Me and my daughter (13) like to prank each other.

Normal harmless stuff - Fake spiders in wardrobes, sent her a glitter bomb (her mum opened it - we spent the next HOUR cleaning it up and giggling), chillies in food etc.

Whilst cooking dinner I decided to put a fake cockroach in her drink, held down with a straw, so that when she moved the straw, it floats up. It was normal Vimto, so it was purple and thankfully plastic. This bit becomes crucial later.

I’m thinking this is going to be hilarious.

She sits down to eat, takes a sip, and up floats the cockroach. She spits out her drink laughing/crying. Her mum goes from 0 to 100 really quickly because daughter has just spat. She snatches the cup about to start shouting, notices the cockroach, screams, and throws the drink.

10 minutes of clearing up later, we sit down to eat, and I’m getting devil eyes off the wife while my daughter is snorting in laughter as she knows I’m in trouble.

The wife’s comment halfway through dinner was, " Someday you’ll act your age, not your shoe size." and hasn’t mentioned it since. Not sure how much trouble, if any, I’m in.

Tl;DR - Played a prank on my daughter and got in trouble with the wife.
