Hooked

We were patiently waiting for enough tables to be cleared to make room for the George Clan to be seated. There were clusters of conversation and laughter, each one trying to catch up with what had been happening in everyone else's life... We were all talking at the same time... Teasing... Telling a joke.... Interrupting each other... Stopping... Then hurriedly starting talking again so your story can be heard... 

Jason said that while we waited he looked down and noticed the loops on the back of Phillip's shoes and had a bright idea. A chain just happened to be handy that was normally used to close off a section, so stealthily Jason hooked it into the loop on one shoe. Of course when the hostess started to seat us, Phillip moved forward a partial step then fell forward onto the checkout desk. Amid much laughter the hostess told Jason how bad he was. Thankfully Phillip's good nature helped him enjoy a joke or prank, even if he got the brunt of the prank.
