My husband isn't easy to prank. He knows me too well, and usually sees right through it. I once bought a purse on clearance. Original price was 99 dollars, and I paid 20. So I came home and told my husband I'd bought a 99 dollar purse, expecting him to flip out over the expense, and all he said was, "I'm sure you didn't *pay* 99 dollars for it."

But I did manage to get him one time. We had gone to the store and bought a crock pot. Included in the packaging was a "little dipper," which looks like a miniature crock pot. It's for melting cheese sauces and dips and such, and it holds about a cup. The crock pot itself holds six quarts.

So after we're home from the store, I go to the kitchen to unwrap the purchase, while he's on the computer playing games. I walk in with the "little dipper" one-cup deal, and I tell him, "Look what was inside that big box."

And he's like, "What? It was supposed to be six quarts!" He's getting a little upset, thinking we got ripped off.

Silly husband. I didn't say it was the *only* thing inside that big box.

He laughed.
