How to Scare Your Sister

Sisters are great confidants, friends—and victims. Sisters are incredibly fun to scare, especially if you happen to be a brother. Yes, sisters are known to make that high-pitched squealing sound when extremely terrorized. You can scare your sister several ways, and you can have fun with it without scarring her for life. A few simple supplies and several simple steps are all you need to scare your sister.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Rubber Snake
• Rubber Eyeball
• Old Shoe
• Mud
• Red Food Coloring
• Miscellaneous Rubber Bugs

1. Put something in her bed. The old cliché is a snake, of course, but it’s cliché mainly because it works. Got with a rubber snake, rather than a live one, and nestle it where her feet are going to end up. You can also place it in or around her pillow.

2. Tap on her bedroom window. Sneak outside her window in the middle of the night and just start tapping. If she likes to stay up late in the living room to watch TV, you can choose to tap on that window instead. You can also bring a flashlight to shine in the window while you tap to add to the terror. Make sure to call it quits before she gets too scared, and let her know that it was you. You don't want to end up actually hurt from her confusing with with a prowler. Keep this trick short and simple.

3. Mess with the bathroom scale. Women quite often get obsessed with their weight. If your sister is old enough to be in this category, adjust the bathroom scale to add 10 pounds over the real weight. She will be screaming from the bathroom after this one.

4. Hide her favorite outfit. Fashion is another focus for many a sister, and her whole world will crumble in hideous terror if her favorite outfit has gone missing. This will be especially effective when coupled with the tapping, as she’s prone to think someone broke in during the night to steal her outfit.

5. Place something terrifying in her hair gel, breakfast cereal or shoes. Anywhere she doesn’t expect to find a rubber eyeball, giant bug, rubber rat or severed rubber finger will get the adrenaline pumping.

Tips & Warnings

• The best time to scare your sister is when your parents aren’t around. Even if she does rat you out later, the horror of the moment is much subdued.
• You can make a bloody footprint by mixing some red food coloring with some mud and mushing it on the bottom of a shoe. Don’t use your own shoe but borrow a neighbor’s or find one in the trash. Heck, leave the whole shoe under the bed while you’re at it for added fear.
• Once you’re done tapping on the bedroom window, make sure to get back inside pronto. She might tell your folks or call the police. You don’t need to be caught red-handed as a window tapper.
• Never put any sort of real animal in her way to scare her.
• Don't do any of these tricks if your sister is too little or too easily scared. You don't want to do permanent damage. Just play a simple prank.
