That night, we only had 15 min to get ready. We had towels shoved in our monkey suits to show off our slimming manly figures. We rubbed dirt from my car tires on our faces, hands, and neck to look like mechanics. And to complete the 'look' we made a stop at the Shell Station for our Big Gulps. I have never received so many double takes in my life. It was embarrassing at first, but by the end of the night, we had embraced it. We then headed to the mall and propped ourselves at The Miracle Mile Bakery complete with our Sports pages and Gun advertisements. Regrettably, all the groups found us, but we still fooled several. Nadine Smith was talking to me and finally asked, 'who are you?' Brynna was a foot away from me..I smiled at her, she gave a wry smile back and it wasn't until I started talking that she said...'Mom??' And last but not least, I had to hit on Bishop in my best manly voice since he walked right past us.
It was a great night and we had a ball. It's been awhile since I've laughed that hard just by looking at someone. The one thing still troubling me is which youth thought we had dressed up as 'black' people? Still trying to figure that one out.

Jen you kill me!!! That is the best YM YW activity ever, how creative! You guys look great...in a manly dirty trucker sort of way :o)
You guys were awesome! Thanks for helping us out last minute. And I would ask Adam Barry about the whole black thing.
Laughed quite hard! You two look so natural. :) I'm sure it was hard walking into the mall without makeup jewelry, etc. I'm proud of ya!
They didn't walk the mall - they sat....while Bishop walked right by them! - I saw that - so funny!
Sorry about the last minute - thanks again!
