i knew what today was and yet the girls got me.
shoulda known I was busy getting things around and April wanted water.innocent and distracted me  ::) Got the water out of fridge.April said she wanted it from the sink cause it tasted better. [smiley=spit.gif] my sweater got drenched by the old tape the spray thingy onto full blast.after the shock wore off I laughed along with them  ;D hi fived Beth and April then said okay I'm done for the day you got me they both laughed evilly so i am so watching my back and front lol.
after April settled down enough she reminded  me that they got me with the same thing last year  [smiley=embarassed.gif] [smiley=looser.gif] [smiley=spit.gif] [smiley=oops.gif]
 let me know if someone has gotten you today
      Minnie the embarrassed
but then again I raised some pretty smart/sneaky kids.their teacher best watch out LOL

;D ;D ;D That trick never fails to crack me up.  I've gotten everyone who is at my house the last two years doing the same thing.  They didn't find it as funny as I did.  ::)

Beth

;D

I'm glad I'm not the only victim today.  We went to BJs last night and filled it for the month.  About $200.00 in meat.

So my lovely wife Andrea called a while ago.  Said she sent Casey down to the cellar freezer to get some meat to thaw for supper and everything was warm ... you can imagine how the conversation went from there.

Yes folks, the laugh is always on me.  Every damn year  ;D

So ... how did they tape up the faucet anyway ...

Relatively invisible cellophane tape, I imagine. Just wrap tape around the thumb trigger of the sprayer, point it toward the gullible one of the day, and voila.

   Well Dennis looks like we're in the same club hopefully no more jokes on us today.oh man your wife has a wicked sense of humor but pulling this off over the phone to give you cool down time was smart.They used translucent tape
and just wrapped it tight on the spray thingamajiggy like I was holding it on high,they had to make sure it was facing me and that i was gullible. done and done. I got a good laugh and am trying hard to think of how to get them back.their smart and expecting it.my friend said to do the old saran wrap over the toilet trick.not sure yet.

No, Minnie. No.

Guess who gets to clean that one up? The victim will say she cleaned it up, but then you'll get to clean it up so that it's clean.

Never trust the cleanliness standards of kids.

I got a friends boyfriend but GOOOOD LOL

He made the mistake of boasting that no one has EVER got him on April fool's day..

Yes you're right. That WAS a challenge wasn't it?!

I rang his cellphone and lowered my voice so he wouldn't recognise me and left a voice mail saying I was from the Child Support Agency and I was ringing with regard to forms we had sent out before Christmas which he had failed to return and this was a last attempt at communication before we made a summary judgement..


I hasten to add his girlfriend WAS in on this!!! LOL

Well - 35 minutes later he called me back.

HIM "Hello this is Mr Griffiths, you rang me about some forms I didn't fill in, I mean I didn't send back, I mean I never got..."

ME "Good afternoon Mr Griffiths. Thank you for FINALLY getting back to me. Which is it?"

HIM "Uh.. what? I mean Pardon?!"

(I wish I could type the sense of panic in his voice here!!)

ME "Which story are you sticking with? Did you not fill them in, not send them back or not get them?"

HIM "I didn't get them, I haven't had any forms from you at all!!!!"

ME "Indeed Mr Griffiths"

That was it! He was panicking so much I burst into fits of giggles at which point - and I don't know HOW he knew EXACTLY who it was! He called me a little witch (at least I think that's what it was!) and he was killing himself laughing saying I can't believe you got me!

Apparently he went for a drink after work and told everyone according to my friend so we're now referring to him as "Mr Brown Trousers" LOL

Our kids made the annual attempt to fool us each year, to no avail. One year, when April 1 happened to be on a Sat, I came downstairs to make coffee, Todd was in the family room, and, as I stood at the sink, I put my hands over my eyes and said. "Todd, I can't see!"....he freaked out, dancing on one foot, then the other, trying to comfort me, but afraid to touch me, not knowing WHAT to do.so, he woke Gil, who came downstairs and started to get the picture...now, all I needed was for Dana to wake up.When she did, she, too, flew downstairs, careeened into the familyroom, saw her brother and her dad, completely helpless, saw me, with my hands over my eyes, Todd screamed yet again, "Mom can't see!!".....to which Dana replied, "Mom, open your eyes....".........
Boys refused to speak to me all day........Dana and I had such fun!
We wimmens MUST stick together.although, I must add, Dana was not IN on the joke.she simply 'got it'!
HeeHee!
Cathi :D

Thanks for the giggles, guys! ;D

Back at my house April Fools have been out of fashion about 20 years or so, which means that nobody fooled me. I did read the papers with interest, because most of them add an April Fools piece. This year, however, the radio show mum was listening spoiled most of the fun in that because they revealed 3 newspaper pieces on air.

I didn't listen to the radio yesterday but this morning our D.J.S. were laughing about the wide effect of their joke.aparently he said there is a new law in affect and you will get a ticket and huge fine if your caught drinking anything while driving.the police station was kept busy with people yelling about the law.one police officer  said that the dept.was trying to look up the law.his wife even called him asking why he never mentioned it.The mayor was stopped more then once ha!!! The DJ said he really didn't think too many people would fall for it.Glad I listened to the radio today but I wish I had heard them when they pulled off the prank.Then again this area has some really stupid laws and no offence to any police officers out there but our pd is not known for having the smartest people.
last year I took my prank for the kids from an old mash rerun....the prank that never happened.

Actually, that is not so far off the mark.  In MOST states, it is already illegal to drink ANYTHING while driving.  The law was written to mean no drinking of alcohol while driving, but in most states, it just says "drinking" ... I actually got pulled over, once, for drinking an orange juice from McDonalds.  The officer explained how the law is written, and let me go.  BUT, if I had given him any shit, or acted belligerent, he could have thrown the law at me, because it IS in the books!

Remember, kiddies, NEVER be disrespectful or nasty to the officer that pulls you over!  If you DO, he WILL find a way to ticket you, even if it is just for a dirty license plate (my brother got nailed with that one).
