    The idea of the phone prank is that you are there to enjoy the reaction. On the old phone, I just take the cord away--It's just as funny. Someone calls and they can't answer it. Takes a second to replace the cord. Lighten up folks. Life's too short--you must never have had cancer!

    I'm not sure how 'funny' taping the telephone is. The phone is your emergency link to and from the outside world. It should never be used as a toy/game particularly for children.

    This was usually followed by the rubber band around the spray faucet trick for our dad which incited far worse cursing and a stampede of children running for their lives. It still crack up thinking of it.

    My brothers, sister and I would be gasping for air while we watched our mom handwash the dishes with what she assumed was soap but was in fact vegetable oil. She would scrub and scrub and eventually begin to curse until our howls of laughter clued her in on the joke. Of course we had to wash the dishes but it was worth every minute.

    Last year my 8th graders lunch box was nothing but a large zip lock of baby carrots with a note on how we decided to eat healthier, on the back of the note was another message telling him his real lunch was in the office. I'm not sure who had more fun, me, or the ladies who were waiting for him with his real lunch in the office.

    An alternative to the miniature breakfast is to use a fried ostrich egg and a large salad server fork on a charger sized plate.
