Prank War: Mistaken Identities

Last week, Caleb attempted to prank Rebekah and me -the winning team- and failed miserably after he forgot the fact that girls will always stand up for girls, no matter what age they are.  A few days ago, Rebekah and I decided to prank Caleb in a small but quite embarrassing way.

Our prank would take the form of a window decal.

Most straight guys are generally insulted by anyone calling them gay, right?  Caleb is included in this category.  Imagine if we managed to stick a gay pride bumper sticker onto Caleb's back windshield and allowed him to drive around with it on the back of his car for a couple of days without realizing it... until one of his other friends finally pointed it out, much to his mortification.

Rebekah and I began our search for a gay pride bumper sticker.  We found one on the internet and printed it off on photo paper before self-laminating the "sticker" with masking tape.  It was rainbow-colored and bright, with the words "I can't even drive straight!" printed across the top.
The perfect tool for embarrassing Caleb.  We were sure to write "Muber!" on the back of the "sticker," so he'd know for sure it came from us.  Muber is Caleb's nickname that's a mixture between Frankie Muniz and Justin Bieber, his celebrity look-a-likes.
I played sleuth later on that day and casually asked Caleb about his schedule, pretending to be concerned about how busy he was... when in actuality, I was figuring out where and when Rebekah and I could sabotage him.  I also managed to overhear Caleb making lunch plans with some of his friends.  We had his schedule down.

Rebekah and I sneaked to the Italian food restaurant where Caleb was eating and saw the only blue car in the parking lot.  Automatically assuming it was Caleb's, we stuck the sticker on the back, took a couple of pictures, and drove away, chuckling to ourselves.  We'd succeeded again.  We couldn't help but feel delight at Caleb's upcoming mortification.

Later that night, as I was looking through the pictures from my camera, I noticed something horrible.  We'd put the sticker on the wrong car!  The blue car from our sticker prank was a different car from our Saran wrapping prank.  Looking at the two pictures together, even though one was taken in the dark, it's obvious the pale blueHonda Civic was not Caleb's car.

I immediately called Rebekah.  We were both horrified.  We'd pranked the wrong person.  Oh no!

Somewhere in my city, a stranger is wondering why on earth someone would put a gay sticker on the back windshield of their car.  I hope they got a good laugh out of that.  Rebekah and I sure did.

Our plan had been foiled, but not for long.

I'll share the next installment of our prank war on the twenty-sixth, so be sure to tune in.
