Fine then. But it's new for us fourteen year olds okay?! You're just probably getting a little past it...

Nooo way. I'm not trusting that, maybe sound turned right DOWN on the speakers. unsure.gif

Bob, I see you fixed that severe echo in your post tongue.gif
bobziekins
I just did it. Gosh it freaked me out, even with no sound on.

I have a habit of kind of jumping out of my chair, spazzing around for a split second, making no noise. Then realise that one of the cats are watching and so pretend I was stretching...

EDIT

Yes, I did fix the severe echo.

I don't know... maybe.
Last time I did that I got severely told off for making BOTH sisters (one older, one younger) burst into tears while I collapsed in laughter on the floor. I think I was about 10... one was 7, one was 13.

I might have to watch it first, to test it out.

My parents are unsatisfying to prank. They merely smirk at how I thought I'd scare them...

Once, my younger sister and I were creeping downstairs on April Fools day at 6am to set up a prank to pull on my older sister. It was pitch black and silent.

We wandered into the dining room, and something grabbed our legs and pulled us both over.

Turns out my older sister was hiding under the dinner table waiting for us after she'd heard us "secretly" discussing it sad.gif

Yeah, I called mum in, to "test" a scary video for me. She stood with her arms folded about a metre from the computer, while I hid behind her. Still made me duck in terror though... Funny though, she got nightmares from the Exorcist girl when she watched the film when she was younger.

Possibly. Hmm. Maybe I could enhance it by making a mask of it, then creeping into her room and waking her up muahaha.gif

She'd probably just hear me coming though. Knowing her. *Sigh* Or dad would get cross for waking them up.

I did pull this one prank though.. I checked to make sure dad had woken up, and was downstairs somewhere, and she was still asleep.

Then I placed this dummy I'd made by stuffing a man-size babygro with clothes, and putting a halloween mask on it next to mum.

Hahah, it was so funny. Especially as when she went to hug him, still half asleep, his head fell off
