A prank that was successfully played on a Missouri dad has gone viral after his wife and kids stuck a massive photo of his face onto his checked luggage — ensuring he would easily spot his bag coming down the carousel.

Kelsey Thorne, 29, pulled the prank on her dad, Mike Bone, while their family was traveling to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Thorne said that her father is colorblind, which can sometimes make it difficult for him to find his belongings.

“My mom, Carrie Bone, and I were joking about how long it would take us to find our luggage on vacation as my dad is colorblind,” Thorne, a medic for the U.S. Army and resident of De Soto, told Fox News Digital via email.

She added, “[We] came up with the idea to make a giant sticker for his suitcase to speed up the process.”

Thorne also owns an embroidery and custom goods shop, so the task was easy to execute, she said.

Thorne said she made the sticker the next day and her mother, along with her older brother Taylor, concocted a plan.

“While my mom distracted my dad, I placed the sticker on his suitcase and packed it into the car,” she said.

“My dad dropped us off at the front [of the airport] as he went to park, and we were able to sneak his suitcase out then.”
