“Dare you to spend the night in the haunted house.”
Dave accepted the challenge. He did not fear the old crumbling house with peeling paint and broken windows. He had spent many afternoons lying under the cherry tree in its backyard.
After dinner, Dave walked up to the house, plopped down on the dusty sofa and went off to sleep. At midnight, the grandfather clock in the living room chimed. Next, Dave heard a blood-curling scream. He jumped off the sofa and ran out of the house screaming.
Some boys were rolling on the floor laughing. Boys will be boys.

Thank you Varad! Ha ha, would like to know about your tale too!
Ha ha, you were spared, what about others he played the pranks on?? 😉
They scared him. Was it the clock or the boys or both?
I guess both scared him one after the other!
I think we all been there.
Agree, we have all either played pranks or subjected to them.
That got me thinking back to the things I got up to as a kid! Nice one.

Boys will indeed be boys – and girls can be worse!

Dear Anshu,
I raised three boys. This sounds about right. Had me laughing.
Shalom,

Thank you Rochelle! Wow, 3 boys – that converts to numerous pranks, laughter and someone in tears, I guess.
Such a fun read!
A good prank is always in fashion. Thanks for the smile.
That’s what happens when you take a dare like that.
