For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn't know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.
We fired our fact-checkers, so we cannot verify whether that is true or not.
The AI replacement says this is true.

Look at mister MVP over here.
ahahahaha, thanks for linking
He's playing checkers, she's playing 3d go.
I think 3d go is called gone
and everyone clapped
$500 minimum, and I'd really have to think hard about it.
$1000, done deal.Even at $100 it's a pretty reasonable time/compensation ratio, assuming you only have to spend like 10 minutes on actual performance time.
Of course there is potentially travel time and the overhead of communicating ahead of time to set up the prank.
May not be worth it if you have a full time job already.
Sorry, someone else already has the job. Thanks for your application though!
Dealer's choice ehh? Let's go with "explosive herpes".
Doctor's have never seen anything like it before, explosive, just completely explosive.
Like a minefield around the mouth that usually looks like almost everything just went off. The boils in-between could get pretty huge for the face, too. Like a quarter inch. I actually have a dormant variety because I once tried to hug mom and a few of them popped. She screamed and hit me and made me promise to never do it again...
To shreds you say
Sounds like something will Farrell would say. Approved.
Sounds like the basis of a very healthy marriage!
he sounds playful. They will be alright
Once again a random user diagnoses a marriage from a single post. What a time we live in to have access to so many skilled experts capable of diagnosing such things with just a little bit of information!
I think they'll be fine: https://www.reddit.com/r/harrisonburg/comments/1hvdyv8/fake_kidpissed_wife_epilogue/
This is definitely healthy marriage shit. And a marriage that is better off than at least half. Humor is a necessary ingredient to happiness and the crazier the better sometimes.
Edit: and if it wouldn't work on your marriage, one or both of you is fragile.
I've got some free time but I don’t think I could pass for twenty. RIP, $100.
Oh shit I wanna do this
Oh I would have totally done this lol
I really want to know how this played out
What a great story. I love both her reaction to his "son" and her reaction to finding out it was an act.
Thanks! That was a fun read :)
I like how OP denotes the actors, as to be very clear in his description of how he's either going to get divorced or murdered.
Let's pretend you accomplish this and she sees the err of her ways. Then what? She's going to kill you when she finds out the kid is not really yours.
Actually it went really well. The wife thought it was hilarious, according to the husband.
"I can't decide what amused her more... the effort I put into the ruse or the fact that I ended up proving her right in the process. [...She said] 'Next time you can save $100 and just assume you're wrong.'"
This sounds fun but will for sure end with someone trying to blackmail him for more money or filing a fake paternity suit lol
The post, along with any dms for confirmation of the job, payment, etc, would be sufficient evidence of op's innocence
