When I was contacted about a surprise party for my friend Lisa, I was really excited about it.
I couldn’t remember the last time I was actually at a surprise party, but they sure are a lot of fun! Usually whomever is surprised has a really happy look on their face and goes to talk to everybody.
Well, there were a lot of us and it was really dark in the house because we decided to have Tony cut the switch to the breaker box. I realize this was kind of a dumb idea because the A/C system quit working and it was getting pretty overheated inside and the air quality was becoming poor. We were all just waiting there in the dark with our drinks in hand and our confetti bombs. This was all going on while we had Tony at the breaker box getting ready to switch the power back on for the lights and music. When we finally got news that Lisa was on the way, we got ready for the initial surprise! When she opened the door and fumbled with the light switch that wasn’t working, suddenly the breaker was flipped and all the power came on as we all shouted surprise and blasted off our confetti bombs! Lisa was so overwhelmed and had a really scared look on her face before she passed out. I guess it was just too much for her with everything turning on at the same time, including loud music, a bunch of people shouting, and confetti bombs going off. She clearly was surprised, but she could have been seriously injured. We placed her on a lounger that was directly under one of the HVAC vents and got her a drink while giving her some room to get some air. When she finally came to, she said that we should never do that to her, but she was happy to see everybody and we had a good time.
