So my husband and I were outside today and our neighbor from across the street came over to chat. We were putting up the lights on our house and mentioned that we would not be putting up all of our lighted reindeer, etc. since we would be leaving in less than 3 weeks. He asked, "Where are you going in 3 weeks?" We replied, "Disneyworld!" What does he say? "You people are weird." I promptly told him I would be passing his little comment on to my friends on the Dis Board and he shouldn't be surprised if he has some bad luck in the near future (I made it sound like you guys could collectively hex him!).
So then he went back to work on his lights and we kept working quickly on ours because we always try to beat him and get ours lit first.
Then he comes back and guess what? He said he blew a circuit breaker in his garage! Not only can he not turn his Christmas lights on, he can't even close his garage door without pulling it down himself. Is that karma or what?
I told him it's because he dissed our Disney trip and he just laughed!
So now our lights are blazing and his are still dark. And we're weird!? Seriously, this guy is a good friend of ours! He claims that putting our lights up isn't a race but we still try to secretly beat each other every year. And we watch each other's houses while we're on vacation so he'll be getting our mail for 10 days! But, I can't help but laugh about his breaker. It's not funny and it's a big pain for him, but he did make that comment.....
