Pranking the Kids, Had to Put it on You Tube!

We knew we were good parents, but this video just proves it!  Let me give you the back story here and let you watch the video...we got a new puppy a few months ago.  He has proven to be a great addition to our family, but he has also proven to be a lot of work! The kids have all been great pitching in for the most part, but they still have a lot to learn about dealing with a puppy, especially a Miniature Pinscher...he may be little, but he thinks he's big.  See for yourself: 

Yes, his name is "Uncle Hey Zeus", don't judge. We just have a weird sense of humor.  He just goes by Zeus.  Anywho...we have had an appointment for him to get neutered and Saturday was the big day.  Our youngest, (who is soon to be 9) asked us about the "procedure" as he called it.  He asked what they did with the parts they took out.  I told him usually they get rid of things like that, but us humans have been known to ask for the removed items.  He was slightly grossed out, shrugged and went about his day.  

Zeus is a tad bit spoiled, much like his big (dog) sister Maggie.  But this had to be done, no if, and or buts about it.  Maggie would be there to help him though it, and surly they could get along during the recovery, right?

So, here is after his procedure.  He was doing well with the pain and at that point was concerned with getting that collar off and EATING!  After this is when the prank begins...

We thought it would be funny to bring home what the kids would think were Zeus little testicles.  To pull this off, I took my oldest son with me to pick up the dog.  I let him in on the plan and on the way there we stopped at the store and bought a can a garbanzo beans. They looked rather believable to me!  Besides, it is not like they would know what puppy testicles looked like anyway, right? We put them in a specimen cup and the prank turned out like this: 

 

Cruel you say?  Funny you say? All I can say is this:  FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!  That was the best prank that we have ever pulled off and the reactions were priceless.  Some people have told us that paybacks are hell, but I don't think so.  This was the payback to the kids! LOL We deal with a lot as parents and this was just our little way of saying, "na na na boo boo...we got back at you!"  Parents of the year?  Doubtful, but we do love them dearly! Even if this video would make you think otherwise!
