A mean trick little kids play on each
other.
Requirements
Method
- Have the victim place his/her hand on the
paper, with fingers spread. Draw dots on the
page above his/her four fingers, and a square
above the thumb.
- Place the tip of the pen at the dot above the
pinky finger and begin by naming the dots and
figures you drew, like so:
"This is your house, (the dot above
the little finger), and this is Bob's house,
Jerry's house, and Stephanie's house,
(above the other fingers), and this is
the school, (the square above the
thumb)."
- Now tell the story:
"One day, you walked to school, by Bob's
house, Jerry's house, and Steph's house,
(draw a curve connecting the dot above
the little finger through the other dots, up to the
square representing the school). But you
realized you forgot your books! (draw
back along the curve you just drew to the dot
above the pinky). So you went home to get
your books, but you realized you were late for
school, so you had to take a shortcut!
(on the word "shortcut", draw a line across their
hand from pinky to thumb.)
Result
The victim now has a line across the back of
their hand.
