Q&A for How to Prank Your Brother

Try this one: while he's sleeping in his room, sneak in and put lotion or Vaseline on his doorknob and close the door from the outside when you leave.

Say "Dear [your brother's name], I've kept my feelings secret because I was embarrassed, but I can't keep my feelings secret anymore! I love you, [your brother's name], and want to kiss you so bad. Maybe you could sneak into the girls' bathroom tomorrow at school and we could do this? Love, [some girl at school]." Type it so your brother doesn't recognize your handwriting, or have a friend write it.

Try doing something simple, such as hiding in the closet and yelling boo! You can also leave a plastic spider someplace where he will find it. Consider doing something nice for your younger brother afterward; this will lessen the chances of your parents getting mad at you.

Use a prank that confuses him or gets him wet. Try a bucket over the door, a fake love letter or change his computer wallpaper.

Try thinking of an embarrassment prank that he won't want to admit to your parents.

This depends on his age. Scary sounds are good for the very young, while scary pranks work on older brothers. Think carefully about the consequences though; scaring people can have lasting impacts and you can get into trouble.

Hide a walkie talkie somewhere in his room, and turn it on a low volume. Quietly say a few words in a weird voice into your speaker, and then don't say anything for 5 - 10 minutes so they can't track the sound.

If you can sneak it in your brother's food without your parents noticing, put salt, pepper, or vinegar in his food or drink. Spicy hot sauce works too if you can mask the color.

Try doing pranks that you think aren't scary. It also depends on the age. Aged 1-3: surprise hugs and hide in a closet; 3-5: fake pee in a toilet/food dye; 5-7: water above door.

Turn all the lights off in a room and hide. Then call him. When he comes into the room, jump out of the shadows and yell "Boo!"

Take some things that belong to your brother's friends and put them with your brother's things, so it will look like your brother stole them. Take something that belongs to your brother, and put it in a place where your brother's friends keep their things, so it will look like they stole it.

Prank both of them! It'll be fun.

There are other pranks that don't require electronics, so try those ones.

Play a game with him and say it's Hide and Seek. Tell him to count outside. While he is doing this you go outside as well and watch him count. When he is finished, see which way he goes. When he goes inside follow him quietly so he can't hear you. Then jump out at him.

Just do pranks that are harmless and don't hurt your brother or damage anything of his. If you do something mean or hurtful, you should be prepared to get in trouble.

If he thinks it is you, profusely deny it and give him a good alibi.

Yes, it is possible, but it would be a very bad and dangerous idea. Depending on how badly you scare your brother, he could cause an accident. This could lead to serious damage to the car, or death for anyone inside the car, including you. Your brother will probably also get very angry at you.

Make some funny drawings on his face and take pictures. But get his permission before you post them on social media.

Yes, of course!

The best tape is ordinary clear tape -- ideally the tape won't be visible, except upon close inspection.

You can still do the pranks that involve things like food. Try making a fake cake out of a sponge. Take a new, clean kitchen sponge and smear frosting on top and add sprinkles. Leave it somewhere your brother and his friend will find it, and they will probably dare each other to take a bite. You could also try dripping a few drops of yellow, green, and gray food coloring onto a bar of soap. They will think it is moldy. Lastly, smear vaseline, soap, or lotion on your brother or his friend's belt or watch buckle. When they try to buckle it, the buckle will be too slippery!

First, if you want to make him embarrassed just make up things that are not true. The second thing to do is if you are playing hide and seek you can play in one room that has a lock and make both of them count, and lock them in.

You can hide something weird like fake poop inside and decorate it really well.

Secretly bring tape and string and tape the string to the flash light. When it is dark and he tries to grab it, pull it away.

Just say your sorry and explain you just wanted to try something fun. Then ask him if he wants to watch a movie or clean his room for him.

Put on a scary mask and hide in a closet or a room. Then jump out and scare him!

Get a scary clown mask, then sneak up behind them and scream "I'm going to eat you!"

Not all pranks are easy to avoid. Do something that he won't notice until it's too late, like putting Vaseline on his doorknob when he's asleep or not home.

Try to use a light plastic bucket or put the bucket on the top of the door yourself. Call your brother. When he comes out of the room tip the water over while holding the bucket from the ladder or stepstool you are standing on.Then laugh and run away leaving your brother confused and wet.

It depends on the food dye you used, but it should come off with enough effort.
