My sister called me the other day to catch up and chat. When I asked what she was doing she explained that she was sneaking over to our brother’s house to play a friendly prank on him. She gave me the details and I thought it was such a fun idea that I had to share it with you! It is fun for anytime, but especially if someone needs some cheering up! I love this prank because it will really catch someone off guard, give them something to think about and SURELY make them SMILE.
