It was supposed to just be a joke. Really…
Josh, Pat and Casey drove over to the house of Rachel Vessing with the intent of play a bit of a joke on her 17th birthday. The “mooning” of the attractive redhead while singing “happy birthday” was intended to in fun. They were sure that Rachel won’t be offended and would take the gesture in the manner intended.
Hey, it was just a joke, right? But unbeknownst to the boys, Rachel’s father, the Reverend Josiah Vessing, was at home that night and not at bible study as was usually the case for a Wednesday evening in the fall. The widower was protective of his only daughter so what happened was not totally unexpected. So the boys were surprised when both Rachel and Reverend Vessing opened the door. Turned around and bent over, the boys thought that just Rachel was there when she gasped “oh my god” at the sight of their bare buttocks. But they quickly realized their mistake when they heard a male voice boom out “what the hell??”
Fleeing off the porch while simultaneously trying to buckle their pants, boys might have been a bit too distracted to hear the reverend’s final comment to them as they ran off his property.
“That is not what I was talking about last week when I said that we all need to turn the other cheek…”
