I think Dave338’s prank is extremely childish and cruel as it took his sister ages to get over the prank. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Dave338 cực kỳ trẻ con và độc ác vì nó khiến chị ấy mất nhiều thời gian để vượt qua trò chơi khăm đó.)
I think Kate44’s quite interesting but she shouldn’t have played that with her brother as it would have been a great disappointment to him if his crush hadn’t go out with him. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Kate44 khá thú vị nhưng đang lý ra cô ấy không nên làm như vậy vì nếu chị gái kia không đi chơi với anh ấy thì đó sẽ là một nỗi thất vọng lớn lao.)
Tạm dịch:
Sarah_B: Hãy kể về một trò chơi khăm mà bạn thực hiện lên bạn bè hoặc thành viên trong gia đình nào!
Dave338: Khi mà tôi chin tuổi, tôi đã mua một con nhện khổng lồ bằng nhựa trong một tiệm giỡn. Tôi không thể đợi để chơi khăm chị mình với nó. Một buổi sáng nọ, tôi đặt con nhện trong vòi sen ngay trước khi chị tôi đi vào nhà tắm. Tôi đứng đợi ở ngoài cửa. Tôi đã nghe một tiếng hét rất lớn và chị tôi đã chạy ra khỏi vòng tắm. Tôi đã nghỉ nó rất vui, những chị tôi đã phát cáu khi biết chuyện, và đuổi theo tôi quanh nhà. Bây giờ tôi cảm thấy mình tệ vì chuyện đó. Cũng mất khá lâu để chị tôi có thể vượt qua nó vì chị ấy quá đỗi bàng hoàng.
Kate44: Tháng Hai năm ngoái, mình đã gửi anh trai mình một tấm thiệp ngày Lễ tình nhân. Trong tấm thiếp, mình viết “Hãy là tình nhân của mình nhé! Từ ??? với yêu thương”, và mình cố gắng làm rối nét chữ của mình. Nhưng có một chị ở lớp mà anh ấy rất thích, và anh ấy đã nghỉ tấm thiệp là từ chị ấy. Anh ấy dường như rất vui vẻ và anh đã quyết định rủ cô ấy đi chơi, và bây giờ họ đang đi chơi rồi! Sau cùng, anh ấy cũng biết là chị ấy không gửi tấm thiệp đó. Anh ấy lập tức nghi ngờ mình, nên mình thú nhận mình đã làm. Anh ấy đã có chút cáu giận nhưng anh ấy cũng tha thứ cho mình vì cái kết có hậu.
