Jenni on Skype: jclayville 
Yesterday… I went to go pick up my son, Chance, from school.
Within 3 minutes, I received DM’s (Direct Messages from Twitter) from friends that said, “I think your Twitter account has been hacked.”
See these two:
Let me lovingly introduce you to… Jay McKenney (@jaymckenney) & Tyler Braun (@tylerbraun).
I am SO glad I take photos of EVERYTHING and keep them all filed away for moments such as these. These two wonderful boys “broke” into my house and had some fun.
To be honest, I probably deserved it from Jay. We’ve been pranking each other for YEARS. I’ve played PLENTY of pranks on him… including the all famous “TIN FOIL” incident… when a team of us tinfoiled every last surface of his office. It was epic. However… Tyler is a new player. He and his wife, Rose, were in our small group when we were at our last church and we’ve never pranked each other because they’re just so sweet. But apparently, Ty has been hanging out WAY to much with Jay.
Anyway…
I quickly logged on from my iPhone to see what was going on and saw these following EIGHT tweets posted. I tried to clear up what I could from my iPhone, but could only do so much. You can click on the photo below for an enlarged view (I’ve conveniently marked which ones were NOT mine and which ones were… Tweetdeck = Jay. Echofon = ME).
I quickly realized I hadn’t been “hacked”… but THEY were in my HOUSE. Ok… I didn’t know Ty was there till a bit later… but these tweets had “Jay McKenney” written all over them. I immediately called Jay. But he wouldn’t pick up. Of course not. Who picks up the phone when they are doing evil work? So, I called my neighbor, Laura… who by the way, is the WORST liar in the world… and figured it all out.
Chance and I rushed home and found our home VIOLATED!
While Jay was twitter-pranking and changing settings on my laptop (trying to steal passwords so he could do it from home as well… jerk), Tyler ran around the house and re-arranged as much as he could. He did good. We found:
- the couches turned TOWARDS the walls
- my earbuds IN my guitar
- the ice cream IN the fridge, not the freezer
- our bread IN the freezer
- candles that were once evenly situated, grouped in one bundle
- sheet music hidden
VIOLATED…
… but not for long. My vengeance is coming.
Oh… and I believe that God is blessing me at this moment. I have some pretty creative ideas… that’s the core of who I am… BUT the ideas that are stirring within me are SO AMAZINGLY fantastic right now that I know they MUST be from God Himself.
Stay tuned… no one knows when it’s coming… but when it hits — it will be UNMISTAKABLY glorious.
What’s the best prank you’ve ever played?
OR
What’s the best prank ever played on YOU?
This.
Is.
Amazing.

I’m feeling pretty guilty right now. I pulled some really “great” pranks…but they all happened before I knew Jesus and I really don’t think I should share them.

I am so sorry to report I have moved from the country and won’t be back for five years and will have no contact by any means electronic or otherwise starting today. Hopefully when I get back we can resolve this.

Wow! And this whole time I thought that Jay sucked! He has totally redeemed himself in my eyes.

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I can’t believe they told Sara that Riley is ugly!

i KNOW!!! who in the world could ever say Riley was ugly. i’m getting them back FOR sara & riley!
[Reply]
What Jay failed to mention is that we’re both leaving. God has convicted us to the point of us needing some time away from our evil culture in order to be closer with God. We’ll be on an undisclosed island.

we have the same entertainment center, mostly. Mine doesn’t curve at the top, just straight.
And I am TERRIBLE about pranks. I either go over the top MEAN, or totally lame.

Sigh.
Teenagers.

What’s with no-one ever answering your questions Jenni?
Best prank I ever played was documented (sketchily) in a song. You keep reminding me of it.
As does our bass nearly every time we see him… 20 years later.
And I honestly can’t remember many pranks that have been played on me. Can’t have been too memorable can they?

[Reply]
This is hillarious!!!
I’ve never been pranked before, and I’m glad because I don’t know if I’d be able to handle it as well as you have
Can’t wait to read about your retaliation when it happens!!!

girl… i get pranked OFTEN, mostly because i’m a prankSTER. keeps us on our toes. i love a good laugh.

We used to have pranks in the church office all the time…they’ve slowed down quite a bit in the last year or two. Our best was when my team stuck the easter marshmallow “Peeps” on our pastor’s door that spelled “chill out”. A phrase that kind of gets under his skin when people say it to him. Sadly, he saw us as we were leaving and promptly got back at us by placing a stink bomb in our office. Fun times…fun times.

stink bombs are the worst! they get EVERYONE!
[Reply]
That is hilarious! Even funnier to watch it unfold on twitter…
Pranking is awesome…as long as no one gets hurt
As an RA and later an RD in residence halls at private schools…I have definitely done my share of pranks and had my share done to me.
Then, when I was in Graduate school, we had a prank war going with some guy friends. We got them really good one time-so good we almost felt guilty
and they kept threatening to retaliate-but never did! It is only fun when you retaliate!
When I interned at a church in Lubbock, we got our preacher’s house good one time for his 50th birthday. We took little tiny marshmallows and spelled out “Happy birthday” on his garage door windows, and then spelled “Happy 50th” or something like that with old donuts in his yard. When the sprinklers came on the next morning, it kind of discolored his yard with the frosting and sprinkles
He is one of my really good friends and to this day does not know I was a part of that fun…crap, is he reading this blog? 
Fun times…

hahaha! awesome! i would have eaten all the donuts though.
[Reply]
I’ve never played a prank. I don’t have a sense of humor.
[Reply]
They’re downfall is that it appears they were impulsive … more thought and planning could have resulted in whole rooms being moved around in your house. Now that would have been epic. I’m confident they have messed with the wrong person.
Look forward to the response …
[Reply]
so brilliant!
and i can’t wait to see what you do as payback!
