A Real Surprise Birthday Party!

This one was on everyone!


It was the day before my eighteenth birthday.  I was living at home, but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my boyfriend over for a romantic night alone.  As we lay in bed after making love, we heard the telephone ring downstairs.  I suggested to him that he would give me a piggyback ride to the phone to keep the fun going.  Since we didn't want to miss the call, we didn't have time to get dressed.  When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on and a whole crowd of people yelled, 'SURPRISE!'


My entire family--aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and all my friends were standing there! My boyfriend and I were frozen in a state of shock and embarrassment and nudity for what seemed like an eternity. Since then, no one in my family has planned a surprise party again.


My parents took it all in stride.  They suspected that we might have been "doing it."  After all, that is the Anniston, Alabama way.  Probably it gave the aunts fodder for gossip for months!
