This week's prompt reminded me of some child’s play when I was much younger, and in my days at university, I can't really remember if I fell for any pranks, but I remember two pranks I played on my friend and my mom. The first prank actually helped me know how deeply my friend loved and cared about me
One way or the other I’m sure we have fallen for jokes and pranks of others and others have also fallen for ours. What jokes, pranks, or tricks have you fallen for? What jokes, pranks, or tricks have you played on someone else? Share those good memories with us this week lets have soke fun!
One particular year, I was still in school (I can't remember the year, but it fell on April 1). Here in Nigeria, we call it April Fool, where the whole country pranks everyone, and when the person falls for it, you screen April Fool, and that helps the person remember the day and get to prank someone else as well.
My friend named Blessing went to class. I returned from a call early, and I remember it was April 1st. I quickly thought of what I could do, then I decided to prank her with an accident. I went to the room next to our room, called the lady out, and shared my plans with her.
The idea was that the lady would call my friend Blessing and inform her that I was involved in an accident and that I had been rushed home. Immediately, when she called Blessing, she screamed, began to panic, and requested to speak with me, but the lady told her I couldn’t really talk, which is why she called her. She immediately hung up the call She started to rush down home worried her eyes were full of tears when she got to the hostel and entered the room We just screamed APRIL FOOL for some seconds She was lost and when she realized she was pranked, she became furious and began to blame us for the nonsense prank She had to leave the lecture she was receiving The prank didn’t go well on her and I felt bad and I apologized for my actions
My second prank was on my mom. I told her I was pregnant, and she screamed and began to cry, saying that I had put her to shame and that my dad’s family would mock her. When she couldn’t hold it anymore, she began to hit me, asking me when I started sleeping with boys if I lacked anything. When the beating was becoming unbearable, I began to scream that I was joking, but she didn't listen. I managed to drag myself out of her arms and say aloud that it was a prank.
She insisted she take me to the hospital and run a test on me because she needed to confirm it, and she did.
Conclusively, that was my very last prank because it didn’t end well the first time. It was a crazy prank, but I still cherish those memories.
Thanks for reading.
