Bird Watching??

When we lived in San Bruno, there was a guy my age who lived across the street from us. He was sort of a funny kind of fellow and Mike and I loved to crack jokes to each other about him. One day we decided it would be kind of fun to "spy" on him. So, that night, after dark, we found Dad's binoculars and sneaked outside. We found a couple of old buckets and turned them upside down by the side fence, then climbed on top and looked through the binoculars into the open windows. The whole time we were just laughing our silly heads off. This was a privacy fence, but from the other side, I'm sure you could see the tops of our heads - from the nose up with binoculars at our eyes. I don't remember seeing anything on the inside of the house, but we were having a great time when Dad popped out and wanted to know, "What are you two up to?" We almost fell off the buckets we turned around so fast! In unison, we said, "Bird-watching" as Mike held up the binoculars. (We had already decided if we got caught, we'd say we were bird-watching) Of course Daddy didn't believe us and made us come inside, but we were never going to confess that we were actually a couple of peeping toms!! So many memories!!!!
