#2-Short-sheeting

Why Short-Sheeting Is So Cool

In my book I described a prank Kevin pulled on me:

That night Kevin short-sheeted me. That’s where  someone unhooks your top sheet from the bottom of the bed, folds it up to the top end, and tucks in the sides so when you slide in, your legs hit the fold half-way down and can’t go anywhere.

Short-sheeting is a very old, very cool prank.

 

How to Short-Sheet a Bed.

4. Tuck the top sheet in at the top of the bed so it looks like a bottom sheet.

4. Tuck the top sheet in at the top of the bed so it looks like a bottom sheet. Fold the top sheet up halfway down the bed so its loose bottom of the sheet ends up exactly where the top sheet was before you started the trick. In other words, the top sheet looks like both the bottom sheet and the top sheet.

5. Remake the bed (covers, blankets, pillows, etc.) to look just like it was when you started.

 

6. Hide somewhere and watch if you can.
