Did anyone do/get any good April Fools pranks or jokes today?
My notoriously lazy brother informed us all that he'll be doing a marathon and Tough Mudder later this year ;-) (he totally foolded me, as I lavished praise on him, and one of his friends said, "April Fools?")
My cousin (ugh) just posted on his FB that the mother of his daughter is expecitng his child again--hoping that one's a joke--for the sake of the child.
I plan to tell my kids that the state lost their test scores due to a hacker and all 8th graders have to redo the state tests before the end of April and graduation is not until the end of June because of the loss.
My daughter just blurtted out: "Mommy, be careful! Your shoes are untied."
Me: "Wah? I'm seated and barefoot."
Her: "APRIL FOOLS!!"
Yeah, she doesn't quite get it, but she's adorable.
Dawn: Yup, that's my girl too. Her favorites are the chicken and the road jokes. Not sure why, but I think the idea of chickens (and various other animals for that matter) crossing roads just amuses her to no end.
My oldest told me a rat ran under the kitchen island. He had me fooled for about 5 seconds. :-)
Here's our favorite knock-knock, courtesy of my oldest son:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to your house.
Knock knock!
Who's there?
The chicken!
I duct taped my son to the bed yesterday morning (he's 11 and I did it on the outside of the covers). I also put salt on their toothbrushes. They got me back, baby powder in the hair dryer.
Dana T, that's so cute! Reminds me of my niece who used to tell Knock-knock jokes. She couldn't remember the punch lines, so she would just giggle instead!
I have no April Fool's jokes at all, sorry!

ugh i was so disappointed. the other team lead and i took EVERYONE's mouse balls at lunch time, and NOT ONE PERSON got into it or even seemed to enjoy it. no one got us back. one or two even seemed ticked off.
it was a crappy april fool's day :( i felt SO unloved.
My sister posted a sonogram picture on FB and while I did post a congratulations message I knew it most likely wasn't true. She didn't let the post go very long as the 'joke' only lasted an hour before she put April Fools as a comment.
That wasn't a very good joke, in my opinion, because the joke didn't last long enough to really sink in and have it be effective. I feel it would've been quite funny had she posted it this morning and waited until the evening to reveal the joke.
Looking forward to getting to read all the other responses.
my mom had all of her granddaughters in the car and one great niece (ages 8, 7, 6, 6, and 5) in the car and told the she was going to have a baby. One of the 6 year olds was freaking out thinking it was true. Later that day I asked my dad what he was going to name his new baby and my kids were yelling April Fools before he could answer.
When my daughter was pregnant a couple of years ago, her friend brought over several $1 pregnancy tests and her her pee on them. She then showed them to her other friends.
