April Fool's Day is tomorrow which is definitely one of the most underrated holidays! I thought everyone could talk about if they have any jokes planned for tomorrow or maybe a best or worst joke they've experienced.
I once bought this plastic toy that looked like a spilled cup of ice cream when I was younger. I put it on this expensive antique table my mom has and she flipped and started interrogating everyone on who ruined her table. It was hilarious.

I still love and remember putting celery salt all over these candies that had a white powdery coating on them, and giving them to my brother when I was probably 10 years old. I felt like a prank god.
I don;t think I've ever pulled an April fools prank on someone! Maybe this year I'll get some good ideas.
I did see a funny one somewhere - serve your kids (or H or whatever) frozen cereal in the morning. Pour it out at night, pop it in the freezer, pull it out in the morning. Looked so funny but I'm the only one who eats cereal here so I can't use it.
I remember a while back when H and I were first married and didn't have much money, I came home and told him I was fired. The look on his face was pure horror.

Every year I pull a mean one at work. I teach kindergarten and somehow we always end up teaching Ee over April fools week. Food isn't allowed but I tell students that I broke the rules and baked them some brownies. On a cookie sheet, I tinfoil wrap up some brown (paper) Es. It's so mean but it's so funny and once they get over the disappointment, they think it's hilarious. it's only fair for getting a zillion "look, there's a spider!" Jokes alllllll say.
I like turning people's jokes around on them. Last year my foster child (14 years old) put plastic wrap over the toilet. I went in to use the bathroom and noticed before sitting down. So I waited a second and started freaking out. I opened the bathroom door and he was laughing. So I got really serious and told him that since he was responsible he had to go clean up the mess. Maybe I'm mean but the look of horror on his face was priceless. He actually did go to the bathroom (after some persuading) and was so relieved to see that I was pranking him. We had a really good laugh about it and he told the story to everyone for weeks after.
DH did this to his roommates in college. It didnt have to be April fools, they did this ongoing! It never got old.

I've done this. But felt bad so I didn't keep it going for long.
When I was a kid my mom would tell me school had been cancelled in the morning... The first year I was sooo excited. The next year I said cool and rolled back over in bed.
I too can't keep a straight face so I don't usually prank people

The only one I can really think of is around elementary school. I had a hamster that kept escaping from his cage. I told my mom he escaped again and she got so mad. Started yelling and saying we had to get rid of it.

I don't typically prank people but I saw one online where you mix M&Ms, Skittles, and Reese's Pieces in a bowl. I may be bringing some candy for my coworkers tomorrow.

Thank you. I will be doing this to H tomorrow! It will drive him nuts because he LOVES candy, but is also OCD, including mixing favors.
The only thing I dread about April fools day is all the "OMG I'm totally preggars" post on facebook. People just don't know how bad it hurts when you have been trying and can't get pregnant and they make a huge joke out of pretending to be pregnant.
My favorite prank I helped pull several years ago. I was working part time in an ER that had is own xray. We put another nurse on the table laid a few surgical instruments on his stomach and shot an xray. We sent it to the radiologist. We got a phone call in like 10 secs with him freaking out praying that our hospital wasn't responsible for the instruments left in a pt. lol Unnecessary radiation and a wasted film, but it was totally worth it.
This year I'm working until 8 am. Some of the rooms on the med surg floor has cameras in them for pt safety if they sign a consent. I'm thinking about turning a cam on in an empty room and take a CPR dummy and place it in chair beside bed and see how long it takes for people to notice it. I thought about putting a sheet over it like a ghost but I think that will be to obvious.
I don't think I've ever pulled a prank of April fools but I used to do office pranks with my coworker all the time at my old job. One time we had a "Cube Sale" in one of our other coworkers cubes. He had a bunch of posters in frames and model cars at his desk and never wanted anyone to touch anything. We put price tags on everything and put a huge sale sign outside his cube. He was pissed.
The funniest thing was when hid my one coworker's donut one day (all I did was put it in his cabinet) and he immediately blamed someone else. It started a feud between them. One of them put paper hole punches in the others umbrella. It took a while before he finally needed to use it but when he went outside and opened it, he was covered in hole punches. He blamed me for it even though I had been at a new job for months at that point.
I own my own business and it's my family business for 55 years, so we have a pretty large following. Just about 2 years ago I took over from my mom after she had closed it for a few months and have turned it around to be successful enough to keep going. Today I announced my resignation. Many people saw through it, but enough didn't that one of my employees phones started blowing up so bad that she had to turn it off. The only person that called me directly was the State Trooper that just inspected us last week for my annual license, and he said "I just saw your fb post, you didn't say anything when I was up last week, so what's going on?" I was laughing hysterically and I could hear the confusion in his voice, so I finally said "what's today's date?" "April.... Ohhhhhhh I see what you did. That's pretty fucking funny. See you soon"
I got MH this morning with the tape on the sink sprayer and he tried to get me with putting a cup of water on top of the door but I saw the look on his face when I went to open it so I stepped back when it fell. Foiled again!
