1. Create a dessert grilled cheese with pound cake and frosting. Get the recipe here.


2. Make your kids a mashed potato sundae. Of course, they will not be too happy and still want ice cream. Check it out here.


3. Make your kid think he or she is the most popular kid in the neighborhood.


4. Freeze their morning cereal. Just get their breakfast cereal ready the night before and place it in the freezer. As they come to the table, just place the bowl in front of them and watch their surprised face.


5. Stick toilet or tissues into the toe of your kid’s shoes. They may just think their feet grew overnight.


6. Attach a party popper to your kid’s bedroom door. This will certainly get them moving.


7. Sew one of their socks halfway down.


8. Place a “For Sale” sign in your front yard. If they want to know where you are moving… just say wherever you think they would hate.


9. Make your kid think the principal called. Just come up with a list of crazy complaints and act like you are really upset.


10. Place a piece of tape over the remote sensor. Watch how long it takes to yell for mom or dad to help.

12. Fix them a sunny-side-up egg using a peach half and yogurt.


13. Switch the bags inside two boxes of their favorite cereal.
