My family has always been full of pranksters/jokesters/trouble makers, and as such.. my wife new what she was getting into. So, naturally, my 2.5 year old is getting his share.
My dad was a natural at this stuff, and of course.. it runs in the family. Like some of the above, I do the "But your shoes won't fit on me" . I also change the stories of books, and since we aren't to the reading stage yet, he doesn't catch it anyway. Just the fact that I'm reading to him every night is enough. Recently, my favorite was this book he got that talks about professions of people. Well, when I get to the page about the "Mechanic" and I reading the text, I have to change the words to "and here is where he pretends to work on your car, and then overcharges you" or the Pilot page that has a baggage handler on it and I slyly put in, ".. then they break your luggage while loading it on the airplane"
I get a lot of eyerolling from my wife,and I'm sure it will never stop. I tend to make up goofy songs a lot too, and he loves those. Of course, I love to put double-entendres in, or make a rhyme that naturally leads to something you might think would be nasty.. all for the benefit of my wife who is in the other room. You know, stuff like, "One little doggie runs so fast. The other little doggie was the runt. One was lazy and one was a .........[wife from other room ' OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH']"
My dad once told me the jalapenos in the pizza box were sweet pickles and that they were really really good, but you had to eat them in one bite and chew them up really good. I bit it to the stem. I was 8 =/. Funny man.. funny man....=)
He also once left my christmas present on the roof so that I'd have to think harder about the Santa mystery that most American children go through (at least when I was a kid).
My sister and I convinced our youngest sister that we bought her for a nickel at a yard sale. Haha.. SHE even remembers it to this day.
