We were the most innovative pair of pubescent hooligans east of the Mississippi. It was your idea to tie an oversized stuffed teddy bear to a giant makeshift crucifix in the back yard just to see the neighbor’s reaction.
The bear, with its head lolling to one side and its tongue sticking from its mouth, sat out in the rain for three days before anyone noticed. Then we were simply asked to take it down. It was very anticlimactic. We were disappointed so we set the entire creation on fire. I don’t think that’s what they meant by “take it down”.
Nice…made me giggle
Very clever write. The end gave me a good laugh.
I don’t know why you didn’t think of burning the giant teddy bear on a crucifix in the first place, but I’m glad you made the choice eventually. Innovative indeed.
