Hearing your parents cry over spilled milk is no fun. But watching them cry over fake spilled milk is pretty entertaining (for you, at least). Just use puff paint from a craft store and glue to mix up one big, fake mess.
what you need
* White puff paint
* White glue (Elmer’s glue or a similar brand)
* A disposable cup (paper or plastic)
* A stick or plastic spoon
* Waxed paper
what you do
THE SETUP
1 First make the “milk.” Mix together about ¼ cup puff paint and ¼ cup glue with a stick or a plastic spoon in the disposable cup.
2 Carefully pour some of the paint onto a piece of waxed paper until you have a small puddle. Place the cup on its side at the edge of the puddle so it looks like the liquid just spilled out.
3 Let the paint dry completely. That could take three to four days.
Alternate method
You can skip the cup and just pour some paint on waxed paper and let it dry for a few days. Then peel it off and place it next to a half-full glass of milk.
PULL THE PRANK
1 When the paint is completely dry, carefully peel the spill and the cup off the waxed paper, using your fingernail to get it started.
2 Leave the fake spill (including the overturned cup) on the kitchen table or counter where someone will see it. Press down the edges of the spill if necessary.
3 Wait nearby so you can hear your victim’s reaction. For extra entertainment, run in, grab a sponge or paper towel, and hand it to your victim. See if you can get the person to try to clean up the fake spill.
