Hahahaha, I'm laughing my ass out. Remind me of a similar experience with my cousin. He wanted to prank me as a turn a corner, but I was scared and quickly took to the defence by swinging the local lantern at whoever it was only to discover it was just my cousin.

When we got home, they ask him how he feels, he keep saying 'what' 'what'
