JFSinIL Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 we'd play on my mom back during my teenage years. We lived in a high-ceiling house with several hanging plants and lamps. My siblings and I would, on cue, tap each plant or lamp at the same time, to get them swinging in unison, then yell "Earthquake" and act startled. She fell for it the first couple times - then learned to look outside to see if the water in the pool was sloshing around. Try it yourself! It is fun to fake an earthquake!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Anyone else ever do this trick? What similar gags have you pulled???? Surely my nefarious siblings and myself can't be the only teens to have done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieMonster Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 You must have a very forgiving mother! Mine would have gone through the roof. And Dad would have been on her side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaC Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well we had an evil trick to make it look like we threw up so we could stay home from school :ohmy: We had a formula to put in the toilet and then called mom to prove just how sick we were. Doubt tho that you want that recipe :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
