Do you do Aprils Fools jokes?

[Bernadine]

I don't usually, but I kind of want to get J this year.  I'm thinking about telling him I'm pg.  Is that too mean?  Lol.

[cheeseandcrackers]

I always thought this would be a funny joke to tell someone.. but then I don't want to jinx myself..

[margotmacomber]

Yes.  I don't know what I'll do this year.  Once I had a friend call and tell him I got in a fight and was taken to jail.  He totally bought it.  It was my best one yet.

We told MIL I was pg on April Fool's once and then the next year, she told H she was pg. Yeah, he didn't think that was funny

I was thinking about changing H's ringtone to something incredibly inappropriate and embarassing, I'm not sure what yet

My SD thought it was hilarious to tell us she was pregnant last year.
I'd like to get her back this year, but I can't come up with anything funny but not devistating for her. She's a bit fragile, being a teen and all.

My husband gets me every.fucking.year. Every year. Each April 1, I wake up thinking "he's not getting me this year". And then he does and I feel like a total tool. I'm gullible, what can I say.

Tell her that you just got a notice that her school is implementing some sort of strict dress code.

My birthday is on April Fools Day, so you'd think that people might take the opportunity to prank me. Not once. Fine by me. I never prank anyone because I'm busy being self-involved on my birthday.

If there is even a chance he might be excited for you to be pregnant, don't do it.

Forget fragile - it's april fool's! If she can dole it out, she can take it!

Game Ooo-on!

She's very dramatic, but you're right. She can suck it up.
Her birthday is April 5th, too, so maybe ill do something regarding that. She will be pissed.

[sake]

H's birthday is on april fool's day. Maybe I'll tell him he can have steak and a bj, and then say "April fools!"

[jssymom14]

I want to tell people that we are in labor so I am getting so close, but that would be a pretty mean one

[messykitchen]

I turned around every single game and book (of which there are TONS) on my son's shelves so the spines faced in, last year.

I think he wanted to kill me. He is very organized. I have to top myself this year.

I changed my FB status to married a couple of years ago when I was very much a single mom and people went ape shit. I think SO would flip his shit if I did that this year though, since I'm now friends with half his family.

[karmasabiotch]

No. I like pranks but it's so expected on the 1'st.

Tell you you're pregnant and that you need her room for the nursery then offer to let her move her stuff into a walk in closet in your house.

[thebamker]

what about just waking up in the middle of the night and changing all of his clocks or something? lol. I think the pregnancy thing will flop. It is april fools day... save that shit for another time. ha!

[Bernadine]

I don't think he'll realize it's April 1. He doesn't keep track of dates much.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

I feel like the pregnancy thing is overdone for April Fool's Day, and it really isn't that funny to toy with your SO's emotions like that. There has to be something else that can be done.

One year I changed my birthday on Facebook to April 1 so all my friends got notices that it was my birthday and kept posting shit on my wall. My mom was very confused. I fessed up toward the end of the day. I fooled a lot of people.

[bigang]

I'm way better at pranks than stories. I can't keep a straight face, so if I tried to get anyone over with a story, I would fail miserably.

My favorite prank is to switch the button orientation on the computer mouse. It's good for at home AND at work. In the computer settings, you can change the mouse controls from right hand to left hand and the button orientation changes. The left button becomes the "right click" and the right one becomes "left click". I am terribly amused watching people get all frustrated with the mouse/computer and start shaking it or jamming on the buttons because they don't work they way they should. When I feel like they have had enough, I go over and all innocently say "Hey, what's all the fuss? Oh your mouse? Well have you checked the buttons? Here let me help you." Then I quickly change it back before they really realize how I changed it in the first place.

I am pre-eyerolling for all the "I'm pregnant!" updates on Facebook on April 1st. COME ON PEOPLE. You're better than that.

This year I plan to offer the children brownies when they arrive home. When they're seated nicely at the table I'll remove the lid from the pan to reveal many shapes and sizes of the letter E cut out of brown construction paper. Suckers.

When my son was 8 he put an unboiled egg in my Tupperware container of boiled eggs. I ended up getting fooled on April 2 because I picked a real boiled egg on April 1. He's a pretty awesome kid.

[BlackCanary]

Nope, I dislike April Fool's jokes.

I'm boring like that.
