Patricia: What are you doing?
Luis: I’m setting up a practical joke for Bobby. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he walks outside and finds his bike in pieces. It’ll be the best prank ever!
Patricia: You’re not really going to take apart his bike, are you?
Luis: I’ll let you in on the joke. He’ll just be looking at spare parts. I’ve hidden his bike in the garage.
Patricia: He’s really going to freak out when he thinks that you’ve run over his bike with the car, though. I think this is more cruel than mischievous.
Luis: Lighten up! When he realizes he’s the butt of the joke, he’ll think it’s hilarious, trust me.
Patricia: Couldn’t you just play some other kind of practical joke, maybe with a whoopee cushion?
Luis: A whoopee cushion? That’s child’s play. This practical joke is worthy of a master prankster!
