This one time Molly and I were working at a Children's home in Lake Waccamaw, NC and living with 8 elementary age boys. Well, one day Molly was outside with one of the boys who was suspended from school. There are several hundred pecan trees that cover that campus and they were dropping pecans all over the ground at the time. She was having him pick them up near the house and collect them in a bucket so we could use them in the kitchen. Well, she was helping him pick them up and pointing to little piles of nuts everywhere for him to pick up and I was walking nearby. Now, knowing that when my wife is focused on the task at hand, she can get very intense. I bent over and picked up a pecan and threw it in her direction. It landed about a foot on front of her and she squealed. Thats right, she squealed. She picked it up and put it in her bucket and kept pressing on and never noticed that I was standing 20 feet away nor did she realize that I threw it at her. Being the loving, caring, compassionate, and hard working individual that I am, I decided that I couldn't let the opportunity for me to help her collect pecans to pass me by. So I started to pick them up around me and throw them at my wife still working diligently 20 feet away.
"Ooo look, another one." , "another one!", "*shriek!*", " *squeal!*".
At this point I was laughing so hard I almost wet myself watching her running around in little circles chasing after these little phantom nuts that seemed to be falling from the sky like manna from heaven. I don't think she even realized that there wasn't a tree close enough to her to be producing all of these nuts for her. It finally registered that someone was laughing nearby and when she figured out what I had been doing she threw all the pecans back at me.
Hilarious.
Only Molly.
