How NOT to Wake People Up

Are you a morning person? I'm usually not! I know that when I wake up, it's best to leave me alone for a good hour, while I fully awaken. Here are some ideas for how NOT to wake somebody up (please don't try these on me!)*:

1. Fill a bucket with water. Add in a few ice cubes (bonus points for adding in red food dye!). Creep up on your victim, and let icy water fall all over their head! They will emerge from their slumber cold, wet, and surprisingly clean.

2. Round up metal pans and tins, and arrange them on the floor. Begin banging on all of the pans with a metal spoon, very enthusiastically.  Note: this may also wake up the rest of your family!

3. Set all of their alarms forward a few hours, and close the curtains. At 3 in the morning, wake them up abruptly, screaming that they'll be late for school/ work. They'll be so tired, they'll believe you and hurry to jump into the shower!

4. Run into their room wearing a scary mask and flailing a broom around. Shout undistinguishable words, and pound on the walls. Note: This may result in a soiled mattress. :D

5. Grab a small, but heavy object. A brick will do. Heave it at the sleeper, while avoiding the head. The pain will wake them right out of their sleep!

6. Put headphones on the victim. Turn the audio up to max, and blast heavy metal music. Also, get a heavy-duty flashlight, and begin shining the light on their face.
