I had a BRILLIANT idea! Get your friend's phone, change your name to their crush's name in their phone, text them so they think their crush is texting them. Brilliant.
I was talking to my roommates about this genius idea on Friday. I've never done it, for fear it was mean. After talking about it, Bethany went on a non-date to get pupusas with a boy named..."Jr." She also changed the password on her phone so I couldn't prank her.
Saturday somehow my other roommate gets into Bethany's phone and changes it so that now my number says "Jr." and Jr's number says "Rachel". Let the games begin:
"Jr" (Rachel): I can't stop thinking about pupusas. How's your day going?
Bethany: That's funny, because I can't stop thinking about you!
Jr: Wow! Do you have plans tonight?
Bethany: I've got something going on. (*editor's note: HARSH!)
Jr: Too bad. What about tomorrow?
Bethany: The sabbath?!?!? Church, duh
This was when I reached a fork in the road. What should I do? I was starting to dislike this game because (a) I needed to call Bethany for reals and I couldn't and (b) as much as I think pranking is funny, I always feel guilty. So I decided to come clean by using a phrase that would reveal my identity.
Jr: SR Check! (*editor's note: stands for "self-righteous check")
Bethany: haha. How did you know about that?
Now I am dying. HOW CAN BETHANY BE SO DUMB? By this point I was in my bed, working on my Marriage Prep lesson, and I was desperate. So I wrote:
Jr: Come get in my bed with me!
Bethany: Jr! You sure pull off the Peter Priesthood act pretty well for being so scandalous!
Then she comes in my room and sits on my bed.
When I finally asked her about it, she said she knew the whole time! haha. Not only had I been talking about it the night before, but she looked in her recent call list and speed dial list and thought "Jr wasn't there before...."
Moral: Bethany is not an idiot
Don't try this at home.
Bahahahahaha! Evil genius.
ReplyDeleteI love the moral (Bethany is not an idiot).
You girls rock my world.
Oh, Rachel. You are hilarious!! And you're so right--Bethany is not an idiot. And neither are you :) I love that you were working on your Marriage Prep lesson during all of this..
ReplyDeleterachel, you never cease to amaze me :)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I totally would have fallen for this? I'm the guy who fell for the old, "Did you know that gullible isn't in the dictionary?" ... twice.
ReplyDeleteI SO tried this once on a boy who I used to have a crush on a few years ago. I switched the name of a girl he used to have a crush on with this really annoying girl in the ward who called him a lot. He caught on after a few text messages from "annoying girl" and then I got in trouble. At least I was amused in the meantime. And that's really what it's all about... our own amusements sake. Really.
ReplyDeleteJust clicked over to you from Becky. Now I find myself asking 2 questions:
ReplyDelete#1. Why didn't I click over sooner?
#2. How is it possible I just spent so much time catching up on your blog? Didn't set out to do that... but I did. It was that fun. Thanks. A lot. :)
So glad we can be blogging friends!
That is an awesome trick. I'm glad that I turned Beth onto pupusas. do you remember the time that Erni tricked me out of listening to an apostle of the Lord so that she could have cafe rio?
