How else can I screw with my kids?

I'm trying to think of ways to mess with my kid's heads. So far I've got:

1. Nod my head up and down when I say "no" and side to side for "yes"

2. make up gibberish words for common objects.

3. Die the milk blue or green at various times a year and tell them that's just what happens sometimes to milk. Then they will grow up thinking that the milk naturally turns colors on occasion and their friends will think they're insane.

4. Whenever i have to sign something for school, I will do it in pencil and erase several times, so it looks like they forged it and they will get into trouble.

5. Occasionally I'll make a chocolate-type dessert and cover it with gray, coarse sugar and pretend I picked it out of the cat litter box, and then I'll eat it after dinner. But, I'll treat it how adults treat alcohol and say things like "no, you can't have any. This is only for adults. Kids wouldn't like cat poop"

6. Have a room or door that's always locked and tell them their older bother lives there and can't come out. If they ask why, I'll say, "He really didn't do anything wrong, he just wasn't that interesting".

7. Give them odd chores like dust the underside of all the tables and shelves and have them count to make sure all 200 tooth picks came in the box. (that actually might be educational).

8. Tell them that indeed money does grow on trees. My job is to harvest the money and then put it in the bank. That's where I go all day. I will sometimes glue money to the trees outside to confirm this truth.

9. Make up a wonderful place better than Disney World and tell them we'll get there eventually. Keep telling them this until they're old enough to realize I'm lying. (this one is probably too mean).

10. Tell them there's a God. (I actually don't find this one very entertaining, I just wanted to say it first before any people in Y!A world say it.)

Any other suggestions?
I'm looking for humorous answers Jack. Thumbs down to you for being so serious.
Sorry I wasted your precious time while you're answering stranger's random questions. By bad. Didn't realize you were so busy.
I like the history one. Or possibly that slavery was just abolished like 10 years ago and every black person you see is just recently free.

Thanks Rikki. Exactly what i'm looking for. The Oreo one is great.
I guess this joke is over your head Mom? Fun fact: There was a time in my life when my shoe size was larger than my age i.e. I was 11 wearing a size 12.

Here are other things you can do :p Surprise!

Put snickers and toilet paper in all d toilets and bathtubs/showers.

Juice or Water?
Fill a glass with water. Add food dye so it matches the color of whatever juice you have in your refrigerator. Serve the "juice" to your family. They will be expecting something sweet and getting water so it will taste funny at first. Don't forget to watch the funny faces they make!

Wrong Cereal
Here's another prank you can do at breakfast: open up all the boxes of cereal and pull the bags with the cereal in them out of the boxes. Put each bag in a wrong cereal box. When your family members go to pour their cereal they will get the wrong kind!

Salty Strawberry
You'll need to prepare for this one. Bring two identical containers with one holding sugar and one holding salt. Also have strawberries. Don't show anyone your salt container. Have the sugar container out and start to eat your strawberries. Offer one to your friends and have them take one. Before they dip it in the sugar, call out something like, "Ewww, what's that?" and point to the other side of the room. Quickly pull the salt container and switch it with the sugar. Then they'll dip it in salt and their face will turn green. Everyone will laugh at the joke and so will the kid that eats it... although he may not eat strawberries with sugar anymore.

Minty Delicious
Scrape the cream out of Oreo cookies and fill them with white toothpaste!

time Warp
Turn all the clocks and watches forward one hour. Your 'rents will get up an hour earlier to get ready for work as you snooze for that extra hour.
Bouncing Showers

Sleepover
- When all the girls are sleeping, get all your ribbons and tie them in the girls' hair (at least 10 each) They'll wake up with really messy hair. LOL.
- When all the girls are sleeping, get washable markers and write all over them with the markers. They'll wake up and look in the mirror and be like, "what's that all over me?" It's hilarious to see the look on their face!
- For any sleeping girl, put their hand in a bowl of hot water. This will make them wet their pants!
- For the first girl that is sleeping, carry them out of the tent and lay them in their sleeping bag outside in the grass or on a trampoline. They'll wake up and be like, "Where am I?" It's hilarious!

Help! Umm something's missing!
- Steal all the toilet paper from the bathroom and the next person that goes #2 will be in for a little surprise!
- Steal all the towels and shampoos from the showers… you get the point… they'll have a small problem.


Early Riser
Get about three alarm clocks and set them all up for very early times. Hide all of the clocks in your victim's room and they'll have to get up and find them. By then they will be fully awake! It's hilarious if you're awake to see it!

School on Saturday?
On Saturday at a late time, yell, "Hurry up we're late for school!" then watch all of your family members race against the clock to get out of the house as fast as they can! Then let them in on the prank once they are all done! It's just too funny! BTW they may get a little mad… J hehe

Raccoon eyes
Before you go to a concert or something that you us binoculars for, gather all of your family's and friend's binoculars and put black marker, charcoal, or black pastel where the eyes go. Watch as they look into them and end up with raccoon eyes! Its hilarious to see the look on everyone's face that sees your family's "raccoon eyes". They may get a little mad when they find out though... J (BTW this also works with a telescope)

Other than to slap on a condom and use birth control behind your parents back? I'm getting worried, and they have to start teaching whatever they teach at such a young age that kids can't even be innocent kids for long anymore. I think it's the parents job to inform, and the communities job to answer the questions the kids are too embarrassed to ask their folks. I just read so many scary questions on here that clearly show a lack of knowledge.

When the parent is there, discipling other's kids gets trickier. Its the parents job to do that unless you are babysitting or having a play date without the parent there. So what if the parent does nothing? What would YOU do? Say, the kid threw a big piece of wood at you and the mother sat there (real recent event) or maybe their 5yo slapped your infant in the face and the parent just sat there? You can use any example you want.

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am in the process of planning my own wedding and I am having a fantastic time doing so. I have always enjoyed planning things: group vacations for my friends and I, road trips, etc... I could be described as a slight control freak and I am a perfectionist. I know I would exceed, and enjoy my career, if I were to make this a possibility. How do I do it? How do I get my name out there? How much do event planners charge for their services? I have a lot of questions, and hope that people who are self employed would be able to give me some pointers on getting my business up and running. Thank You in advance for your time and help.
