Happy April Fool's Day

My darlings, you planning any funny pranks for April Fool's Day? When we were little, we would replace the sugar with salt, so my parents would put it in their coffee by accident. We thought it was endlessly hilarious. Also, happy birthday, Dad! Thanks for pretending to be shocked by salty coffee for five years in a row.

  12. Very cute. I'm planning my first prank on my unsuspecting almost-3-year-old year old - half a glass of frozen milk with liquid milk on top. He'll drink what he can and get confused about the rest. I'm pretty sure he'll find it hilarious.

    Will have to remember to watch my coffee when he gets old enough to reciprocate...

  13. That's so funny. I am not very good at fooling other people and am just hoping that I don't fall victim to anyone else's fooling!!!

    Have a lovely Easter weekend and I always look forward to reading your blog :) xx

  15. Oh my cuteness! I love the story and the adorable picture. You are going to have the cutest children.
    I would wish you a Happy April Fool's Day, but that would just come out sounding sarcastic. So, have a great day!

  16. We told our girls that they had to give back the guinea pig we bought for them yesterday because the thing had parasites! I could only pull it off for about three minutes until I saw that they were getting upset.

  20. my boyfriend told me that our weekend away in cornwall was cancelled due to the heavy rain that we have been having. not funny at all!

  21. I never play pranks! I think it's terribly mean and I'd feel too guilty.

  22. oh salt instead of sugar... good one. I think of a good April fools in July and then totally forget what it was by April 1.

  23. Today I'm putting toothpaste inside of Oreo cookies and giving them to friends and coworkers! ha ha ha

  24. One year I tied a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer so when someone turned it on it would soak you... My dad didn't think this was too funny when we got soaked two minutes before leaving for work.

    The next year my brother put red food coloring in my moms shampoo... also a disaster

    Gosh we were kind of horrible little kids hahah!

  25. and today is my little brother's birthday! putting up with the "little fool" label for 22 years.... poor guy. my prank on my husband: telling him i'm pregnant! (its a little mean, but its also a blatant joke :) )

  26. Yep, the salt in the sugar bowl. Thought I'd grow up to be a comedian. I did move to Washington, DC (after France where I hung 'fishes' on people's backs - Poisson d'avril) & that qualifies me as an observational comedian. Have the same photo on wall, too (like someone above).

    ciao, cara!

  27. I used to put grass from the yard in my dad's Cherrios and I also found it endlessly hilarious. Like your Dad, he also pretended to be completely surprised every year! Ha. I can't wait to have kids to see what they do to me!!

  28. I wish! But I can never beat last year, when I orchestrated an elaborate prank that convinced then-new boyfriend I got his name tattooed on my wrist -- as well as everyone who reads my blog. It was so, so, SO fun!

  29. Happy Birthday to your Father! Dad's are truly the greatest!

  30. My boss thought he was SO sneaking putting snap-pops under our office chairs. He didn't count on the nighttime cleaning crew cleaning up his 'mess' before anyone came in to work this morning. He was SO disappointed. I told him to April Fool-fire the cleaning crew!

  38. A guy friend's b-day is on April 1st too, and we would always play Mr. T saying I pitty the fool over the phone to him. Still funny after all these years to know that he gets about 30 calls/messages like that on his day.

  41. Oh, I sympathize. Omegle My husband and I were working for the same company Omegle Sohbet when I was pregnant, and I can't count how many times I hauled him out of his office out to the parking Omegle Chat lot so I could have a meltdown. (because of course I couldn't do it alone, I had to have a witness and then a hug after...)
    I'd much rather have Omegle that than a huge diamond! So much classier. Graham Cluley, omegle a researcher at security firm Sophos, Görüntülü Chat told BBC News that Twitter needs "much tighter control" over what users can put in a tweet to prevent similar problems in the future.
