At 16 my friends and I made chcocolate covered Milk Bine dog bisquits and handed them out on Halloween. We had some irate parents but hey, it is trick OR treat. We figured we covered all bases. The kiddies would have nice tarter free teeth after all.
At 18 a friend and I ( this was the 70’s, hold your judgements haha ) had a bake sale to earn Cocaine money. We baked a bunch of cakes that were rather sad looking but tasted good and sold them on the corner of my girlfriends neighborhood with a sign that said ” Cakes by the handicapped.” We made up an elaborate story about how we worked with handicapped kids and the cake monies were for donations to the charity. We sold out in less than an hour and had our own party that night.
Those are the most memorable but there were many other smaller pranks as a kid, the proverbial fake dog poo on the new carpet that caused my mother to lose it.
Finding a large garter snake at the beach and putting it in a car driven by a group of nuns. ( I felt really guilty about that one but never saw an accident involving a car full of nuns that ran off a cliff of CA.‘s famous Hwy. 1 along the Northern CA. coastline. ) Putting a rubber snake in my grandmothers bed. I was in serious trouble for that one. haha
Telling my ex husband I wrecked his new truck as an April Fools joke. He bought it hook, line and sinker and the look on his face and subsequent melt down was priceless.
