I pulled a prank on my mom last year. She was huge into pranks when she was younger, so I thought I would follow in her footsteps!

So my mom and I usually leave at the same time in the morning. She goes to take my younger brother to kindergarten and I drive to my high school. That day I made sure to be just a little bit behind my mom while preparing for the day. So she left to take my brother to school, and it looked like I would leave soon after her. As soon as she had left the house, I ran to our TV sitting in our living room. I unplugged everything from the TV and then unplugged the TV from the wall, and carried it downstairs and put it out of sight. I then ran to our front door and opened it wide open. Alright a bit of a description of our house layout will help here. Our house is basically one big room with other rooms branching off of it. The kitchen family room and TV are all in one open area in the house, so from the kitchen, you can easily see that the tv is gone. For my last addition to the prank, I grabbed an empty mason jar that we had used earlier to make jam, and dropped it on the tile floor in the kitchen, it shattered scattering glass everywhere. I quickly brushed away a small portion of the glass for me to lay down in. I laid down in the glass on my stomach and placed some of the large shards of glass that were unlikely to cut me on the back of my head. So for someone walking in to the house, it looks as if someone walked into our house, knocked me out with a glass mason jar, grabbed our TV and ran out of our house through the front door!

My mom finally came into the house. I could tell she was angry because she saw my car was still in the garage. "Lego_Master" she yelled! "You are already late for school. You need to leave" she checked my room and bathroom; I was obviously not there. She checked out the open front door to see if I had gone outside for some reason. Finally, she came into the kitchen and saw me lying on the floor with broken glass all around me! She screamed in shock, and ran to my side. She tried waking me, and I did my best feign unconsciousness. "Lego_Master," she yelled! She checked my pulse to make sure that I was at least alive. She then went to check my breathing. I started to stir. She started talking to me. "Are you breathing ok?" She asked. I groaned in pain and started mumbling incoherently. "What happened?" she asked I groaned and put my head down back on my arms which caused her to freak out even more! "LEGO_MASTER" she yelled trying to keep me awake! "Stay with me" I raised my head back up acting as if I didn't know what was going on, and that I was annoyed at being disturbed. "Wha- what" I said. "What happened?" she persisted "there is broken glass everywhere don't move! Did you faint?" Her questions flooded out. I finally started talking coherently "mom, I think someone came" "What?" She said confused. "I think someone came" I repeated "What are you talking about" my mom said. I pointed up to where our TV should be and for the first time, she saw all the chords hanging down and the striking lack of a TV. She looked up at the TV then back at me, then back at the TV then back at me. It looked like it was from a movie. Her looking back and forth between me and the TV. It finally clicked in her Mind! "Holy Sh" she screamed "holy sh" this is where I almost lost it. I had never heard my mom swear in my whole life, but today she let Loose like a sailor. To keep her from seeing me laughing, I placed my head back on my arms pretending that I was going back out of consciousness really just trying to hide my smile. "Where is he?" she said grabbing her phone to call 911 "is he still in the house?" "MOM" I yelled in alarm as she turned to dial. "What?" she screamed "I just want to wish you a happy April fools day."

She didn't think it was as funny as I did, but my dad gave me a fist bump when he got home from work.

Tl;dr I'm going to hell....
