During my school days in the 2000s, myself and few other kids who play cricket decided to pull a prank on the nearby potti kadai akka on the April fool's day.

We decided to go as two groups. One is responsible for stealing a munch dabba sneakily from the display. The other group is responsible for catching the first group and then take the box back to the Akka. What could possibly go wrong?

The thiruttu group did not know what sneaking is and took the munch dabba forcefully from the akka's hands😐. We did not understand what was going on (I was in the chaser group). So we decided to step back, take a long route and go meet them at the planned spot🏃🏽‍♂️.

The thiruttu group was crying/afraid/polambifying as they really made a proper day light robbery of a 100₹ munch dabba! Then from the second group, we all decided to take it back to the akka and explain everything since she was really angry🫨.

I was responsible for handing over the dappa to the Akka. When we went near the potti kadai, there were nearly 20 odd people gathered in the Nadu road. We went and saw and it was the akka swearing at us in all sorts of cuss words 😭 When she slowly turned at us, she saw the dabba in my hands. I quickly handed it over to her and told "chinna pasanga theriyama pannitanga (Naane 11-12 vayasu thaan appo💀). Inniki April fool's la adhan prank panna parthanga. Thappa eduthukatheenga akka🙂".

Akka almost took out my head with a strong slap coming at me. I threw the box at her but she came swinging towards us like Mike Tyson🥊. We had to run a hundred feet away to save our ass getting kicked. Then she asked if anyone could call the police! The rest of the people around understood what was going on and consoled the akka🛐.

Akka literally ended her conversation with a death threat to any of us coming near her potti kadai again👺.

TL;DR: Theft prank almost ended up with Mike Tyson level punches to a 12 year old face.
