Getting Even

My wonderful brother in law used to think it was sooo funny to take his false teeth out, then smile real big at us. Well since he thought it was soo cute, my husband took a pic of him in his glory, teeth out and smiling big...

What he did not know was that, I had learned how to do photo transfers. I enlarged the photo, made 8 copies, then proceeded to print them on T-shirts.. one for each member of the family. However one of my first attempts went south, so I just put it in my give away pile..

In the mean time Birthday for BIL came along, and we as the family took him out to his favorite pizza place, and waited for him to go to the restroom (sop) Standard Operating Procedure... then we all took off our outer shirts and had on the toothless grin shirts.. The look on my BIL's face was one of bewilderment, he could not figure out Who the pic on our shirt was.. until his daughter told him..Well he swore he would get even.. but one more surprise was on it's way.

As we left the pizza place, and walked down the street, one of the homeless men in San Fransisco came by, and lo and behold, he had on my "oops" T-shirt, wearing it proudly.. it even took me by surprise, but being such a good sport, the gentleman agreed to let me buy him dinner, and joined in the family celebration wearing that Old Man's Toothless Grin shirt..

Never let it be said that I can not get even... lol
