Q&A for How to Prank Your Sister

Quite possibly, it all depends on how relaxed your parents are. If you've pranked each other and maybe your parents got involved in pranking before, you're probably okay. But, be very careful with the pranks like salt in the cereal and dyed shampoo if your parents and sister share shampoo. In some cases, parents will be angry about wasting money, so think carefully before doing so.

If she regularly uses your lotion, put mayonnaise or yogurt in it.

Instead of using chocolate frosting on a cupcake, use toothpaste with brown and black food coloring.

Mix them up, replace them with lookalikes, and switch the bottles. You can also take some away.

It depends on who notices. If it's your parents you might need to explain your prank. If it's your friend you might be able to get them to help.

Put some salt in a drink if she leaves it unattended, put a pan of water by her bed so when she gets out her feet get wet, put tape across her bedroom door frame, or glue her deodorant shut.

Turning her room 90 degrees or backwards is a good one, or shift everything slightly closer to the middle of the room every day.

You don't need a phone! There are lots of pranks listed here that don't require any technology.

Try using a cell phone and hiding it somewhere subtle, like maybe make the camera face the regular way, and then "accidentally" leave it face-down on your sibling's bed/desk/etc. Good luck!

You should wait 2-3 weeks, because if you do it earlier, she might think you'll be up to something and after 2-3 weeks she will forget. A fake whiteout spill could work: you can make it by putting glue in a spill shape, then use real whiteout to paint it, then you need an empty whiteout container. When she's doing her homework, put the empty whiteout and the fake spill, then "accidentally" knock it over.

Try some fake vomit and make her think you're sick. A good recipe is white glue, then a drop of brown food coloring, stir, then add dried oats or crushed up raisins.

Try another spice like sugar or pepper. It'll appear normal but taste very different and should gross her out!

Does your sibling have toy trains? Hide a few of them for a day or two. She'll go crazy trying to find them, but make sure you hide them in a place your sibling will never look. Or, put them in weird places, as if they were trying to escape.

There's nothing to be jealous of. You're free to decorate your room too if you want to! If she's really good at decorating, you can ask her for help, or ask your parents. If you want to prank her, you could 'redecorate' her room in some silly way one day when she's not home. Just make sure not to damage or lose any of her stuff.

No, as long as you don't actually hurt your sister or destroy her property - which is not the purpose of pranks anyway - there is nothing to get in legal trouble for. It's just meant to be harmless fun. Try to do something she will be able to laugh about afterward, not something that will ruin her day.

Of course not! However, try to keep the prank small - don't do something that will upset/scare her greatly or get yourself in trouble. I recommend gradually changing parts of her room or something similar.

You could yell, "Help! There's someone in my room!" Then hide. When she runs into your room to check on you, jump out and scare her.

Embarrass her in front of her boyfriend. Wait till she has left, sneak in and start yapping about her embarrassing personality or her "other boyfriend" who was there earlier in the day...

You can apologize. Remember not to prank her for awhile. Also, don’t play innocent. It always works better to tell the truth.

You can spy on her while she's geting into her phone to see if you can figure out her pin. If that does not work, try to get it out of one of her closest friends.

Just say sorry, she's most likely to forgive you. Remind her that the story wasn't real and/or she has nothing to be afraid of.

Try putting duct tape on the bottom of her chair. She'll be so distracted by her phone that she won't notice until she stands up. You could also hide her phone and try to make her find it. (Just don't forget where you put it.)

Yes, you can do them to anyone.

Use pliers and pull it off. (This works best for plastic toys.) You could also sand it or cut it off with a knife, but I would ask your parents for help if you're going to use those methods.

Try waiting till they are distracted and just tiptoe as quietly as you can. Then make a howl sound and watch them jump five feet in the air.

If you have a broken or old phone (maybe an old iPod'll do the trick) you could smash the screen, put the broken phone in the same place that she puts her phone, and put on the case if you can.

Play a prank that your parents couldn't possibly mind. Preferably play the prank when everyone is in a good mood, so that you don't get in trouble. Also, when caught, don't be cheeky or mean.

There is this video on YouTube that explains how. You just have to play around with it until you press enough buttons that it actually works. Or, find a time when she leaves it on or copy down her password if you see her use it.

Apologize to her, tell them that you did not mean any harm and it was just a prank.

If you can't make her laugh, you can scare her. If she's scared of spiders, get a big fake spider and put it in her bed. You could also just hide somewhere and jump out and scare her. That one's a classic.
