I promised a background story on my love of flamingos. In honor of the flamingo candle Liam decapitated today here it it. Don't judge me on my juvenile delinquency. I still maintain my only role was driving the get away vehicle.
In high school a group of friends and I named ourselves "The Flamingo Bandits". We would drive around town on the weekends, swiping pink flamingo lawn ornaments. We accumulated quite a collection. My mom just knew one night she was going to get a call we had been arrested.
My mom woke up the morning of my high school graduation open house to a lawn COVERED in flamingos. She was so mad! Since we lived in a subdivision she made us move them to the backyard before we got in trouble.

This is not our front yard, just a pale comparison.
Only one lawn flamingo survived my parents move. It was a large wooden flower box flamingo. While Liam and I were there last week I went down to the basement to take a picture of it. Can you believe Woman got rid of it?! (I call my mom Woman, but that's a story for another day.)
This is what the flamingo that survived the move looked like.
So glad you posted this story!
ReplyDeleteThey would have ended up on the roof had your neighbors not threatened us when we tried to borrow his ladder... Lol
