The Ipod Prank

The second his father came in the door, Calvin sprang into action.

"Didja get me something? Did ya did ya did ya?" Calvin yelled repeatedly.

"No, Calvin this is for me." His dad said, holding a small bag with a rectangular object inside.

Calvin watched his dad get to the computer. The Mom came over too. "what's that, honey?" she asked.

"It's one of those Ipod nanos they have." He said, pulling out the small, shiny music player, which was purple. "Purple?" Calvin laughed.

"It was the only colour in stock!" his dad defended.

"Oh well, dear. What are you supposed to do?" the mom asked.

"Well, I have to install this program called Itunes, then I can upload songs from CD's or buy them from the store." The dad explained.

The rest of the day was spent with the Ipod. For Dad, at least. No one else was allowed to touch it.

"This thing is amazing!" Dad exclaimed over dinner. "I guess I was wrong about how the pace of technology is overrated."

Calvin looked at the he-wasn't-sure in disgust. Then he pointed out the window and yelled, "LOOK BEHIND YOU!" and began to race off.

He failed to see his parents weren't looking.

"That's the third time this week!" his dad said, throwing Calvin in his room. "Don't come out until I tell you!" He slammed the door.

"Gee, what happened?" Hobbes asked from the bed.

"Tried to run," Calvin said.

"Ah," Hobbes answered and went back to his comic book.

"Dad isn't fair!" Calvin stomped his foot. Just because he got a new Ipod for himself..." Calvin paused, and grinned evilly.

"Uh oh," Hobbes said. "What is it now?"

"Hobbes, we're going to improve Dad's taste." Calvin grinned.

Calvin went out and bought the heaviest, offensive and loud heavy metal CD in existence the next day. When Dad went out on an errand, he saw his chance.

He uploaded the whole CD and removed Dad's songs. Then he turned off the computer and placed the Ipod back where it was, after setting it to "shuffle".

Later, Dad was going on a bike ride. He got the ipod and rode away down the road. Calvin and Hobbes watched from the front porch, grins on their faces.

It must have been on maximum volume, as Dad did a front flip on his bike and sailed into a ditch, bike flailing into the air.

Calvin and Hobbes rolled on the floor laughing, tears in their eyes.

Hobbes got up, still laughing a little. "Of course, we will be in SO much trouble."

"Yeah, but at least I filmed it and uploaded it to Youtube!" Calvin said.

Later, "Guy Front Flips Into Ditch" got quite a bit of views. But thats a different story!

The End.
