Yara Shahidi<\/a><\/strong>‘s family loves playing pranks on each other.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Tuesday’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em>, the Grown-ish<\/em> star<\/a> detailed the two biggest pranks she and her family have pulled on each other. She started off with a story of the time her mother, Keri Shahidi<\/strong>, spooked her.<\/p>\n

“One thing that has really stuck with me all my life is that one time, my mother\u2014I love her\u2014<\/a>hid under my bed,” the Black-ish<\/em> alum said. “And I was walking from the bathroom, or something, so she must’ve been under there for a second. She grabbed my ankles. It was terrifying. I mean, I may or may not still check under my bed. But I can be nothing but impressed, ’cause the level of commitment that that took.”<\/p>\n

In an effort to exhibit her mother’s<\/a> same level of commitment, Shahidi messed with her younger brother<\/a>, Sayeed Shahidi<\/strong> in an epic way.<\/p>\n

As the 19-year-old shared, “I was trying to figure out something that would last long, so one time I was on a walk with my brother and he saw a wood chip that looked like a mouse.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a collageon, Sayeed,'” she continued. “I just made up a word. I was like, ‘It’s something that falls from the sky that looks like an animal.’ ‘Cause I was like, the more specific you can get, the better.”<\/p>\n

At that time, her little bro<\/a> was only in fourth grade and she was in sixth, so he was easy to convince.<\/p>\n

As Shahidi then revealed, “For two years, he swore this was like a really fancy art term. And we also went to a decently small school<\/a>, so I was the cool sixth grader who got all of the fourth graders to believe that this was a word.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I was well into middle school when they realized,” the actress went on. “I was in the car with him and I was like, ‘Remember when you believed in the word collageon?’ And I didn’t realize that he still believed in it to that day, and I gave myself away.”<\/p>\n

Shahidi then went into further detail about how she pulled off this hilarious prank for two years. And it’s easy to see how the word “collageon” stuck.<\/p>\n

As she said, “We’d be on walks, I was like, ‘See that cloud that looks like a horse? A collageon.’ I gave it ancient roots. I gave it a whole history. I was like, ‘It’s actually an ancient Aztec word.’ I made the whole history behind it. I was a history nerd<\/a>, and so like, half the stuff I told him, 80 percent of the stuff I told him was absolutely true. And so, for this other little percentage, he had no clue.”<\/p>\n

Honestly, give that acting performance an Oscar.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
