Tom Schil

In the summer of 1991 or 92 I was sitting in my kitchen playing guitar at about 10 or 11 at night. My wife, son (10), and daughter ( Cool

had gone to bed a short while before and were just dozing off to sleep.

I noticed out of the corner of my eye a young boy with red shorts on "sneaking" through the hallway and past me into the living room. Because we are a family that regularly plays practical jokes on each other I acted as if I didn't notice and watched the boy sneak into the the living room and around the corner. I "knew" it was my son looking to play a joke on me and jump out and scare me. After a short while he had still not jumped out to scare me and I called out, "Ok, you can come out now Nathan."
