So yesterday was Kaylee’s 18th Birthday. Shane came up with a brilliant joke that, of course, I agreed with whole heartedly. We brought suitcases up from the basement and set them in the kitchen. When Kaylee got home Shane 
greeted her at the door, gave her a big hug & wished her a very Happy 18th Birthday!
Then he said, “Since you’re 18, here’s your suitcases, NOW GET THE HELL OUT!”
Now, of course, she knew he was kidding…she’s lived with us for 18 years after all.
But we all had a great laugh!
UPDATE: How sweet is this, my neighbor, (love my neighbors – well, most of them), Patty, gave Kaylee a card that was SO CUTE: It said:
~ You stand on the edge of adulthood….
Make sure you wear cute shoes!
I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 
She’s lovely! It’s so nice to see a teenager who’s happy and loves her parents. Happy birthday!!
OMG that is too funny. I glad she knew he was joking, although when I think about it could have been a kodak moment.
Belated Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter.
Ah, practical jokes and teenagers go hand in hand! Love that you guys did that – priceless!
Holy cow. EIGHTEEN!?!?!?! Are we really old enough to have kids this old? I said old enough, not MATURE enough! LOL
Happy belated to Kaylee from us, and GOOD JOKE MOM AND DAD!!!!! (I’ll be using that one in a couple of years..)
