Money On Trees

In America teens prank neighbors for fun, sometimes maliciously
by throwing toilet paper over branches on their trees. Today, not
a square would be spared for such frivolity. Not every day is a
parade of roses but every day can be filled with the joy of the Lord.

MONEY ON TREES

would that rain could erase the ill — wet paper wrapped around trees

That would have been an exceptional job if it rained, when I was young. Probably can't do this much anymore for fear of getting shot. Good one Kim...

The saddest thing several years ago in our neck of the woods (girls from my daughters school: papered a girl’s house more than once. The father attempted to get their license plate numbers (2 cars) one 16 year old decided to turn lights off, wrecked her car and killed 3 friends. Was a homecoming prank gone very wrong.
