My (16f) dad (46m) loves pranks. He regularly watch those old prank vids on YT for hours then try them out on everyone around him. Once I heard my mom screaming upstairs and ran to see what happened. It turned out dad poured a bucket of ice water on her while she was in the shower. Another time I walked out to my car and found it missing. I ran back in the house crying because I thought it got stolen. My dad was laughing so hard he was almost on the floor. He moved my car. I love dad but sometimes it’s exhausting living with him.

My older sis Jessie (24f) lives out of state. A month ago, she told us she’s coming to visit and bringing home her boyfriend David (I don’t know his age but he looks to be in his older 20s) for us to meet him. Jessie usually likes the pretty boys who wears polo shirts and are around 6 feet tall (this is important, trust me). When dad heard about it, he was so excited he couldn’t hold it in. He ran out and bought the hottest hot sauce he could find. He showed it off to me and mom and told us he’s going to make a special plate for David. Of course I told my sis but she told me not to worry about it.

When she came home last night and David walked through the door, we were all shocked. David is a little shorter than sis and a full head shorter than dad. He looks like someone shaved a pit bull and forced it into a sports jacket. I’m not talking about the cute ones you see running downstairs and taking showers with their owners. He looks like someone stuck him into a blender and he won. When he went to shake hands with dad, I can see David had wider shoulders, bigger hands, and his forearms was 2x as big. I could also see and was staring at this scar on the back of his hands and ran up pass the sleeve of his dress shirt.

Dinner rolls around and David compliments mom on her cooking, which surprised me. I asked if he really likes it he said yes. Sis and I looked at each other and we instantly knew dad didn’t spike David’s meal. I asked dad if David got the right plate or if there was a mix up. Then I told David dad had prepared a special plate for him. Dad’s face turned bright red and he told me to eat my dinner. Of course I didn’t so I said I’ll go check the kitchen to get the right plate. Sis was trying so hard not to laugh and poor David was confused. Mom squeezed my leg hard so I knew the fun was over.

After sis and David left, dad yelled at me for embarrassing him. Mom told me to apologize but I refused saying that I was only trying to help dad out with the prank. I’m grounded until I apologize.

Did I go too far for embarrassing my dad? AITA?

Update:

Thanks for reading my post! Even the people who called my TA, you took the time to read it!

I’m still grounded but it won’t start until sis leaves so I spent the day with her and David. He’s the funniest guy I’ve ever met. He kept sis and I laughing most of the afternoon. He’s also super sweet. He opened the doors for us everywhere we went and pulled out sis’ chair for her at the restaurant during lunch. I like him alot. It wasn’t all good times because they were always holding hands and kissing. I stopped doing that freshman year.

My visual description of him was not to say he’s ugly but I meant to say he’s the scariest guy I’ve ever met irl. I felt like a queen today because everywhere we went, people just got out of the way.

Anyway, thanks for taking time to read my post!
