During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Yara opened up about the longest prank she ever pulled.

“I was trying to figure out something that would last long [to pull on my brother Sayeed], so one time I was on a walk with my brother and he saw a wood chip that looked like a mouse, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a collageon, Sayeed,’” she shared. “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.”

Yara adds that “for two years, he swore this was like a really fancy art term. And we also went to a decently small school, so I was the cool sixth grader who got all of the fourth graders to believe that this was a word.”

“I was well into middle school when they realized [it wasn't true],” she explained. “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.”
