Anticipation

*Everyone hiding in a room decorated for a party, with a larger banner reading "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TEDDY" hanging on the wall*  TEDDY: *Walking into the back of the room from inside the house, coming up behind everyone* "Oh hello, everybody! What're we watching for?"
"Oh yeah, just fancied coming in the back of the house, for absolutely no reason at all: Just had to jump a couple fences, scale that trellis to the shed roof, extricate myself from the Robinson's dog..."



I like to imagine the dynamic of Teddy and Allison at Teddy's birthday every year, getting increasingly competitive with Allison trying to catch him off guard with a surprise party, and Teddy secretly finding out about it for the sole purpose of planning his own ridiculous entrance to said party #CueRecurringSegment (that is in no way just an excuse for an easy bit to perpetuate annually at my birthday...) 

CPP Impetus Edition

*Allison and Teddy in a room next to  a too-big Christmas tree, bent over to fit inside; Teddy in work gear on a latter up to a large hole demo-ed in the ceiling*  ALLISON: "...Or you could've just bought a SMALLER Christmas tree..."  TEDDY: "Yeah, but think how great this space will be with a vaulted ceiling!.."

Is it even the holidays without some light moderate home improvement?..
