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.

$500 minimum, and I'd really have to think hard about it.
$1000, done deal.51 0 ReplyEven 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.

Sounds like the basis of a very healthy marriage!
28 0 Replyhe sounds playful. They will be alright
32 0 ReplyOnce 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've got some free time but I don’t think I could pass for twenty. RIP, $100.

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.
4 0 ReplyActually 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
3 0 ReplyThe post, along with any dms for confirmation of the job, payment, etc, would be sufficient evidence of op's innocence
