My Husband is Crazy. He is a also a Youth Pastor. Those two things seem to go hand in hand. He recently just quit his daily grind job to start his own business. I have never seen him so happy and excited (except for the day he married me). He has a lot of extra time now and a flexible schedule. This leaves time for our family and ministry.
We have taken advantage of this new found freedom by having our youth group kids over a lot. They like to hang out and watch movies or go golfing or bake cookies. So the other night after a church wide activity that ended before 11 p.m., we knew we had to do something. It was the end of the summer. We can't end a party that early. School starts this week. So they all crashed at our house. And they brought a Scary Movie. Now the last scary movie I watched was Nightmare on Elm Street part one. Yes, It has been THAT long. I am a Scaredy Cat. I watched most of The Ring Part two through a blanket or watched the reflection in my fireplace screen. After the screamfest ended I had to drive a couple of the girls home. This was at about 2:30 a.m. And I couldn't take my Husband with me. I must really love those teens.
Back to Crazy Larry. The teen boys weren't ready to end the party so they stayed and I hit the sack. The girls decided to call the boys and try to scare them. What they didn't know was the boys were still at our house with Crazy Larry. (And that cell Phones have caller ID) So the boys, directed by my Husband, go over to the girls house and Larry puts on a dark coat and a blanket over his head and stands outside the girl's window and calls them. He tells them what's going inside their house with a freaky voice. Things like "Look outside your window" and "Those are nice red chairs". The girls get a little scared, but who is really upset is the girl's mom. She wakes up and hears them talking to boys on the phone at 4:30 in the morning and can only assume the worst.
Imagine her surprise when she finds out it's the Youth Pastor.

That sounds like a lot of fun! Wish I could have been there... I can do really good scarey voices!
I think I might join that youth group... sounds like a blast.
