Some pranks just deserve a high five

To a teenage boy, image is huge. It may even be right up there with the importance of image to a teenage girl, go figure.

My son has a friend that loves to plot and sceme with him. Some of Jonah's friends come over, they go to bed, that's the end of it. This friend, when paired with the likes of Jonah, always has something up his sleeve. They are always working on something, anything that will shake up the rules just a bit and leave me on edge for the day.

Yet, somehow, I am crazy about him. The two of them just go together like peanut butter and jelly or Oreos and milk. They drive me crazy with their bb guns and fireworks, but then again, they laugh like little kids and run around with total abandon.

Back to the image thing. Last week, Jonah got Aidan gooood. Aidan had spent the night and left his facebook account open when he left. Jonah, my son whom I am so proud of, took this opportunity to 'tweak' Aidan's account. Aidan's account now plays Barbie Girl and Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana, all things that would make Aidan livid. And Aidan had no clue. He may even have image problems when he finds out and require counseling, who knows?

But as I said, some pranks just deserve a high five and even a little recognition.
