For years, the scrapblog editor has walked in the door of her Robbinsdale home and fallen flat on her face, tripping over shoes (the record was 34 shoes in the front entrance), Legos, action figures, baseball gloves, bats, balls and small, squirrely boys who seemingly overnight became 6 feet tall. Over the years, she's opened the fridge to find it empty, the oven to find it full of spilled pizza, had her microwave blown up and opened the pantry door
to shriek at the unexpected sight of a teenager who spent TWENTY MINUTES in there looking for Pop-Tarts. She sometimes wakes up on Saturday or Sunday morning and finds a boy on every couch, every recliner, some on the floor. There are boys in the garage, under the table, in the basement, on the roof.
Over the years she's found her cats dressed in funny outfits, her pet birds looking like they've been visited by leopards, pop cans on the roof, baseballs in the gutters, M-rated video games
(strictly banned at the scrapblog editor's stately manor) under the couch cushions, a baby rabbit under the bed, action figures in the freezer, paper men in the shower. She's been awakened from a sound sleep at 1 a.m. by teenagers demanding to know what her position on Libertarianism is. Sometimes when she's at work meetings this line will inexplicably pop into her head, just because she's heard it so much:
"KEEP YOUR EYES ONA ROAD AND YOUR HAYNDS A-PONE THE WHEEEE-UHHHH." She's also heard every song the Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd recorded about 2,000 times (but also, thankfully, a lot of early blues and late alt-rock).
It's been great fun.
But all of a sudden, the boys are all grown up, all young men. The scrapblog editor's jaw dropped when she saw their prom snapshots and realized that. Here are just some of the boys.
Top photo: Johnny, Noah, Nathan, Kiel and C-Whiz, whom the scrapblog editor refers to as "Mr. Burns"
Second photo: Johnny, Noah, Kiel, C-Whiz
Third photo: Joe, J.T., Noah
Fourth photo: Kiel and Noah
All the boys are celebrities with us, but three LOOK like celebrities: C-Whiz, who looks just like Josh Hartnett; J.T., who looks just like Tom Petty, and Kiel, whose hair reminds us of Ed Grimley, the SNL character Martin Short played,
I must say.
