A stuffed bear in a toy chest.

“One day, they came in and they took all of my stuffed animals.”

When I saw the word prank, I thought about how my friends in high school for, for some reason, I don’t know why they do this — they did this, but one day, they came in and they took all of my stuffed animals. 

So you have to understand, like, it — I lived in a small town. And our house was always unlocked, and my friend just lived about a block and a half away. So, you know, it wasn’t a big stretch for them to say, “Oh,” you know, like, “just go over to [diarist name’s] house.” They must have known that we weren’t home but that the house would be unlocked and they went up to my bedroom and they took all my stuffed animals and took them, like, I don’t know where.

But the wild thing was — is that when I got home, I saw there was like, just a stuffed animal randomly on our back steps. And I was really puzzled by this. Because I, I was like, you know, “Did our dog, like, grab a stuffed animal?” It — that’s nothing that the dog had ever done before. Had shown no interest in my stuffed animals. But I just assumed that’s what it was. And then I guess I never went upstairs for like, the rest of the day.

And my — so my friends were, like, so disappointed. They pulled off this kinda funny prank and I completely didn’t get it ‘cause I didn’t go up and notice.
