A good prank leaves the entire room bewildered and reveals the suspense in an unexpectedly hysterical way. A 17-year-old boy named Uriah was stunned to find an egg lying on his bed quite a few times, Newsweek reported. When it happened more than once, he figured it might not be a mishap or coincidence but a prank by his mom, Lacy Pryde. To his surprise, she wasn’t involved in this eggy affair. Leaving the mother-son duo in wonder, the prankster sure did an exceptional job until she was exposed after her professional skills were caught on camera.

When Uriah thought his mom might be fooling him, he brought it up with her, only to learn she had no idea it had been happening. “Our initial thoughts were, ‘How did this get here?’ My son thought I was playing a prank on him because it happened a few times,” the mom recalled. Since it wasn’t either of them, the only option was to figure out what was happening. The egg in question was not a suspect. Pryde’s place is home to different animals — including a dog, goat, sheep, chickens and so on. Her TikTok page @richardandtheguardians captures each of these animals in their own stride, being themselves and making the perfect additions to the family.

What was confusing was seeing the egg on the bed. Even if they suspected it was an animal, the chances seemed to be low. What made it even more puzzling is that the route to the bedroom was not easy. It included two cat flaps, passing through the kitchen and going upstairs, among other obstacles. The only way to figure out the culprit’s identity was to film the scene. One day, Pryde spotted one of her chickens in her hallway. Confused about how she came inside the house, she decided to film her. And she finally got answers.

From the cat flaps, through the laundry room into the hallway, all the way to the kitchen and eventually the stairs to the bedroom, this sole chicken was behind it all. The mom mentioned that she had around 30 chickens but it was only this one that managed to wander into the house and the bedroom. The footage captured how she ingeniously passed through all the obstacles and rooms to get to the bedroom. It seems like she had a clear plan — to leave the egg on the bed. On one of the days, when Uriah’s bedroom was closed, the chicken quickly made an improv and moved into Pryde’s bedroom.

There she found a Lola blanket and left the egg as planned. Seeing her unbelievable shenanigans, Pryde decided to name her “Lola,” inspired by the blanket. “She doesn’t roam the house. She just comes in to lay her egg, then she leaves,” the mom noted. Good thing she recorded because there’s no way anyone would believe this atrociously hilarious reality. @sheenag868 said, “Lola said, ‘My eggs are not common folk, they require a better birth.’” @materassi696 added, “Lola is a bougie, she definitely likes the finer things in life.” @leahs8675 remarked, “I loved that even with you following her, she didn’t hide and went straight on with her business.”
