My kids were in the library and I made arrangements to pick them up at the drug store across the street, as I had to pick up an Rx. When I saw them down one aisle, they didn't see me.
There were two 18 YO female employees talking- the store was empty. So I asked them to play a joke on my 15YO son and 12 YO daughter- accusing them of shoplifting.
The young women went down the aisle where my kids were and I went down the next one to listen. This is what I heard:
Salesclerk- "Hi kids, can I help you find anything?" DS- "Oh, no m'am we're just waiting for our mom."
Sales clerk- "You didn't put anything in your pocket, did you?" DS- "On, NO m'am, I was just looking."
By this time I am cracking up laughing so hard and had to walk around the aisle. My poor son's face was so red..... So he told me that the payback would be a b!otch. As all five of us were laughing, I told the women that while they were playing the joke on the kids, I had filled my purse with items.
I kinda felt guilty when I saw my son's red face. I did tell him how proud I was at how he responded so respectfully. But even though I feel guilty, I am still LOL right now as I think about it.
We just try to punk each other. My son had a blood capsule left over from Halloween and scared me to death when he was cutting a sandwich in half in the kitchen a few months ago.
I think we have to find things to laugh at and share with our children. I think the prank is a little funny, but, u have to know ur children. "No harm no file" I think moms can always find something to feel guilty about, but I think the OP had better be thinking more about the pay back that's coming. Let us know about it...

Oh how funny... I hope my kid does not think of pulling that prank on me.
And if I were you I'd be setting some boundaries with the kids, before they start saying some weird stuff about you to the neighbors! lol!!!
I'm afraid it's too late for that- LOL! Once in a while when they were little I would sneek up on them and push a whipped cream pie in their face when they were in the tub. Did it once when my DD and a friend were taking a bath together-they were about five and had about ten Barbie dolls in there with them. The girl's mother thought that her DD made it up when she told her. She had a more serious parenting style.
I worked with a woman who punked her daughter when she was waking her up for school in November. She sat on the edge of the bed and said in a perky voice, "Leslie, wake up. IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Her daughter just looked at her said, "Oh, mom, it is not, stop it." Then rolled over and went back to sleep.
What pranks have you pulled on your kids? Or them on you?
