I wonder if neither of you had announced it if you wouldn't have gone through with it.Robert Brooks wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 6:29 pm Here's one of mine...
I can’t remember who said it first, but I know we both said to each other, “I’ll pull your trousers down!” and then made a move as though we were actually about to do it. It felt incredibly exciting that he and I had put into words that we intended to pull each other’s trouser’s down right there on the busy playground, and I remember feeling both relieved and disappointed that neither of us did. The threat alone was thrilling in itself. I'd never said anything like that to anybody before!
Reminds me of one I saw almost happen that really irritated me. A family was walking towards me, mom, dad, older brother, and you gee brother. The younger brother announced loud enough for me to hear, so his brother definitely heard, "I'm going to pants him." To which the older brother grabbed his pants and told him "don't you dare."
Seriously kid, you don't say that out loud and warn your target. I should have seen the older brother with his loose fitting sweatpants around his ankles (maybe his underwear too depending on how tightly his brother grabbed), but instead I was blue balled by the false promise of a pantsing.
