Last night between and 6 and 10pm, a dozen or so pink flamingos showed up on my lawn along with a sign. We didn’t venture too far out in the yard because it was dark and we were tired.
We’ve had some odd things happen to our yard over the years (someone stabbed our blow up Frankenstein, knocked over pumpkin heads, dumped and crushed a LOT of holiday lights into the our yard, random mostly harmless kid stuff like that), so we assumed some kids gathered up stuff from other people’s yard and played a prank. No biggie. I posted to our neighborhood listserv that if someone was missing their flamingos, that I had them and they were welcome to come get them. Hey, who am I to judge how people decorate their yards…
Well, come to find out, this is a fundraiser for Westwood High School Project Graduation. So an anonymous friend (who-shall-remain-nameless*ahem*Martha*ahem*) had them to sent to us. How fun!
They will be here for 48 hours or so and then be removed. I donated to the cause because I thought it was hilarious. This one is pretty straight forward, but apparently there are other variations where you “have” to pay to get them removed from your yard. Or you can pay to have them moved to a friend’s (or enemy’s I suppose) yard… you can even buy flamingo insurance. LOL.
Anyway, fun! And it’s for a good cause.
That's hilarious. I totally would have flocked you!
