Easter prank

Every year (for goodness knows how long) I put these little expanded foam eggs in the sweetie dish for Easter weekend. EVERY year DH and both now-adult DC fall for it. Is it silly to still find it hilarious?

I couldn't find this funny, sorry @LadyMonicaBaddingham

If you like it, and so do they, great!

Bit of a choke hazard! I hope the ones that have already been put in their mouths have been thrown away rather than re-used!

I hate stupid pranks like this. They're just making fun of other people and feeling superior.

Surely they're just humouring you now, which is nice of them. Maybe stop making them feel like they have to do that, the joke must've worn thin.

Why don't you just buy edible eggs for everyone to enjoy? I would've thought this was a "one time only" joke, and not something to do every year. Also, someone might choke on them.

Nah, it's passed into family tradition. They're probably humouring you, OP, but that's cute

NetflicksAndSleep · 20/04/2025 18:49

They don’t fall for it. They’re humouring you.

DiamondEyes976 · 20/04/2025 18:53

There’s some right miseries on here. If you enjoy it, you do you OP. I agree it sounds like a little tradition now and is completely harmless. Choking hazard ffs 🙄

OP- Maybe they just feel sorry for you that you find it so hilarious and they carry on with it for your benefit!

After years of working in A&E and seeing the real life consequences of 'funny pranks' I don't find it funny in the slightest.

CandyLeBonBon · 20/04/2025 19:04

Fall for what? That they’re fake eggs? I guess it’s funnier in person? As long as you all find it funny, crack on!

Gotthemoozles · 20/04/2025 20:54

Wow the sourpusses are out in force tonight. This prank would be well received in my house, OP - everyone would find it at least a bit funny, and some would find it hilarious. Ignore the misery guts!
