In case you haven't figured it out, there's a lot of silliness that goes on at my place. My kids (and husband) are a bunch of jokers. Here's a story from about three years ago that happened on April Fools Day.
My kids had the brilliant idea to pull a prank on our neighbors. "Do you have empty boxes and packaging tape?" my son asked.
"Why?" I asked, growing suspicious.
"You'll see."
My son and daughter wrapped four empty boxes with packaging tape and affixed a label with my neighbor's address on it. Then they marched over to my neighbor's house, dropped the "packages" in front of her door, rang the doorbell and took off.
I just shook my head. I would've liked to have seen my neighbor's face after opening up that special delivery!
Better than a burning bag of poop!
ReplyDeleteYes! I've known quite a few pranksters who have done the bag of poop thing.
DeleteYour kids sure are pranksters. Like Alex said better than dumping a box of poop at your neighbour's doorstep.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure!
DeleteAt least that was harmless fun. Silly kids:D
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty silly!
DeleteAww, that was sweetly hilarious. Just awesome! lol!
ReplyDeleteA perfect April Fools joke!
DeleteTheir prank was fun and harmless. I'll bet the neighbors got a laugh out of it.
ReplyDeleteHopefully. ;0)
DeleteLOL! I love it. I would never have thought of so brilliant a ding and run, but whew! Awesome. This deserves to appear in a book somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday it will.
DeleteThat was the perfect prank! Harmless fun. lol. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a good one, too.
Delete*LOL* That's hilarious! Such a great idea for me to use next year. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You'll have to let me know how it goes.
DeleteNever a dull moment in your life, Sherry. I used to love going to joke shops - haven't done it for some time. I might try giving hubby an empty box. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your hubby will love it! ;0)
DeleteI hope that neighbor had a sense of the sublime. My grandmother used to put a small gift within multiple boxes so you'd have no idea what it was. She had lots of grandkids and wanted us to use our imagination. A family that laughs a lot is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope the neighbor got it, too. She never said anything. ;0)
DeleteWonderful story Sherry.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad you liked it!
DeleteTell them to put some rocks in the box next time to give it some weight. Not that I have partaken in this ritual before.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Right!
DeleteYour neighbor probably knew who the pranksters were. David is correct. They need to add some weight to their boxes.
ReplyDeleteI guess they need some advice from a pro on how to do it correctly. ;0)
Delete'it's a surprise that counts!
ReplyDeleteSilliness in your house? No way!! ;) I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that anything silly goes on in my house! ;0)
Deletelol "air" the gift that keeps on giving
ReplyDeleteGood one!
DeleteWhat a terrific idea! We once gave our nephew a flash drive wrapped in progressively larger boxes, with the largest one being a TV box. We did put a few large rocks in the bottom just to complete the effect.
ReplyDeleteYour kids sound like so much fun.
Haha! That was a good trick!
DeleteLOL, You gotta love the kids. They say and do the funniest things.
ReplyDeleteMy kids do some of the funniest things I've ever seen!
DeleteLoving your blog!
ReplyDeleteAh, your neighbors got a surprise :) Pretty creative.
