Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

“My kid discovered you can photocopy anything and now he’s trying to prank me,” Jennifer Griffin Graham wrote on Twitter.

Most of us who have children have already been through their pranking stages, so we can relate to her wholeheartedly. While we were fortunate enough not to have to deal with a child that was savvy enough to use a photocopier, we feel her pain.

That’s why we cannot stop laughing at this story. You might think that the prank this five-year-old has come up with is easy to see through.

In fact, this youngster is already pulling off pranks at an adult level. We shudder to think of what he is going to come up with next since he is already so proficient in this regard.

Once you have had the chance to see what Jennifer is dealing with, you will get a sense of the life that she is now leading. She can’t trust any item in her home because it may or may not be a photocopy.

For example, the prank that has gotten the most attention on Twitter is one that involves the usage of a sock. We would have been fooled, for sure.

It’s his attention to detail that gets us. This child could have photocopied any number of socks. Instead, he managed to pick one that would look as unclean as possible. For that, he gets our kudos.

We highly doubt that Jennifer is going to be as amused as we are but that’s okay. Mothers have a way of getting over these types of things.

Eventually, he will be out of the prank phase and he will be laughing about the good old days with his mother. Of course, you are not going to be surprised to learn that the young man got his father on board. Dads are always more than happy to partake in the tomfoolery, that is for certain.

It’s two against one, though. Dad had better be willing to sleep with one eye open now. After all, who is Mom more likely to prank back, her son or her husband? This is a very easy choice for anyone to make.

“Dad did the cutting. Kid is five and can’t cut a straight line; he’s just the ‘ideas man’,” Jennifer said.

What do you think of the boy’s prank? Pretty clever, right?
