Last summer, Jared and I were walking through Walmart, when we came upon a most interesting find, a flask! We thought it was so funny and would make a great buy because there are so many things we could do with it. Immediately we devised plans for this wonderful little prop, ranging from Christmas gag gifts to PCP meeting tension reliever. At the time, Jared was the Elder's Quorum Pres and so he would have church meetings with other leaders and talk about important and sometimes very serious matters and so in order to relieve some tension, Jared and I thought it would be funny for him to pull out the flask from his suite pocket and take a swig when they called on him. (Don't worry mom, we never did it, we only jest about it within the confines of our home!)
For Christmas we gave one to Chad and Des to put in their church bag or purse for when they need to relieve some tension with their callings. It is a good stocking stuffer, so just think about the possibilities you could do with one of your own.
Anyways, so Jared brought the flask to work with him yesterday and planted it in one of the teachers desks. He pulled it out in front of the class and asked what Mrs. Barker was doing with it. He scolded the class for not reporting it to the principal and said that she needed help and you shouldn't enable her by keeping it a secret. She denied it, like everyone did who got caught with it in their desks. He had fun planting it places and then conveniently finding it later. The people's reactions were priceless!
Mommy said I could have a drink...
The innocence of a first timer!
It cracks me up seeing my kids jokingly drinking from the flask! Eli looks a little drunk!
One more sip will do the trick!

I think you should use it during Sacerment meeting, that's one I need it the most. :)
Do it on the stand before you give your talk, like you need to be "fortified". HA HA
Can I have some of the "real" stuff please??
Megann, If you had just helped me in the kitchen with the jam, you would have seen me taking some swigs here and there!
I have Rum extract somewhere in my cubboards.
That's funny, Good job Corks and J. At work the our shop does a lot of funny stuff like that but if I planted a flask they might think it was real. There is one guy that is older about mid 40s that really looks flushed sometimes and we wonder because he looks stressed a lot too.
A great item to have in any Mormon home! I thought the April Fool's Joke was funny, and like the pictures!
Which one of you is going to the "PCP" meeting? Can I come next time?
