I believe that everyone has already wanted to do it or even did it.

Today I decided to bring you a very funny story from when I was a kid.

I was very quiet when I was a child, I loved playing with my toys and I didn’t have much work at home.

Back in the days when children played with dolls, cars and toys, nowadays we know that the mobile phone and the tablet occupy that place.

Going back to the story, I also watched a lot of cartoons at that time and I always thought it was very funny when some character would wake someone up with a bucket of cold water!

I thought it was very funny and I remember that at that time I was very curious to try and do the same thing to a person!

Send water to someone who is sleeping to wake them up.

So one afternoon, when my grandmother who was taking care of me fell asleep on the sofa, I went slowly to the kitchen and filled the biggest glass in the cupboard with cold water.

I went slowly to the living room so she wouldn’t wake up and I sent the water over her face. Hahaha How obvious she woke up all scared, not knowing what was happening!

I laughed so hard, however, she woke up so startled that she didn’t even remember to scold me for my behavior.

This happened when I was 5 years old and today, at 26, I still remember that day as if it were today.
