I think I accidentally started a full-scale prank war between my boyfriend and my entire family.

What started as me putting salt in my boyfriend's coffee has spiraled into a multi-front war. My family has taken my side and now I have a literal team of pranksters that I can't control.

The full story

Okay so this started a couple months ago. My boyfriend (30M) and I (28F) have always had a goofy relationship. I thought it would be hilarious to hide his car keys one morning. He retaliated by changing my phone's language to German. It was funny, low-stakes stuff. And then, I made a mistake. I told my family about it at Sunday dinner. I thought they'd just laugh. Instead, my dad's eyes lit up. He pulled me aside and said, "Next time, we're doing something bigger." I should have shut it down right there. I didn't. Two weeks later, my dad and I gift-wrapped every single item on my boyfriend's desk while he was at work. His stapler, his monitor, every pen. It was a masterpiece. My boyfriend knew I couldn't have done it alone. The war was declared. He got my younger brother on his side (traitor!) and they teamed up to replace all of my Spotify playlists with Nickleback. My mom, in retaliation, found out his favorite pizza order, and sent him five extra-large pizzas... all with pineapple and anchovies. He's now recruited his best friend, who is a graphic designer. Last week, huge posters went up all around our neighborhood with my face on them, advertising me as a 'lost cat' who answers to 'Pspspsps'. It was kind of funny at first, but it's getting to be too much. My mom is currently trying to figure out how to get 1,000 crickets delivered to his apartment. I tried to call a truce, but my family is having too much fun. They're treating my boyfriend like a rival sports team. How do I get them to stop a war that I started?
