Shenanigans according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary means: Silly or high-spirited behavior; mischief
Love Shenanigans, think they should be compulsory for all during economic hard times. Have instigated a double dose this week and have enjoyed immensely.
First bout of Shenanigans happened when lovely bf Teri told me that the home school group that we founded over the summer, have started to doubt my existance. We created new secular home school with a view to making a group that was inclusive regardless of race, religion or mental stabilty (that part just for the two of us really), and found it took off wonderfully. A weekly park day has ensued but alas have not yet attended even one due to the fact that they are being held in the States and we, as yet, are still in Spain. Due to unavailabilty of teleportation as a method of transportation available to the masses am restricted (and to be fair restriction does bring out the worst kind of Shenaniganism in me). Is also a fact that Doctor Who is far too busy saving the human race for the billionth time (really you’d think he’s just give up, am very glad he does not) and has no time for running a taxi service between Spain and the USA, so am forced to wait to meet all my future friends.
Well now it transpires that due to many factors (too complicated to expand on here), my travel dates have been pushed back several times. My lovely friend Teri has been to all these park get togethers and has been telling people I will be back eventually but yet again delayed!!! Unfortunately people are starting to think she has an imaginary friend (me), that she is quite loopy. It was even suggested that she has two facebook accounts and is making all my posts herself. I object! I think, therefore I am!!!!
We decided to have a little fun! Can only apologize for what happened next we are out of control!
Teri’s Rotweiler puppy has just had an operation to shall we say ‘curb his enthusiasm’ and several lovely people enquired as to his well being. I persuaded Teri (really I said it once and she was like YEAH, do it) to send me a picture of the lovely Easy, that’s his name (and he is now free to live up to it) with his cone of shame. Posted said picture on my own profile, sent to the group, saying “Great to see everyone today at the park! Thanks to everyone who asked about Easy, he is doing fine! Here is a picture of my sweet boy with his cone of shame!!”
Now Teri and I were fully expecting a barrage of comments saying things like, oops you posted on your fake Sarah profile instead of your own. Or we knew it, you are looney! Anything like that! Went to bed cos was way late here fully expecting that upon waking the following morning there would be a bunch of hilarity awaiting me. No! Nothing! Not one ‘like’, comment, nothing! Had to wait for time difference to catch up so could discuss with Teri. Horrified we were! How can anyone let such a golden opportunity pass them by? Tried giving a little prod when Teri posted under the photo “Roses are red, violets are blue. I’m schizophrenic and so am I.” Thought that would for sure do it,but no! Then to really highlight it she posted “Sarah is not imaginary, I promise. LOL”. Still nothing.
At this time preferring to give benefit of the doubt, decided that if everyone thought Teri really cucu then maybe afraid to comment. Decided that maybe should give another opportunity, so Teri posted exact same picture and exact same comment! I replied with exact same things also, repeated whole thing posting as her not me! Thinking this would tip everyone off to the fun and frolics, flood gates would open, and hilarity commence………..nothing! Unbelievable! Maybe new group really afraid right now, forming break away group as we speak, who knows. Maybe not used to being with people who like Shenanagins! Be not afraid people, we not only like but encourage Shenanagins, it keeps us sane (well kinda)!!!
