April Fools!

“So the big day o' pranks is this Saturday. I love a good practical joke and want to get my kids. Any ideas?”

“oh, I want to get my kids too...lets hear it.”

“Moms playing tricks on their kids. I swear...Gemini and I are going to be voted Best Moms of the Year! ;D”

“Isn't there that thread about you being dangerous?!?!?? LOL!”

“April Fools day 2006 marks 10 years I gave up a 3 pack a day Camel light habit.”

“sell em to a band of gypsies”

“My fiance proposed to me last April Fool's day. I wonder if he'll say it was all a big joke this Saturday. :)”

Started smoking Camel non-filter, huh?”

“while they are not looking take all their underwear and dye it pink using a temporary dye”

“Take them to the dentist to have their teeth drilled.”

“Have someone call and tell them there mom died in a horrible car crash. How long you wait to spring the joke is up to you”

“My car was getting worked on back home when I was at college. (I had my dad's mini Van) He called me to tell me the repairs went fine but. At his shop the fork truck's parking break gave out while unloading some raw steel. The truck rolled backwards into my car crushing it. I fell hook line and sinker.”

“we're helping a coworker move that day...we're trying to think of some good ones to pull...right now we're trying to figure out a way to get into her new apartment and put up some police tape and a chalk outline”

“Here's a hint TH: they don't use chalk outlines any more, just little lines at the elbows, feet, hips, etc. to indicate position. Around here they use colored tape (indoors) or spraypaint (outdoors.)”

“No specific ideas, but it has to be plausible. For example, BowlderSon has a baseball game scheduled for Saturday, and it's been raining like crazy all month. So I may tell him an email came in from the coach saying that they'll have to play all April games on a makeshift field in a parking lot.

And don't forget to ask them if they read that article in the paper that the word "gullible" was removed from the dictionary....

“Why don't you print out an official looking invoice (or something similar) for a (Your City here) Crime Scene Clean-Up & Safety Co. with a detailed report of what was cleaned with statements like "Carpet replaced in Master bedroom, but blood pool seeped into subfloor. Unable to remove without extensive structural repair." "Some brain material remaining in pipes beyond apartment wall below sink mounted garbage disposal unit".

If you can't get in, just tape it to the door.

“hahahaha, that one would be pretty good if I wouldn't be the one who will have to clean the mess:


This is one of THE best tricks I know! First you put Saran Wrap or any other clear plastic wrap over the toilet, between the bowl and the seat. Do this at night so it is harder to see. Then when someone goes to the bathroom, SURPRISE! Oh, and a scream. I don't recommend this because I got grounded for 3 months when I tried it. It's funny, and messy, so if you don't take my advice and do it anyway, be ready to clean up the mess! EWW!!!

besides that, my kids sleepwalk to the bathroom. they may don't even notice.”

“White toothpaste on the seat os a good one for girls.”

“Slip in at night with a red marker and put dots all over there face. Get hysterical about chicken pox and tell them they will have to be quarantined for the weekend.”

“My mom used to play April Fool's jokes on me.

It's just one of the many reasons why I only speak to her if I absolutely have to.”

“Woohoo! I killed the HELL out of this thread!”

“yes u did bit, you ol' meany.

that's alright...we all get you april 1st. better watch your back! ;-)”

“ummm, I don't want to get him. You gals can have him all to yourselves.”

“I haven't checked back in since I started this thread. Some good ideas here. I like the one about putting marker on their faces. But not the bathroom ones so much. They're both boys, so they have a hard time hitting the toilet the way it is.


Keep 'em coming.”

“how about wiring up a laugh box to the bathroom light switch or even a delayed activation from the light switch - say just about enough delay time for the victim to pull it out and aim”

“HOI, we have enough serial killers in this country already.”

“hummm - a little over the top huh bitpusher?”

“For a pre-pubescent or teenage boy, maybe, yah, lol...”

“Fake nail application while they sleep?

Food coloring in their cereal milk?

Food coloring in their shampoo?”

“...in the shampoo bottle...?”

“use only popcorn popped with a hot air cornpopper.......

fill the car with popcorn...right up to the roof...just pourit in through a partially open window!”

“My son's best friend filled his car with sytrofoam "popcorn" as a prank for his 18th birthday. It was hilarious. He could barely get into his car and then ended up driving to school with his car filled with those things in order to get there on time. Very very funny, and it took him a long time to clean up all those little pieces.”

“more bathroom jokes - have a sensor to detect when a person is sitting on the can and then have an automatic spritzer spray their butt with perfume”

“I hope some of you people are posting from a padded room. LOL!!

I need to think of something good to get my mom with...she always falls for it. Last year I told her I tried a hamburger, and liked it, and was going to start eating meat. Ok I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but neither she nor I have eaten red meat for my entire life, so she was a little shocked to say the least! She had told my dad, my sister, and my grandmother before I asked her, "Do you know what day it is, by the way?" And then she got it! Haha, that was a good one.”

“I like to tell Birch I think I'm pregnant. He gets a look of pure panic fast. Heehehe.”

“LOL!!! :-D”

“I am not going to do this because I would end up beating the crap out of my hysterical child, but...

Friday night while the kids were sleeping I would turn all the clocks up by 1 hour and intentionally find a reason to not be able to get my daughter to her soccer game on time saturday afternoon. I could just see her panicking as 2 pm came and went and we were still nowhere near ready to leave for her 2pm game. Of course, I would have to be ready to run when I told her it was really on 1:30 and not 2:30 LOL.”

“OMG!!!

I have them hook, line and sinker right now.

I typed up the following letter and put it in their backpacks. Then I told them to empty out their backpacks so that they are ready for Monday morning. As we went through their assortment of papers and so forth, they both came across the letter.

Dear Parents of Lake Ridge School students:

As you may know, the Lake Ridge Board of Education has been considering a major change in our school year calendar. Studies have shown that students benefit greatly from a 12-month school year as opposed to a 9-month school year. It has been proven that the additional time spent in school all summer gives the students a great advantage.

Therefore, after much consideration and deliberation, at our recent Board meeting, the Board has unanimously voted to extend the Lake Ridge School District�s school year to 12 months effective immediately. This will affect Calumet High School, the Middle School, Grissom Elementary, Hosford Park Elementary, and Longfellow Elementary.

A new calendar will be sent home soon with the students to reflect this. At the end of the 4th quarter grading period, the students will be given a 4-day weekend break after which time they will start the 5th semester which will run from June through August. Your children will remain in their current grade levels for the summer and will advance to the next grade starting in the fall semester.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your principal.

Sincerely,
Lake Ridge Board of Education"


At the moment they are incredulous. Tucker is near tears. He is demanding that he be able to call all his friends to discuss how totally unfair this is. I told him he can't call anyone right now, that they need time to work it out with their own families over the weekend. He wants to move becuase no other school system does this. I told him that once the other schools see what a great idea this is, then they will all change over, too, I'm sure.


I plan on telling them it's a joke tonight.”

“LMAO....Your so evil! LOL! I cant wait untill I can do this to my own kid!

“Remember, your kids pick which nursing home you go into.”

“My favorite part is when Tucker realized that he gets a 4-day summer break!!!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!”

“Ruby I hope you took pictures LOL!”

“OOooooo, Good one! Tucker's gonna be mad when you tell him the truth, lol.”

“ooh, evil Ruby....but so good!”

“WOW that is SO mean...........I LOVE IT!! lol”

“Funny!

I wonder if Ruby is still alive? lol”

“My mom called, and I read the letter to her. At first, even she believed it until I told her it was a joke. When Tuck talked to her, he was totally po'd until she told him he could just move to Minnesota and live with them for the summer.

Later when Jon came over, we all played Hang Man together. The words were "April Fools." Tuck still didn't figure it out until I told him the joke. It was amazing how his attitude absolutely transformed from sullen and pissy to laughing and pleasant when that weight was off his shoulders.”

“Superglued the LT's sleeping bag zipper while he slept.”

“This year Tucker was away for the weekend at a friend's house so I couldn't pull any major tricks on him like I did last year (read earlier posts here).

But I did serve "fried ostrich eggs" to Luke for breakfast. They are made by making the whites with Cool Whip and then the yolks are half a canned peach. He fell for it until about the third taste of Cool Whip. It took him a while to figure it out. He kept trying to use his fork to pierce the "yolk" and make it seep and just couldn't get it to work.
