Uncle Bill and Dad’s prank wars

It was 1981 and my Dad was 8 years old and he loved pranking his older brother Bill. One day he asked Bill if he wanted to go and play cricket and Bill said “sure” they did a toss of a coin and Bill won and chose to bowl, dad was fine with that because he wanted to bat anyway, but when Dad bats he does not like getting out so he told Bill that he is just getting the bat but he really was going to get the superglue and the bat. He hid the superglue in his pocket and held the bat then he told Bill that he must have dropped the ball somewhere in the house so he had to go get it this time. While he went and got the ball, Dad superglued the bails on the top of the wickets then through the superglue into the house “I am back and I found the ball “said Bill. (About 20 bowls later). “Yeahhhhhhhh!!! I finally got you out,” said Bill “but the bails didn’t fall off,” said Dad “oh,” said Bill (2 hours later). “Lets pack up” said, Bill. When they were walking inside Dad said “hahaha I pranked you I superglued the bails on the wickets hahaha” said Dad “Grrrrrrrrrr I am going to get you back for that said Bill. (2 days later) It was late in the night, Dad was sitting around, then Bill thought of a really good idea for getting Dad back from the cricket prank. He went to Dad’s room and he wanted to tuck his sheets in a way that Dad can’t get into his bed, Bill tried but he couldn’t do it but he had seen it been done before so he got his sister Tina to help him and he knew that she would know how to do it because she had done it to Bill before, (1 hour later) Dad walked over to his bed and tried to get in it but he couldn’t, then he heard laughing coming from around the corner “hahaha very funny” Dad said “We pranked you” they both said. (3 days later). Dad decided to get Bill back, he wanted to catch a fish so he could prank Bill. He walked across the road with a fishing rod because the pond was right across the road. When he was walking down the driveway he saw Bill walk down the drive to go somewhere so he ran and hid behind the bushes so Bill couldn’t see him. He ran over to the pond and started fishing. “Yes I caught a fish” he said, I need to take this back home before Bill gets home. So he ran as fast as he could to get home, he was in Bill’s room he put the fish in his bed and ran out. Later that night Bill hoped into bed and he shouted “aahhhhhhh!!” “haha” I pranked you said, Dad. In the morning their Mum (my Nan) was over it, she told them to stop pranking each other or there will be big trouble!!



This is a Lockdown task, we had to write something fiction and I wrote about my Dad and my Uncle Bill some of this is true and some of this is fake. Would you like to prank your sibling?
