Daughter Replaces Family Photos With Crayon Drawings One By One, Parents Don't Notice For 11 Days

Almost everyone is bored out of their minds during this quarantine. Well, Kristen Vogler found a way to keep herself busy. She decided to mess with her parents with an innocent prank by replacing their family photos with pictures drawn with crayons.

"So I love doing harmless pranks in general and was talking to my younger sister about a prank someone pulled that involved replacing family photos with Nicolas Cage. But I don’t have a color printer, so knew that wouldn’t work. I happened to have a box of crayons and it all sort of clicked from there. That was several months ago, however. It wasn’t until COVID-19 that I found myself with more time on my hands and I actually could start it," Kristen told Bored Panda.

In her Facebook posts, she explained the whole process:

"In case anyone needs a laugh or some good news, I’ve been working on a project for the last 12 days, without telling my parents, waiting for them to notice. I started poorly recreating the framed photos on our wall with top-notch art supplies, aka—a box of crayons. Every day I replaced a new photo with a new, and terrible, crayon drawing. Sneaking these masterpieces up was not easy, I had to hide in the bathroom clutching the frames multiple times."

It took her parents 11 days to see that the pictures had been replaced!

"I had a lot of fun messing with my parents during the downtime between Kristen Vogler Design projects. I hope you enjoy it, and if you know someone needing a mediocre crayon drawing, you know where to find me."

"The first crayon drawing is placed, bets were made on how many photos and how long it would take them to notice."

"After FaceTiming with my grandparents (the subjects of my first crayon replica) for an hour near this wall, I decided to add another piece while my parents took a walk."

"Up to three crayon artworks now and still not even a glance. That door on the left? It’s used multiple times a day."

"Thought I would get caught today. I had been posting on Twitter about my progress and my mom chose today to try to start a Twitter account to talk to John Krasinski about Some Good News but luckily her account was locked."

"At this point, it was getting harder to pick photos I thought weren’t noticeable plus I felt like I smelled like crayons constantly."

"After getting a ton of rain for days I was needing to get sneakier to be able to add these to the wall. I think today I convinced my mom to go for a run before it rained haha."

"Today was a twofer with these classic Christmas photos. At this point, I was starting to think I should have guessed based on weeks and not days for how long it would take them to notice."

"I legit did not think I would get this far, but here we are."

"Only three left to go before my work is complete. I should probably take a moment to apologize to my art teachers. You tried really hard to teach me to draw people, and this is what I’ve done."

"Happy Easter. My mom was nice enough to hide Easter eggs for me, in return, I did this to the photo of her firstborn."

"I almost got caught hanging this one up. They had to hide in the bathroom but they still didn’t notice."

"I needed closure, Kerri wanted to be included."
