted. If you've been in our pool house, you will know that Uncle Ted lives there because my family is strange. 

                      This is Uncle Ted, my mother bought, clothed and named him. The name Ted is derived from a period where Sam thought it was hilarious to refer to everyone as Ted instead of their real name. Strange family. I know. There are a lot of really good memories that I had with Uncle Ted and my mother that I will get into probably tomorrow or at a later date but the original purpose of Uncle Ted was to be used as a prank for Camp the next year.Unfortunately we never got to take Uncle Ted on his camping adventure because of a death in the family but don't you worry we got plenty of use out of Uncle Ted. Uncle Ted is a hilarious and excellent reminder of my mom's humor and a lot of the goofy things that my mom used to do with him.

Love always,
