A week or two ago my kids came home with a ballot from school for all the parents to vote for something. I glanced over it as I was about to throw it in the trash and I saw my husband's name on the ballot. I called him and asked him what he was doing?...you are already busy enough...After he talked me down from the ledge, he assured me he had no idea what I was talking about. He was not trying to be a parent rep on the school site board for the kids school. We figured someone else was trying to be funny or mean. I called everyone I knew and told them not to vote for him and I did not vote for him. I told the girls that if they saw their friends ballots at school tell them to change who their parents voted for to not include Dad.
Fast Forward a week and we have accused so many and still have not found the culprit until Scott was talking to his mom. Apparently she has been waiting for some payback. 2 years ago, Scott signed her up in the temple to play the organ (which she does not play). She then thought it was not a mistake but a sign that she should work in the temple weekly. So... she diligently has worked there for at least 2 years and finally Scott broke it to her that it was him. I guess his Mom was waiting for the perfect time for payback. Remember our trip to Guatemala...well, she was watching the kids those ten days and the flyer was sent home for candidate volunteers. Payback opportunity!! I think this is the funniest thing she has ever done...Good Work.
What was the outcome? VICTORY!!!! Congrats to our new school site council parent candidate. I think this is the only victory he could not be any less happy about. Payback!!!! Thanks to all his supporters.

Scott recently told us about the Temple story, but this makes everything better. Congratulations Scott.
He so deserved this!! I love it! Way to go mom - Gramma who didn't get the news about Joy expecting Brody!!
It was about 6 years ago. I worked in the temple for 5 years. I have been watching for a chance to help him grow like I have. I think he should serve for 5 years on the school board so his growth is comparable. I know he will do a great job. Love you Scott. I loved working in the temple and I'm sure you will love to work at the school.
MOM
That is awesome!I still laughing They say payback is the best, way to go Mom. I want to be like her.
I always wondered why they have the sign at the temple that says "do not sign up for someone else" -- I couldn't imagine that happening. Now I know. It's a risk. Excellent payback. Great story. Good luck, Scott!
I am on our school site council, and sorry to say, but since we have NO budget, we have nothing to much meet about. We had our first meeting in almost a year a couple of weeks ago and none in sight, so it's going to be an easy ride!
