The Art of Pranking
My ramblings have lead me today to the subject of pranking. Something I am very good at, at certain times. A perfect prank should be funny, but it should also make a statement. It should be a surprise and make an impact. If you're lucky you do not have a sister who can see the future. Alice has turned quite a few pranks around on me.
Webster’s dictionary defines a practical joke as a gag or stunt or trick to purposely make someone feel foolish or victimized, usually for humor. I try to keep mine funny, less anger and backlash from the people you pull them on. Many people wait till April to pull pranks but let me tell ya, everyday should be April fools. The element of surprise makes for the best pranks.
Some of the best pranks I ever pulled were last minute decisions. Hiding Edward's CD’s in Carlisle and Esme’s bed, gluing cartoon clippings in all of Jaspers books...and my personal favorite, hiding all of Jacob's car keys from him...in Rose’s closet.
Often pranks can end in an embarrassing situation for the pranker as well. Hence the embarrassing story of having to call Jasper “The man” but that’s a whole new story. What are some of the best pranks you have pulled or heard of? Send me an email at GrizzlyEmmettCullen@hotmail.com and maybe you will see them in a future article.
