I couldn't wait to play a prank on my sister with it. One morning, I put it in the shower just before my big sister went into the bathroom. I waited outside the door. I heard a really loud scream and my sister ran out of the bathroom. I thought it was really funny, but she was really cross when she found out, and chased me round the house. I feel bad about it now, it took her ages to get over it because she was so shocked. Kate44: Last February, I sent my brother a Valentine's card. In the card, I wrote 'Be my Valentine! With love from ???’, and I tried to disguise my handwriting. When he opened it, he looked carefully at the writing, and I thought for a moment he realised it was from me. But there was a girl in his class who he liked, and he thought the card was from her. He seemed really pleased and he decided to ask her out, and now they're going out! Eventually, he found out she didn't send it. He immediately suspected me, so I owned up. He was a bit cross, but he forgave me because of the happy ending.

Trò đùa của Dave338:
- Childish: Đây là trò đùa dành cho trẻ con, không được trưởng thành.
- Funny: Trò đùa này khiến Dave338 cười và thấy vui vẻ.
- Cruel: Mặc dù Dave338 cười, nhưng trò đùa làm cho chị gái của anh ta shock và tốn nhiều thời gian để đưa ra hậu quả.

Kate44's prank was more light-hearted and harmless compared to Dave338's. It was a clever way to play a joke on her brother without causing any harm or upset.

While Dave338's prank may have been funny to him, it could be considered cruel to his sister as it caused her shock and distress. It's important to consider the impact of pranks on others before playing them.

The prank played by Kate44 with the Valentine's card was clever and funny. It had an unexpected outcome and resulted in a happy ending for her brother.

I think the prank played by Dave338 with the plastic spider was childish and predictable. It was a typical prank that many children would play on their siblings.
