The best one I ever pulled off was doing nothing.

One year my wife got me with a random prank a few days before Halloween. I told her that it’s OK Halloween is coming, and I’ll get my revenge.

It turned out that she spent the few days in between checking everything and everywhere in the house. Every time she opened a door she did it carefully, in case anything jumped out or fell on her, she wouldn’t let me make food or drinks in case I did something to them.

By Halloween, she was terrified, but didn’t know what to be scared of. Her car was parked in the garage, and it took her about ten minutes to go into the garage, check around the car, get in, then open the garage door.

The day after Halloween, she asked me what the prank was because she must have missed it.

I’d completely forgotten about getting revenge five minutes after I’d said it to her…
