Ah, the simple joys of having children.

One of the simple joys of having children is that you get to pull all the pranks they've never seen before on them for the first time.

I just had my youngest, 10, make a fist with her thumb inside, to protect her thumb I said, and punch me in the arm as hard as she could. She was very enthusiastic about getting a free punch in, and hit fairly hard, and then yelped when it hurt her thumb. Lol!

Then she ran upstairs to play the trick on her older sister, who'd already knew it of course, and, while I'm not sure exactly how it all played out, I heard her yelp again and her older sister came downstairs laughing.

It was all in fun and nobody is traumatized for life or anything. But she's is trying to figure out how she can use the new trick on her friends at school.

Ah yes, the old saran wrap over the bedpan trick.

 

[JTsyo]

yea, she'll just wait until you're old enough to forget the pranks and then get you with it everyday.

 

[Newbian]

Ahh yes, teaching them young to beat up people..

I can't wait to get home tonight! There will be mischief in the Jones household.

Ah, the simple joys of having children.

I used to grow jalapeno and banana peppers in the backyard. My 2 youngest kids (around 2 and 4 years old at the time) would go out to the plants, pick the peppers when they were small and eat them.

When a jalapeno is small it is not hot. Its only after the seeds form does the pepper get hot.

One day the kids came running into the house, and one was crying like they were in pain. The kid that was not crying said the other one ate a pepper. In their hand was half of a huge red jalapeno pepper.

I told them not to be eating those peppers, and it finally caught up with them.

The kids are now 15 and 17, and we still laugh about it.

More like "...just wait a few years until you have two teenage daughters in the house... and at the same time, no less! D: D:

I used to hide under their beds while they were going thru their night time bed time routine. I would wait until they had gotten into bed & settled, then very quietly slide my hand under the covers ... amazing how one little poke in the ribs can cause such a huge commotion.

In their twenties now, they tell there work friends what I did and they all laugh.

One of many practical jokes

Wait until your old and feeble, payback is hell.

I remember when my mom and uncle and aunt teamed up and took me snipe hunting when I was about 6 or 7... good times....

 

[blackdogdeek]

[purbeast0]

My 10 year old is terrified of the dark. Soooooooo, when it's time for bed and he's in the restroom doing No. 1, I will flip the light switch off. He's gotten real good at stopping his peeing quickly while in the midst of screaming like a girl.

I tricked my kid into eating dog food once.

It was dry dog food in a plastic grocery bag and it really did look like the bag was full of nuts.

I tricked my kid into eating dog food once.

Thats it?

When my daughter was 5 or 6 years old, we were giving the dog some doggy treats, when she said "I wonder what they taste like?" I told her "I will eat one if you will."

I got a doggy treat, took a bite, chew it up, swallow, make a comment, "that taste good" then eat the rest.

My daughter is standing there looking in disbelief. She ask something like "how was it?" And I said something like "that was good."

She takes a bite, chews once or twice, runs to the trash can, spits it out and makes a comment that it was nasty.

I was lol'ing. At least now she can tell people what doggy treats taste like.

This thread is illuminating. I think I finally understand why all the kids I went to school with were such mean bastards.

 

[dabuddha]

Yep I'm still stealing my 4 year old's nose!

You should show her how a match can burn twice. After that you can show her how you can hold her to the floor with a single piece of thread.

Whenever I offer to show my kids a trick I get a sideways glance and they try to get another kid to do it first...

Bigfoots pet bird.

The bird has escaped, you need to find it and return it to bigfoot. Or else bigfoot is going to freak out and kill all of mankind.

Is that anything like a new sailor being set out on watch against "Sea Bats"?
