Back in the beginning of December we went on our first double date together (with boys, obviously). Before the date we had no idea who was going on the date with who. When they picked us up Jacqui made the mistake of sitting in the front seat before the seating arrangments were given...this caused a lot of confusion, Lindsay thought she was going to be driving their car at one point because of Jacqui's minor mistake.
Off to the ice skating rink we drove, still confused! When we got there we were surprised to see our whole ward there on double dates as well. We got our skates on, and headed to the sheet of ice. We started going around the rink, Lindsay staying close to the wall and Jacqui venturing away. At first we thought maybe the confusion was over because Boy #1 was skating with Lindsay, and Boy #2 was skating with Jacqui. We skated around the rink for about 20 minutes getting to know each other. And then suddenly the boys switched places! Now Boy #1 was skating with Jacqui, and Boy #2 was skating with Lindsay. We didn't know what was going on, but we went along with it anyways, and got to know the new boy we were skating with. This kept on happening, the boys switching places about every 20 minutes! At one point they were off doing a trick together, so we asked each other who we were on the date with...neither of us knew!
When our ankles started getting sore, we left. We were now on our way to the store to get supplies for root beer floats. After we got our supplies we headed back to Boy #1's apartment to make our root beer floats. When we got to the apartment, Boy #1 stopped us at the door and explained that there was a big group date going on inside. He said that we could either join that big group date, or stay with our small double date and watch a movie (we could tell they wanted to watch a movie with us). He opened the door to his apartment and we were met with a very quiet living room and one single boy using his laptop. We looked at each other, holding back our laughter and wondering if this was his idea of a big group date....then we went into the kitchen and stumbled upon the 'big group date', which consisted of 2 girls, 2 boys, and a quiet game of cards. We didn't even hear them when we went into the apartment!
While we were waiting for Boy #1 to eat a burrito for dinner, we found a pad of post-it notes. We decided to write Jacqsay on the post-its and hide them around the apartment. We found one bedroom that was unlocked with no one inside so we hid quite a few post-its with our name on it in there. We thought it was pretty funny.
After Boy #1 finished his burrito, and we finished hiding post-it notes, the boys made us our root beer floats. Jacqui was sitting on one couch and Lindsay was sitting on the other couch. Boy #1 sat by Lindsay, and Boy #2 sat by Jacqui. We enjoyed our root beer floats...while we were drinking them we asked the boys if they would play one of our favorite games with us. We told them about the game- we would blindfold and duct tape the boys hands and legs togther, drop them off somewhere, and then they would have to find their way back. They didn't think it was a very good idea, but Boy #1 had duct tape and brought it out anyways. Boy #2 watched on as we duct taped Boy #1's ankles together. After he realized what was happening, he broke free and tried to get the duct tape from us. Naturally we each stood in different corners of the living room, and began tossing the roll of duct tape back and forth to each other so that Boy #1 wouldn't get it. Then Jacqui yelled out 'Monkey in the middle!' and the game intensified. Boy #1 told us he was surprised he hadn't gotten the duct tape from us yet. Finally Boy #2 intervened and stole the duct tape. It was so funny! We hadn't laughed that long in probably a few days.
We were all tired from playing monkey in the middle so Boy #1 showed us a few magic tricks, and then we decided to watch the movie Hot Rod. Again, Lindsay was sitting on one couch, and Jacqui was sitting on the other. But this time Boy #1 decided to sit by Jacqui and Boy #2 decided to sit by Lindsay. Now we were still really confused. The movie was really funny, we liked it a lot more than we thought we would.
After the movie we decided to play a game of telephone, so Jacqui and Boy #1 moved to the couch by Lindsay and Boy #2. Lindsay and Jacqui were sitting in the middle of the two boys, so it was easy for us to make this game a little more interesting. Everytime Boy #1 would start, Jacqui and Lindsay would mess up whatever he said before passing it on to Boy #2. It was really funny, for us at least. Sometime during this game Jacqui stole Boy #1's phone, and passed it to Lindsay.
The boys didn't want us to leave and kept talking to us after we finished telephone. Finally a little after 2, we decided it was time to go. Boy #1 decided just to stay at his apartment, so Boy #2 took us home. Boy #1 gave both of us hugs as we were leaving, and then he realized he didn't have his phone. He took Jacqui's coat so that we would give him his phone back. Instead of giving it back we both wore Lindsay's coat, and left with Boy #2 and Boy #1's phone. We got out to the car, and our conscience kicked in...we decided we should probably give him his phone back, and that Jacqui would eventually need her own (ugly) coat.
Boy #2 took us back to apartment, and walked us up to our door. He insisted that we both link arms with him as he walked us to our building. He walked us upstairs to our apartment, and hugged us both good bye.
This left us even more confused. We still have no idea which boy we were on the date with. Whose is who? Maybe you can figure it out.
After telling our parents (and many others) about our funny date, Jacqui's dad said it reminded him of an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and a midget go on a date with two girls, and don't know which one they were on the date with.
We will add the clips from that episode of Seinfeld that reminds us of our date when we find them...so stay tuned!
