How to Be Mischievous

    Train your mind. First you have to get into the right mindset. Look around, find something that looks just a little too perfect, and desire to change it. It may be your sister's hair, it could be a statue on a dresser, it might be your own trophy from some amazing feat. It may be your teacher's glasses, something written on the chalkboard or your boss's favorite pencil cup. Whatever it is, its where its been for the last 20 days or more in a row and that has just got to change.

    Do Small movements. Mischief does not have to be big. In fact, if its too big, it becomes either hooliganisms or outright naughtiness and you are not striving for that. Making mischief means striving to make someone wonder if they are going crazy, without getting caught. So, let's take some of the previous examples.
    • Is your sister's hair just so? Give her an exasperated hug. Gently slap her back while stroking her head, thereby messing up her hair without her knowing.
       
    • Is your parent's prized statue on the left hand side of the mantle? Move it to the right or across the room. Make sure its safe, so it wont break, but move it, without getting caught.
       
    • Is your trophy on your dresser? On a bookshelf? Wherever it might be, take it and put it on the fridge, for no reason at all.
       
    • Now for the classroom. Does your teacher put their glasses in the same place every day? If so, when their back is turned, move the glasses to the other side of their desk.
       
    • The chalkboard is harder. When the teacher steps out of the room to deal with something, run up and either erase something already written or write something unusual or draw a small scene. Keep it clean and small. The teacher should not notice it right away.
       
    • Same thing can be done to your boss. If they step away at lunch, move their pencil cup or rotate their computer in a new position. Do it in small increments each time so that they are left to wonder at the change, but not alter it back.

    Issue new verbal cues. Mischief does not have to be all action.
    • Have a desire to make strange noises? Pick a moment when there are just 2-3 people in a room. Say something random or just make a silly noise. Pretend you don't notice anything odd. Then keep silent for a long while. If everyone settles back down, after, say three to six minutes pass in silence again, do your sound again. Do not giggle.
       
    • Again, make sure there is only 2-3 people in the room. Sing just one line at a time in two to three minute intervals of your favorite song. Pretend you have headphones on, even if you don't. Keep your eyes closed for effect. This works well for the library.
