A weekly meme hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy For Books.
This week's question is:
Since today is April Fool's Day in the USA, what is the best prank you have ever played on someone OR that someone has played on you?
Happy April Fools' Day!
I only remember one: my dad was a science teacher and loves birds in particular. It was a cold day and way too early in the season for cardinals to fly by, but my mom thought she'd fool him on April 1st. She put a bright red plastic cardinal on our backyard bird feeder and acted all surprised to find one. My dad actually believed her and when he saw it, he thought it was real...until he got the binoculars and noticed it wasn't moving :) Gotcha!
I can't wait to hear all the funny ones you came up with!
That's a fantastic prank

This is funny. I wish I could come up with something like this. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteHere is my April Fish
So creative. I like jokes like that because they aren't harmful to anyone. I don't tend to like April's Fools Day.
ReplyDeleteI like that story! Where did she find a plastic cardinal? LOL
ReplyDeleteHopping by!
That's a sweet prank! You have cute parents. Enjoy the hop!
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were little, I tried making an April Fool's Day dinner I saw in Family Fun magazine. There was turkey meatloaf made in the shape of donuts, with white cheese melted on top to look like frosting and tiny bits of bell pepper as sprinkles, vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce that looked like mashed potatoes and gravy, and apples cut in the shape of fries and baked.
ReplyDeleteMy boys were about 2 and 5, and the dinner totally fooled them! My oldest was so surprised when he bit into each thing. My youngest, though, was so young that he took it all at face value - I guess the visual overcame the taste for him. He ate the entire "donut" and asked for another, still thinking they were really donuts!! We were just laughing about this, even now! A classic moment in our family.

That wasn't too bad of a prank...I bet it was a pretty cool plastic cardinal.
ReplyDeleteI am stopping by from the blog hop.
Hope you have a fun blog hop.

At first I wasn't going to participate in this week's Book Blogger Hop. I'm not even sure why.
ReplyDeleteBut here I am. And I'm glad! To dispel any false impressions people may have had about me being a old, stodgy fuddy-duddy I'm happy to share some of my very best pranks with you.
Highlights include - low-grade explosives, eggs and salt shakers. Get all the side-splitting details over on my blog - http://www.howardsherman.net
They date back to my younger years as a Brooklyn boy which brings about some introspection.
I'm going to go pull some pranks today. Look out world! I'm coming out of prankster retirement!

What a cute story!
ReplyDeleteComing over on the blog hop - thank you for visiting my blog and also for the comments on my review. The main characters of the book were very distinct - the others are just on the periphery and do not over run the main story. It is quite explicit and easy to follow actually.
ReplyDeleteThat a great story. I like the idea of parents pranking each other.
ReplyDeleteOK, this is really embarrassing...
ReplyDeleteI was just cleaning out my e-mail Inbox (which desperately needs a clean-out) and rediscovered the Versatile Blogger award you gave me back in January!! I'm pretty sure I never even acknowledged it, and I feel awful about that. My only excuse is the hundreds of other ignored e-mails still sitting in my Inbox - I just never seem to be able to catch up!
I already received the Versatile Blogger award in August last year, but I very much appreciate you giving it to me, and I am very sorry that I didn't respond until now.
Hope you can forgive me!
