Now you see where I got it from...

Sometimes it is the puller of pranks who is pranked. By his mother. Seriously.

This email just arrived in my inbox. Assuming it is not a hoax (see below, re double secret probation reverse REVERSE pranks), it is brilliant. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

Eric,
I may have outpranked you. Guess who wrote the comment about the
pillowfight with "the Swedish tempur-pedic pillow"....."went home to take
two Tylenol...." It was ME. So, you're welcome and if being
your mother doesn't qualify to be included in your small circle of
friends.....then your blog has a wider audience. But, here's the cute
part.....I am not the Anonymous who replied to your reply. I have no idea
who that was!

Are you pissed or did you laugh?

Love,
Mom

This should go as a warning to bloggers everywhere: do not tell your mother about your blog or she will prank you.
