Every kid who has ever existed has wanted to get some kind of revenge against their parents, right?

You’re darn right!

And this person actually pulled it off!

Check out what they had to say about it on Reddit.

I made my mom instantly regret it.

“This story was from years ago, when I was still a kid.

My mom was berating me for almost an hour for doing typical kid stuff. You know, playing outside with friends and not coming quick enough when I heard her yell my name.

Give it a rest…

She was eating at the time, like full on lecturing me between bites. Then she ordered me to get her some water. So I went to the kitchen, filled a glass with water, then dumped salt into it.

I stirred it to melt the salt then transferred the water to another glass and added some more water to fill the glass up again.

A closer scrutiny would notice that the water was slightly cloudy, but my mom didn’t notice because as soon as I got back, she just picked up where she left off while reaching for the glass from my hand.

Still telling me off as she was about to drink.

How’d you like that, Mom?!?!

The way she immediately spat out the salty water in a spray on her plate made the even worse talking to afterwards worth it.”

Reddit users spoke up.
