Having just spent time at the ultra-fun Nachtigal Family Reunion, I was reminded of how much all the Nachtigals enjoy practical jokes! So, it was appropriate that we kicked off the reunion weekend playing a joke on someone.
The challenge was that five relatives would share a ride from Sioux Falls to Platte. In addition to all the luggage there were also two sets of golf clubs. The Aunties suggested taking two cars, but encouraged the group to try to fit everything into one vehicle so as not to miss any stories on the drive.
Uncle Roger, known for being quite meticulous, took charge of packing the car. He arranged, then rearranged, positioned then repositioned luggage until all the items just fit with no room to spare.
Aunt Irma and I waited until everyone and everything was all packed into the car - then we brought out another piece of luggage for our joke. As soon as Uncle Roger saw us with one more suitcase, he started sputtering "Oh No! Who's bag is that? That luggage is not going to fit!".
Aunt Irma and I were tickled pink, having kicked off the reunion with a practical joke at UncleRoger's expense.
