Have you ever played a trick on Grandma?

That's sweet, pure fun! Again makes a difference in life! My grandma was a terrific smart lady. She was beyond and above all the usual superstitions even in her hay days. We were and still are very proud of her. My cousin brothers and her grand son-in-laws used to have fun talking to her, poking her, teasing her and cuddling this fair, spirited thing called OUR DIDA. One day, my cousin brother rang from US and asked her to talk to his girl friend. He wanted to tease her for he thought she would be upset over his decision to marry a foreigner. Dida, surprisingly told him that she couldn't talk to a FIRANGI since she didn't speak English! When his girl friend, now wife, who was an Indian, came on phone to apologies, she said in blatant Bengali dialect that she couldn't marry her man and if she had to , she could but over her body!! The girl bursted out laughing and their pranks fell heavy on them.

well,i did do a prank on my aunt.my parents are orthodox in their views about anything and everything,my aunt is double orthodox.one day,i did call her mobile and asked for her son,i am glad she didnot have an heart attack.she was like who are you,where are you from,what do you want,etc etc.she was so panic-stricken that she didnt even recognise my voice(i had tried to camoflage it) nor my phone number all my grandparents are not alive except for my paternal grandma,she is 95 and not keeping good health.

Grandma, didn't ground you ?. Remove you from her will ? Come to think of it i have tried and nearly pulled it off on my Aunt. I did not know she had a caller id device attached to her phone. She played along for a couple of minutes and then surprised me back. Made me feel quite stupid actually. I'm going to have a go one of these of days on an old Uncle who was known for his pranks . Let's see what happens.

I'm not the prank playing kind (rather boring!) and I wouldn't dare do it to my paternal grandmother who was a woman with an iron will. Since she couldn't run after me, she would remember all my little mistakes and pinch we when she got the opportunity (sometimes days after the incident when I would unknowingly go near her).

Hahahahahaha. I have not played any prank lately that I could remember. Well! My mother's mummy, 'Naani' as we call her, is a strict disciplinarian and any of the grandkids dare even so much as jump or laugh loudly. Leave alone the prank part. The less in her sight,the better. Phew!! Sweating already,at the mere thought. Its a different story with my father's mother,'Daadi'. She is a mild person, but a non-demonstrator. Her favourite past time is sleeping. This is an incident when I was very little. At that time she was about 70. I remember one afternoon when she was sleeping and my mom was feeding my newly born sister in the other bedroom. I was hungry and too young to reach the shelf for snacks. I tried waking her up and she wouldn't. So I climbed the bed and jumped hard and continuous.It was great fun seeing her bounce in her sleep. lol. eventually she woke up and to my pleasant surprise didn't get angry at all. She then gave me what I wanted. I feel embarrassed now whenever I recall.

I have been sitting here trying to remember any pranks I might have pulled on elderly members of my family. I honestly cannot remember doing anything like that. However, Hubby and his cousin used to sit at the table with their Grandmother and just mouth words. Grandmother would think something was wrong with her hearing aid, take it out and adjust it, put it back in. The guys would then just say a word here and there, out loud. Again, she would adjust the hearing aid. She would finally turn it all the way up, the guys would start talking in a normal tone, which was way too loud for Grandmother and her hearing aid. Then, they would ask her if she was ok, because she would yank the hearing aid out, turn it down, and frown. She would tell them that she thought she needed new batteries, or something because she was having trouble with the thing. They would just look at each other and laugh. They never did tell her that they were playing a trick on her.

my grandmother is 84 this year..and pretty spry for her age! she is also the type of person that when you are having a conversation with her and in the middle of a sentence you yell BOO! she will scream..and then of course whack you one lol! ok this was absolutely hilarious to me of course...in the back yard, we had a toad that was vacationing. we'd see him once or twice a week, but he'd never let me catch him. (yeah i try to catch everything, neat bugs, toads, snakes, spiders lol) after having always told grandma (who lives with me) that i ALMOST got him that time, over and over again..one day i FINALLY did catch him! and brought him to the back door for my 13yr old to see and pet, she told grandma that id caught him as she came out back. well of course the toad peed on me..after being petted and looking annoyed for a couple of minutes i put him back in his little cubbyhole and went inside and thoroughly washed my hands with hotwater and lots of soap..well cause toad pee is pretty gross lol! i did NOT dry my hands..instead i left them dripping wet and went into gradmas room and told her "i got him but he peed on me" and then i SHOOK ALL THE WATER OFF MY HANDS, while standing right in front of her!! LMAO! she got sprayed and immediatly started yelling and jumped up to whack me one..but i ran of course..cant let grams get too close or she will hold on and that enables her to land more whacks LOL! man she was mad! i was laughing so hard i very nearly peed my own pants..and went back in telling her how it was only water that i DID wash my hands! and then i ran again. it took her probably 2 hours before she came out and was laughing and telling me that i better never do that again! but she was laughing so that was good! being so proud of my accomplishment.i told many family members about it..it is apparently unanimous that it was a "MEAN THING TO DO TO GRANDMA..but it is funny..dont tell her i said that!" aaah..hehe, man that was great! quite proud of that one!

Yes, I have. I once went to her place for halloween when I was younger and decided to scare her with my costume. She thought I was a robber so I ran into the house and pretended to steal stuff. She was about to call the cops when I told her it was only me.
