Woman who took the blame for dad's innocent mistake responds with hilarious years-long prank on mom

Getting blamed for something you didn't do is no party. It can be quite difficult to deal with it. But sometimes, people find creative ways to respond to that "hurt," which usually does not harm anyone and is downright hilarious. A daughter came up with something similar when her mom blamed her for her dad's mistake. The woman, u/Jacknollie, came up with an idea that is bound to leave people in stitches. The best part is that it has become "her thing" after all these years of doing it.

"Fifteen-ish years ago, my dad broke one of my mom's dinner plates. Mom has the standard issue green daisy Corelle dishes that were commonplace in the late '70s. This was the first plate to be broken and dad was horrified," she began. "He ran to Walmart and bought a plain white dish and stuck it at the bottom of the pile of dishes, hoping for the best." The woman continued, "The rogue plate was discovered when my sisters and I had all gathered for a visit. As I am the youngest, I was blamed." Thus began the woman's quest to find the best kinds of mismatched plates for her mom.

"Because I am petty, I decided that it would be wrong of me not to give my mom mismatched plates. This began my quest of buying random Corelle dinnerware and sticking it in her cupboard when she's not around," the daughter revealed. "Star Wars luncheon plates? Perfect! Misprinted dinner plate? Don't mind if I do! Disney dessert plates? Clicks add to cart. It's been a hoot." She expressed, "But today was the plate stashing of which I'm most proud. Those green daisy dinner plates are available on eBay... I just added three of them to her cupboard. Some day, she's going to get all of those plates out of her cupboard and she's going to count the green daisy plates. And then she's going to realize she has more of them than what she started out with."

"To quote Stanley Hudson from The Office, 'It's stupid, but it's my thing now,'" the post concluded. People took to the comments to share their opinions and experiences. u/hotlavatube wrote, "One time, I took out the laundry, carefully folded it, and put it back in the laundry dryer. I think my mom's been searching for the button for that function ever since." u/PresentatiinThat2839 commented, "Now of course you need to manage to somehow make it look like your dad is to blame. Does he have a favorite thing? Add a few plates that are his theme."

u/1show_kindness remarked, "We recently dropped a Corelle plate! They were supposed to be break-resistant and have never had one break before. Getting butter-fingered in our old age, I guess. Anyway, we were shocked by the thousands of tiny, tiny shards that scattered throughout our whole large dining room!" u/jaywroght28 shared, "The plate breaking reminds me of something that happened when I was in middle school. A plate from a tea set got broken. My horrible Boomer step-parent was the hitting type, so I didn't tell her about it. I superglued it back together, put it back on the bookcase, and forgot about it. Three years later, she found it had been broken. She started cussing about my dad breaking it. I didn't correct her. Life went on and she forgot about it. I told my Dad years later and he said it was fine because she was an a******."
