Last night our yard was "forked" and "tee-peed" by the neighbor boys. We are lucky to have a group of kids the same age in our neighborhood and my youngest daughter (and her friends) love to hate the neighbor boys who are in their grade and go to the same school.
The problem was, last night, my daughter and her crew were sleeping over at another girls house—–so they could not shriek and scream with pretend mad voices when the boys were doing their "forking". Finally, after the boys "Ding Dong Ditched" the doorbell for a THIRD time—-I called the mom of one of the boys —-not because I was mad—-but so she’d break it to them that girls were not here.
Do you want to know the difference between a "muffia mom" and a "white trash mom"? This FORKING incident is a perfect example. Instead of calling the mom, mad about the forks, I called her and laughed. Then I went over to her house and she made me a new, very yummy cocktail. We laughed our butts off and then I went home.
THAT my friends, is the WHITE TRASH MOM way to handle FORKING. Class dismissed.

Forking is the annoying practice of sticking forks in your lawn. They are hard to see and it’s “o so much fun” to get them out of the ground the next day. Perfect for kids, bad for adults.
Brilliant! But what is forking? I somehow missed learning about that when my kids were TP’ing.
