It’s become apparent that my husband thinks I’m gullible. If I had a dollar for every time he’s tried to pull a fast one over on me, I’d have a new winter wardrobe!
Seriously the man thinks I’ll continue to fall for his little pranks…..think again, mister! The days of falling for the foolishness are over! (I hope) I’m catching on to these little jokes! It’s become fairly common to hear the words ‘say you swear’ come from my mouth in ordinary conversations when he’s just told me something that seems the tiniest bit far-fetched!
Most recently (last night) he tried to pull a prank over on me (that many people have fallen for according to the number of Youtube Videos you'll find when you search "bowl of water ceiling prank".)
NOT ME SUCKAAAA! I suppose he thinks I’m oblivious to viral pranks floating around the Internet. Newsflash: I’m surfing the web ALL DAY at work…I’m immersed in social media and chances are if a video becomes a viral phenomenon…I’ve probably seen it thanks to a room of 60 social media scavengers that I call co-workers.
Rather than try to describe the prank…you can just watch it for yourself…
Now for our little convo
Husband: "Hey…I have this really cool magic trick to show you!"
Me: (hesitation in my voice) "You do?"
Husband: "Yeah…give me a second"
(he goes into the kitchen…Fills a plastic up with water and grab the swiffer sweeper)
Me: "What kind of trick is this?" (more hesitation in my voice)
Husband: "You’ll see... "
Me: "Oooooook" (doubting there's any magic involved in what he's about to show me)
Husband: “Ok…come check this out....”
Me: “No…You show me…” (I watch the madness unfold from my spot on the couch)
Husband: “Ok I’m going to place this cup of water on the ceiling” (the proceeds to hold the cup of water up to the ceiling and while the holding the pole of the swiffer in his other hand) “Now I need you to come over here and hold the swiffer in place for me” (begins to place the pole to the bottom of the cup)
Me: "WHAT?!!? NO!!! Do you really think I’m that stupid!?!? I’ve seen this trick! You’re going to get me to hold the pole...then you’re going to run off! NO….I DON’T THINK SO!!!”
Husband: “Awww man! You’ve seen this trick?”
Me: “Yeah….and you’re a dummy for thinking I’m going to fall for it!”
He walks back in the kitchen…cup and swiffer in hand…head hung low!
