rolliing yards....

New posts
Our last house got rolled on a regular basis. We lived in a neighborhood full of adolescent boys, and we had the only adolescent girl. I'm not a fan.
 
I grew up in town on a fairly busy corner. Needless to say...our house was usually the prime target for toilet paper!! I learned over the years, that it is much quicker to burn the tp out of the trees....after MUCH practice! Sis and I always had to do the cleaning up...as if we ASKED for this to happen!

The best, most creative, pain in the bu** event was:
One year, after everyone discarded their Christmas trees by the side of the road, a group of boys collected them and deposited them in our front yard!!! We had Christmas trees all in the yard, on the porch, UP in the pecan trees....it was hysterica! AND a mess! We even made the front page of the local newspaper!
 
Confession to my sister (seacrest girl):

Some of our tp events MAY have been in retaliation for a little toilet paper rolling on my end! :D. But thanks for helping me clean it up!!

Now, that doesn't apply to the Christmas trees -- I had never done anything to those boys. I think we were targeted because of the high visibility of our house. Plus, they knew our mother wouldn't be mad!

Our mom was never mad when it happened to us or when we did it to others! It's really harmless fun in my opinion!
 
Harmless fun?
What is your take? Do you allow or take your children to roll yards or believe it encourages children to break other laws? I am amazed at how many parents in my town load the kids up, buy the supplies, and take them to houses to roll. Just wondering if that is the new norm....

Only in TN :roll:
 
My father taught at one of the high schools and our house got "rolled" every weekend. He was always able to find out who did it and he had his ways of making the culprits pay, I never knew what the penance was. I have been quilty of rolling a few yards during my middle school years:).
 
Yes..land of creative rednecks!!
