In Texas, there are a lot of inside jokes. One is about the class of people that put pink flamingos in their yard. I apologize ahead of time if you have them in your yard. I have become very fond of them and even plan a flamingo quilt because of this story. I think real ones are magnificent.
My good friend moved into a very nice neighborhood in 1993 and another friend thought it would be funny to gift her with a pair of flamingos for her yard. She moved them to the backyard and they lived there for years. One day, the yardmen, accidently, murdered the pink plastic flamingos.
As luck would have it, My friend's birthday happened about the same time. All her DH gave her was a new set of pink plastic flamingos. He truly thought it would be nice to replace them. Can you say, "Angry on Steroids"? Needless to say, she received a piece of jewelry shortly afterward. We all fueled the fire by pointing out every pink flamingo item that we passed. It is still fun today. What are good friends for?
