I've never been a huge fan of April Fool's Day . . . mainly because I've never been good at thinking up a good prank. Some things just seem too mean and others are just lame. Other pranks are just unforgivable-like Allison's ensemble on "American Idol" last night. Obviously her stylist got Allison REALLY good-just one day early!
As I was putting my makeup on this morning, Cassidy wandered in and started giggling. "Mommy!" she said in a dramatic whisper. "Look at the April Fools Day joke I'm playing on Daddy!" With that, she opened the shower curtain with a flourish to reveal she'd switched the spots where he keeps his shampoo and shaving cream. "Oooh... " I said, "you got him good!" If only I'd thought of something that creative. Rats.
Here, in no particular order, are some thoughts I've been tossing around as a potential April Fools Day joke for my husband.
The girls got through the entire day without bickering! (Nah, he'd never believe this one.)
I got through the whole day without coffee. (My alertness would never sell this one.)
Mackenzie hasn't whined once today. (See #1)
Papa Dean doesn't like Menard's anymore. (Might make him cry-don't want to go there.)
I've subscribed to the other newspaper in town. (Might make him mad-don't want to go there, either.)
I've been hypnotized and don't fear squirrels or chipmunks anymore. (I've already tried this and it didn't work.) Just kidding. But now I've gotta wonder . . .
I'd like to have another baby. (ROFLOL! I'd never be able to say it with a straight face!)
So, I've got nothin'. What excellent prank have you ever played for April Fool's Day? Anyone? Anyone?

I've never pulled anything more than, "Your shoe is untied" or "There's a spider on your head." These must be universal to kids because my kids woke up this moring trying these out. I laughed out loud at the one about the squirrel and chipmunk and the baby.
ReplyDeleteI have never liked April Fools Day. My dad liked it a little too much growing up and his usual was that we were moving. We moved SO much that it was never funny.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a more exciting pet, could I suggest a cute adorable kitty that turns into a terror around the 6 month mark???
