In a hilarious moment, a wife and her hubby pulled a sneaky prank on her gogo, and the woman’s reaction was priceless, as she stood on business and showed that she was no home breaker.

The video shared on the couple's TikTok account @shaeandchris went viral, gaining 1.4M views and thousands of comments from social media users who were impressed by how she chose to stay out of their business.

The husband plays a risky prank on granny

The man sat in the car with his wife’s granny while pretending to talk on the phone with a side chick. He dropped spicy lines and even told the person on the other line that he loved her and would see her when his wife was asleep. This, all while granny sat on the passenger seat, unbothered and minding her business.

When the wife walked up and asked who he was talking to, things got spicy. Granny played it cool, saying she didn't know whether he was on a call or not. Her granddaughter pressed, making her agree to the call, but still said she wasn't paying attention to his conversation. The wife called her out, but once the prank was revealed, everyone laughed.
