We all love a good prank. Or two. One time when I was a young fiddlestick, my neighbour and I tried to play this prank where we’d pretend that the neighbour’s sister had a phone call at my place (being the only place with a landline in my street those days had its pros and cons) and that she had to come quick to answer it. Before she reached the entrance of my home we jumped at her, screaming and throwing a bucket of water at her shocked face. Needless to say the prank fell apart when I realized I was supposed to only throw the water and not the bucket with it. I blame my waiwai fingers.  The bucket smacked her head and she went down like a sack of dalo. She was ok, but that evening I got a special hiding from my dad who broke the broom in two just for this special occasion. After that my neighbour and I didn’t see each other that much. The sister even less so.

Thankfully, Jonathan of Oceanic gets his prank on, which doesn’t involve concussions or figures of speech involving loose sacks of dalo, but rather…missing ducks.
