One of the best pranks I ever played

My sister lives in the country. She likes to keep some ducks or chickens around to wander the yard and eat bugs. It makes a huge difference. So a few years ago when I was home, Tisha had 12 baby chicks in a set-up simular to this one.

The Chicks were all yellow. Now, baby chicks are not expensive...like a buck a piece or something. I decided to add to her flock without her knowing about it. Everyday, while she was at work, I would stop uptown and buy another chick. I'd sneak out to the house and add the chick I bought to her collection under the heat lamp. When those little buggers are running all over the place or bunched together, its easy not notice one or two more. After almost a week though, something started to look strange.

I was at her house and we were looking at the chicks and she said, "Wait a minute, I think there are more there than there should be." I said, "What are you talking about." ( I said it with a straight face...not easy for me to do) Tisha called her husband, Dewey up and asked him. He said he had not bought any chicks. The look on her face was priceless. We counted out the chicks and I asked her what she was feeding them...since they were multipling. She was not ammused.

That is when the witch hunt began for the person who was pulling a fast one on her. She asked me if I was doing it and I replyed with, "Do you really think that I would waste my money on a bunch of stupid chickens." Then she accused the neighbors, her father-in-law, anyone she could think of. Meanwhile, I kept adding chicks. Then I started to feel bad because all those extra chicks require extra feed. So I bought another big bag of chick feed, a new feeder and water container and topped it all with a big bow. Mean while...she was pointing her finger at anyone she could think of. If she would have caught me red handed, I would have confessed...but she didn't. Mwahahahaha!

I told her the truth on Easter. I thought she was going to kill me. Uncle Randy thought it was pretty funny. He said I should have put an egg in there one day, then the next replace it with a chick. That would have been good...but she was freaking out enough as it was.
