If At First You Don't Succeed...

Remember when I told you about the antics Jason and I play on each other?  The one about throwing cold water on top of each other while the other is showering?  Well, if you can't, sorry because I can't find the post to link you back to it so you're on your own.

Well, one of my favorite blogs to follow, The Pioneer Woman, gave me a new idea for playing a trick on my husband.  It involves this...

I realize this snake looks very fake.  I picked it up at Wal-Mart yesterday.  I figured with the proper placement it could really scare the daylights out of my poor unsuspecting hubby.  He hates snakes with a fiery passion of undying flames.

So, I left the snake in the truck and waited for Jason to go out back and start up the grill.  Then, I swiftly brought it inside and went to work on my master plan.

I would strategically place the snake in the shower so that Jason would turn on the water, piddle around a bit while it warms up, and then hop on in.  He would then become so scared when he saw the snake that he would hop around, fall, scream, grab the shower curtain, have a heart attack, and everything would come toppling down on top of him.  All while I laugh uncontrollably and pee my pants from the hysteria.

It could really scare a person if they just saw it out of the corner of their eye while standing under the water.

So, I waited all night for him to go take a shower... all the while, laughing on the inside at my ingenuity.  Then, the time came.  He announced he was going to the shower and I almost couldn't control myself any longer.  As soon as he walked off I grabbed the camera and got it ready to go because I was most definitely not going to miss an opportunity to catch Jason screaming like a little girl.

I held my breath to keep from laughing and stood outside the bathroom door...

(The video is very dark, but I was only hoping to get an audio.  Just wait for the end of it)



My plan FAILED!  He wasn't scared at all.  The only person that got scared was me after that bathroom door flew open and I took off running.  He told me to sleep with one eye open because he would get me back.  So, I contemplated putting the snake in one of his drawers to try to scare him again, but decided against it.  Now I have that fake rubber snake hiding in my lingerie drawer...  that is until he reads this.  There is no way I'm letting him use my own trick against me!
