We've all pranked someone or been pranked by someone many times before, right? What is a prank you are especially proud of? Or maybe a prank pulled off on you that someone else should be especially proud of? Please share. We'd like to know!
In high school I had a different lunch period than my best friend, Rich. One day some friends and I decided to go prank Rich during lunch. His family was out of town for the week and the house was locked so we moved the trampoline to the side of the house and used it to get onto the roof. My friend Eric tried to open the window to Rich’s room but it would not open. (Eric apparently broke the window screen and Rich’s dad blames me for that to this day.)
Plan B. We shook the sliding door until the lock unlatched. Once inside we moved everything from his 2nd story bedroom out into the backyard. The room was completely empty except for a lone white sheet of paper on the floor. The paper read “Dr. X”.
Back outside we arranged all his furniture just as it had been in his room, messy laundry pile and all. The backyard was facing a large park and they had a chain link fence so our handy work could be seen for a quarter mile. (It wasn’t until I told Emily this story that it dawned on me that his stuff could have been stolen.)
We took pictures of ourselves to mail to Rich after we had had our fun, (see above). For the rest of high school he swore he would get even. I was never worried though because little Richie just didn't have it in him.
When I was in 6th grade, we moved to the new neighborhood, a rough change for both Julie and me. One day, a girl named Andrea invited Julie to a party and she was very excited to go make some friends. But when she got there, Andrea and some other mean girls were waiting for her to soak her with water balloons. Julie ran home, soaking wet and in tears. I was so upset. How could these girls in our ward treat her so poorly? I was chatting with Holly about how we could help Julie and Holly gave me an idea… A TERRIBLE IDEA! But I was 12 and it just seemed like the best (and funniest) way to get even with Andrea.
My friend Larami had a dog and that is what made it all possible. No one in their right mind would eat dog poo. It looks gross… it smells bad… and well, it’s dog poo. But who wouldn’t LOVE to receive a delicious batch of powdered chocolate cookies! And even better… from their secret admirer! Now you are all probably thinking that I am a horrible person but as you think that, please keep in mind that I was 12, Andrea was an awful human being, AND Holly (aka… the devil) made me do it. So we did it. We used plastic dental gloves to roll the dog poo into small bite-size cookies and then rolled them in powdered sugar to disguise the smell. And they couldn’t have looked better with the lovely bow and a note from a secret admirer written for Andrea herself! We delivered the cookies on her doorstep, rang the bell, and ran for our lives!
Now, not to disappoint you, but Holly (the one with a conscience, apparently) told Mom about our evil prank and Mom made me go and remove the cookies from off the doorstep. Andrea never knew what she had coming and before she could find out… Mom saved her. I’m not proud of what I did… but you have to admit… it would have been a great prank!
Freshman year at Ricks we did some funny stuff. One evening one of our friends Mike had been sleeping all day from an all night cram session. We reset his alarm clock, turned out all the dorm lights, dressed in our PJs and stood in lines in the bathroom for showers. We perfectly re-enacted our morning time routine. Everyone on our floor kept it going until he reached the Cafeteria and found that it was locked. He finally realized it wasn't morning when we told him to look at the sun.
This is from Christy. When I was in high school we found an entire disgusting living room set by the sidewalk waiting for trash pick-up. We moved the entire set along with a mattress and "house for sale" sign into the yard of one of the kids in our school. It looked really nice.
Freshman war at BYU…The war started when I was innocently relaxing in a hot bath and suddenly turned purple. (The girls from next door had slipped into the bathroom and dumped grape Kool-Aid into my tub.) Naturally, my roommate, Suzy, and I decided to do a bathroom trick of our own. We quietly slipped back to our neighbor’s bathroom, clogged their shower with newspapers and turned on the hot water. Our neighbors didn’t realize the prank until water flowed out of their bathroom, down the hall and into their kitchen. When those neighbors tried to turn off the water, they couldn’t get to the shower because the water was too hot to wade through. Suzy and I figured our neighbors would probably come running out of their front door in a panic as soon as they saw the flood, so we had creatively placed a bucket of water above their door. The bucket was balanced in a way that it would dump on the first person to open that door. In anticipation, Suzy and I knelt down looking through the vent in our wall to watch the action. Ironically, we didn’t expect our wimpy tattle-tale neighbors to call our dorm father to come rescue them. Well, come he did. And the bucket? You guessed it. It dumped right on his head. We laughed so hard that he heard us through the vent. Yes, we did get in trouble. And yes, it was worth it.

ReplyDeleteI have really had fun reading these Emily. I definitely would like to keep doing it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great idea!

ReplyDeleteI'm super lame and can't think of anything - but hey, at least I posted. :)

ReplyDeleteFunny stuff from all of you guys. I can see why Julie never pulled any pranks. With sisters like Emily and Holly, she probably never needed to.
