Driver Trap

I set a trap for our UPS driver today, complete with a box labeled '500lb' on a hook, a supporting string tied to a package, and a big cardboard 'X' on the floor. He didn't see it right away, but when he did, he took a minute to follow the string to the 'weight'. He didn't see the 'X' until we mentioned it, but we all had a really good laugh. I wish I had recorded his reaction because it was much more amusing than I can describe.

The funny thing about this prank was that the only person who noticed the trap (which had been up since three p.m.) was a six or seven year old girl. As her and her mother walked down the hallway, the little girl said "Look mommy, a trap!" Other adults walked right under it without even noticing. Yay, for kids!

Materials: old cardboard boxes, string, and an unsuspecting UPS driver.
