April fools ideas?
I need some new ideas, kids. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Here's what worked last year: pebbles in the breakfast bowls buttermilk over the cereal sour cream in the toothpaste tube salt in the coffee (this one wasn't for the kids :-) This year I think I'm going to put dry cat food in the cereal box, but what else?! They've come to expect being fooled so I have to be sneaky. lm |

They've come to expect being fooled so I have to be sneaky. I'll probably take some flack for this one, but... Every year my son gets me with something, so last year, I decided to zing him back, big time. Since he had just turned 13, I created a fake letter from the DOD (Army actually) and a personalized form letter from Donny Rumsfeld indicating that the president signed an executive order authorizing the Army to draft down to age thirteen for service and logistics jobs to support the actions in the middle east. He was to report to the local MEPS facility that weekend for processing and ship out to basic training. I made it look really official and had my sister place it in the mailbox (since he was first home and checked the mail first.) He fell for it hook, line and sinker....called me at work, called his mom, his grandma, everyone...it wasn't until later that night that I sprung it as a joke. He didn't speak to me for two days. It was classic ;-) -- Eric W. Colorado Springs, CO A.A.#2174 Me: http://www.egwilliams.net DX: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/COS_DXers SP: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/COS_Single_Parents/ |

My homemade-salty-playdough-made-to-look-like-cinnamon-scones pales in comparison, although one kid and one spouse were fooled enough :-) lm |
