“My sister and I had seen a video on Tiktok about taking stuff from someone’s house and returning the gifts to see their reaction and we knew grandma was perfect for the joke,” says Paige Williams. WGNO.
“They took turns going to the bathroom, then took random items from her house and hid them in the bag,” Williams explains.
“We wrapped all the presents and told grandma it was a new game we decided to play at the last minute, so we bought her a present to play with.”
The family says the whole prank was all in the spirit of how their grandma normally acts – a funny woman who is notorious for giving pranks.
While they may have cut back when it came to gift-giving in 2022, there will be no more excuses this year after the video of the silly prank won the family the grand prize of $120,000 after being named the funniest video of The season.
