Kids changed the language on my cell phone to Spanish. I don't speak it so it was interesting trying to change it back. They have also hidden alarm clocks around the house (under the bed, in the cabinet, etc) set to go off about 10 - 15 minutes apart.

Hubby works graveyard shift. I put packing tape across our bedroom door (opens inward) from top to bottom. When he got up to get ready for work, he walked right into a wall of tape while he was half asleep. He has yet to get me back in the 2 yrs since.

Our family story is when my mother, as a brand-new bride, put strips of cloth in the pancakes, so my father was unable to cut or chew them. Being a new husband, and sensitive to the fact my mother was a "new" cook, he just kept trying to cut/chew them!

Night before April 1st, all the 12th graders went around town and collected all the 'For Sale' signs they could find and had them all planted on the high schools front yard the next morning. Made a great year book picture. Relators were not happy.

Bubblewrap under or welcome mat. This is for adults. Kids don't weigh enough to pop the bubbles. If you can manage to place them just behind the wheels of a vehicle, they can make quite a bit of sound when someone backs over them.
