My inner-joker

not the creepy kind of joker from Batman

but the kind that teases and pulls pranks even when your siblings absolutely hate it

oops..guilty.

I have been playing grown up and sophisticated too long....a whole 3 months.

So with a mix of that and watching a little too much of The Office

I have this sudden urge to pull a prank on somebody.

My best one yet was when I was in 5th grade.

In Utah valley, you get to go to a camp called Clear Creek with your class for a week.

One morning at breakfast we were all sitting in the cafeteria and the principal comes over to talk to someone next to me.

His shiny pocket knife that is in a holster type thing is staring me right in the face.

So I slide it out thinking he would notice and it would go a little something like this:

"Nice pocket knife Mr. Cherrington."

"Thanks, Marlisa" as I kindly give it back.

...but he didn't notice...

so as I was thrown completely off not knowing what to do
{what was I supposed to do.."Hey I took this and you didn't notice?"}

So naturally I kept it.

I had forgotten about it at lunch when he stood up to make an announcement.

"This morning I lost my pocket knife..describes the knife..if you find it please return it for a reward"

Winner, winner chicken dinner.

Doing the touchdown dance.

So after giving it time to 'find' it

I walk into the teacher's cabin and give it back to him telling him I found it somewhere

{can't remember where my fifth grade masterful mind came up with}

Guess who had candy that lasted the rest of the week??

This girl.

Classic.

Now to find someone I can pull a prank on.

Preferrably at work but we'll see.

I'll keep you posted.
