An explosion of confetti

This one is easy: just cut up bits and pieces of colorful paper and place them on top of a ceiling fan. That’s it — you’re done. Just wait until your unsuspecting victim flicks on the fan, and voila: they’ll be showered with your homemade confetti.

Drive your friends bananas by sending them a gif of the typing dots.

“Hello, is Mr. Bayer there?”

This one will work if you have a landline. When your partner returns from a walk, tell them that a “Mrs. Focks” or a “Mr. Bayer” gave them a ring and needs them to return the call. The phone number will happen to be the direct line to a local zoo. Be prepared to be extremely entertained while you watch them ask the zoo employee to speak with a “Mrs. Fox” or a “Mr. Bear.”

Yum….mayo!

Fill a mayo jar with yogurt and devour it by the spoonful. Your family’s reaction will be priceless.

Frozen breakfast

Fill a bowl with cereal and milk, plop a spoon in it, and freeze it.

Serve it up to your unsuspecting mark in the AM, and watch as they struggle to realize what’s going on.
