What happens

As in a Looking Glass (How Tommy Got a Pull on His Grandpa) è un cortometraggio muto del 1903 prodotto dalla American Mutoscope & Biograph. Il filmato è uno dei primi esempi di genere comico basati sul tema dei "ragazzini dispettosi", che tanta fortuna avrà nel cinema fin dalle origini. Il soggetto è molto simile a quello presentato dalla Edison in A Wringing Good Joke (1899). Il regista e gli interpreti del cortometraggio non sono accreditati e se ne ignora l'identità.
