Last night Chelsea came over for a few hours. She took the kids to a Halloween party and then we hung out and watched Heroes while she was fooling around on her laptop.
Shortly before she went home, her computer was sitting closed on the floor. She stood up to go to the bathroom and her cell phone flew off of her lap, bouncing off the top of the laptop. I made a comment about how it’s not a good idea to go throwing things at a laptop because screen breakage is inevitable but she just laughed me off.
Before she left, I told her that I needed to put something on her computer. She assumed that it was something cool like a game and handed over her laptop. Little did she know that I had no intentions of putting a game on her system. While she was gone, I replaced her very cool Batman wallpaper with this image:
When she came back into the room, I told her that she really should be more careful with where she is throwing her phone and showed her the screen with the new wallpaper. Her heart immediately skipped a few beats and her stomach dropped into her shoes while she made a huge shocked gasp. At this point, I wish that I could have played it up more but I started laughing so hard that she knew that she’d been fooled. Lucky for me, she also soon saw the humor in my little practical joke and didn’t bother to change the wallpaper back. I’m guessing that her husband, Nick, will also be on the receiving end of this joke. I can hardly wait to hear how he reacts.

It made Nick a little nervous when he first looked at the screen, but then he saw how pixelated it was and realized a joke had been played. Nick isn’t as gullible as I am.
