A few weeks back, our neighbor at the end of our complex brought one of those organ donor biohazard boxes home from work. He works at a hospital. Of course, I was horribly curious when I heard the stir outside (the kids were out there playing with the dogs), and when I saw the box I had to go out and investigate.
He told us that there was a human head in the box. I didn’t know what to believe! You hear something like that and you can’t NOT believe it, once the image is in your mind, right?
He had the kids stand to the side while he opened the box for me to see. I almost believed him (silly, gullible me) until he opened the box and I saw that it was just loaded with dry ice…left-overs he brought home for the kids to play with.
He then offered to show the kids. They freaked out initially…especially Jaycen…but not in a bad way. They were laughing and screaming and running around. Finally he opened the box for them and blew into it to make the dry ice fog up like a cloud, and asked them to look in. Then he’d slam the box closed again.
He even took a water bottle and would open the box, bang the ice with the bottle (to build up pressure and make the bottle squeal like a tea pot) and then he’d drop the bottle into the box and slam the lid. “Can you hear him? He wants out!” It was classic.
We brought out bowls and cups of water to play with the ice and show the kids how it makes water bubble. It was fun. Something I’ll never forget.
Nothing like a little Halloween in the Summer time. ;-)
OMG, that is funny! Would have been even funnier if he had put a mirror in there so that they saw their own face when the fog cleared. HAHAHA, of course that could have given them nightmares for a while, too! LOL!, YOU ARE SO FUNNY TO SHARE THIS! LOVE IT!
