RSSBirthday Surprise
My mother’s birthday was this weekend, and my sister got a last minute flight in from Oregon for the occasion. She flew 14+ hours in 2 days even though she was only staying for 23 hours. Without telling my mom that she was coming, we picked my sister up from the airport, gave her a cell phone and dropped her off 3 blocks from my parents house with instructions for her to make a “happy birthday from Oregon” call as she walked to the house.
My Mom had been talking to my sister for 10 minutes when my sister walked in the door and stood behind her. She actually had to say “just turn around” 3 times before my mother figured out that she was right behind her and dropped the phone on the floor.
That trumped any damn gift that I could’ve come up with.
