From the cheeky sound of a whoopee cushion to a spring-loaded spider rocketing from a glass，pranks（惡作?。?are a popular way of making fun of others and getting a laugh.While some experts point out potential negatives，pranking can also decrease stress，raise a smile，and strengthen relationships.
It's little wonder that best-selling children's author Matt Stanton has shaped his latest book around pranks for young jokesters.Part of his Funny Kid book series，Prank Aliens，is about a boy named Max who is searching for the greatest prank of all time.Stanton said that pranking in the home can build strong relationships between parents and kids.
"Some of the best relationship-building moments I have with my own kids are when I enter into their space，" Stanton said. "An adult joining in their games can be surprising for kids and bring wonderful moments of joy.It's a great way to demonstrate to our kids that we can laugh at ourselves and still feel loved and secure，" he added.
But playing tricks can come with unintended consequences，said psychiatrist Mark Cross.Pranks that are intended to harm or embarrass can anger the target and even ruin a relationship.However，Cross also added "Pranking can be good when the outcome is laughter for everyone，including the pranked person.It can be a great release of stress.When you laugh，you breathe deeper，which helps ease anxiety."
So why not try some pranks？Wrapping vegetables and shoes up as presents for kids on their birthdays always gets a great reaction.Putting plastic spiders in guests' drinks or placing a whoopee cushion on an unsuspecting person's chair is sure to cause a belly laugh.All these might just be good for you and everyone involved.
