It would be even better if you could have them watch the replay on the security cameras. :)

That trick reminds me of our first born son -at 9 yrs old became quite the prankster that year. He bought a nickle with a nail built into it and you could nail it into something and when people tried to pick it up ..they couldn’t. Just came across that the other day. :)

It is amazing how many people who came in with “back pain so bad they couldn’t move” would be able to bend down and try to get the quarter.

Five minutes later he was sitting in the triage desk holding a urine sample with a drop of blood floating in it and blood dripping from his finger. Um, when you’re going to fake hematuria, maybe don’t ask the doctor who will be caring for you for the supplies to do it.
