    LOL instead of writing your name in red start writing her name but only spell out loud your name then fold the paper (but leaving it slightly open up to see if she gets curious) & walk away to go to the bathroom (or wherever)…. When you come back she will have fainted from the shock… ( in her mind it magically switched your name in red ink to her name in red ink- the shock will make her faint. I did that to my Aunt every visit she did when it was Mother’s Day or April Fools Day or New Year’s Day or Labor Day. ❤😂🎉😊 The best prank ever….

    in my country we say "don't whistle or you'll have no money" haha
    especially if you whistle at your house
    and if you are saying that something is going good you can accidentally curse yourself or the person you said this about so you need to say t'fu-t'fu-t'fu (phew-phew-phew) or knock on something wooden three times to avoid the curse
