THE NEIGHBORHOOD — The best part of having a younger sibling is the pranks. Whether it's scaring them with a gorilla mask, refilling their toothpaste tube with hand soap, or swapping out their clothes with much smaller sizes, it's fun to mess with the little ones.

Occasionally, it can get out of hand. Especially when it comes to dares — like the time we ended up handcuffing my little brother to an electric fence (the less said about this event the better).

While I am now a staunch opponent of the practice of handcuffing siblings to electric fences, I'm a huge fan of harmless pranks. Like the one carried out in the following video.

What makes this prank so good? For starters, it involves a big idea. On a whim, one of the kids probably got into the cabinet one day, and then realized they could move the drawers from that position. From there, the idea expanded into something much more memorable.

Also, I love the coordination involved. You've got three kids working together to baffle their youngest sibling, which is a hallmark of a great prank.

So take note. If you want to pull a great family prank, come up with a harmless idea that brings all the older siblings together to execute a creative idea. It'll be well worth the effort.
