When I was a kid I used to hate the Boy Scouts because me and two other kids (collectively called “the dorks”) were always be harassed, bullied and abused by the older “cooler” scouts. But my foster parents were adamant — dropping scouting was not an option.
Camping trips were the worst because away from supervision, the bullies got even worse and they would steal anything from our (dorks) packs that looked good. Any candy, jerky, whatever. No matter how hard we tried to guard our stuff, we would get distracted, our tents would be tossed and our stuff swiped. The other kids would just laugh and say it must have been raccoons.
But before one trip, Greg (one of the dorks) had his sister bake a batch of Ex-lax chocolate brownies. He had read about the idea in a book. He gave us each a package to put in our packs and warned us not to eat them ourselves.
Sure enough, halfway through the five day, church sponsored camp-out, all the “brownies” were stolen (with a bunch of other stuff, too). We just waited. It wasn’t even light’s out before all the “cool” scouts started moaning and rushing towards the latrines. Sometimes not even making it, sometimes just dashing into the trees...
We “dorks” laughed our asses sick. It didn’t take them long to figure out what had happened, especially when Greg sauntered up to the camp fire where they were all huddling, looking queasy and dropped a Chocolate Ex-Lax wrapper into the flames. Making sure they had time to read it first.
They were all still crapping and whining the next day, and two of the parents even came to pick up their poor sick little boys, while us “dorks” had all the sausage and bacon we wanted, instead of not getting any at all, which is what usually happened.
The best part about it was, because it was a church sponsored Boy Scout troop and because the “cool” kids were all leaders or respected members of other church activities that were important to them socially, they could not accuse us without admitting to theft.
Over the next month, all three of us got our butts kicked by the “cool” kids, but I still think it was worth it.
Well, thank goodness!!! I was gonna wait until I finished reading the thread and then ask if there was anything I could do to help, but seeing as it's Saturday morning and I'm only just now getting to it, I really wouldn't be of much good.
Awwww! Thanks! My computer has been down for over a week, and this was a perfect “welcome back!”
One of my nieces was humiliated by a young man at a youth function years ago. It was about this time of year, and she devised the ultimate pay-back.
She and her mom and a couple of siblings got together and made some easter baskets. They boiled some eggs and dyed them, thinking accurately, that the guys would think they were raw, and not touch them.
What they ate instead were the chocolate bunnies. Which had been homemade and mixed half-and half with Ex-Lax chocolates. :o]
