I found a little white jewelry box one time, and I cut a hole in the bottom and stuck my finger through. Then I put cotton balls around my finger and added some ketchup for a nice blood effect. I thought this would be a great trick to play on our 70 year old neighbor, Mary.
I ran over to her house, rang her doorbell and waited. When she came to the door I told her I had a present for her. She smiled as I held up the box for her to open.
When she opened it, she screamed.
Loud.
She scared me, so I screamed and ran off her porch and back to my house. I couldn't understand why she screamed instead of laughed. I thought it was really funny.
Although I didn't think it was too funny when she came over and told my mom.
I’m a fun-loving foster and adoptive mom juggling a teenager, a tween, and a toddler, all while navigating the wild world of homeschooling. I recently took the plunge and moved to a new state without ever setting foot there—talk about an adventure! This is my real-life story, filled with chaos and joy. My mission? To swap out traditional products and pharmaceuticals for healthier, natural options for my family. Oh, and I really miss writing, so I'm excited to weave that back into my life!

Even if you got in trouble, that was a great prank! I'm going to to do it to my granddaughter. Thanks!
I did the same exact thing to my grandmother and told her I found it in her garden. She calmly looked at it and told me "go throw that thing out", like it was normal to find a finger in the garden, but I wasn't suppose to play with it.
LOL! That was too funny. I love that you got scared too.
Pat, let me know how your granddaugter likes it:)
Joy, that's hysterical!
Guinevere, I think I was more scared of what my dad was going to do to me when he found me (I tended to hide under my bed when I was in trouble).
