Epic April fools pranks to pull on your kids? (1 Viewer)

Brother in law had a great prank on his sisters.  He had only been dating a girl for about a month and called one of his sisters saying he was in trouble.  He had gotten his new girlfriend pregnant and that her family disowned her.  He was just out of college and had a low paying job, sharing a place with his older brother.  He said that their brother wouldn't let his girlfriend and baby live with him, so now he was kicked out with a pregnant girlfriend whom he didn't know if he really loved but felt responsible to take care of the child.  His brother abandoned him and his girlfriend's family won't talk to them.  He was lost and didn't know where to turn so he's at a bar and in no shape to drive.  He left all of this in a rush on his sister's voicemail.  

This sister was my wife.  She called me sobbing hysterically and couldn't get a hold of either brother.  She didn't want to talk to her parents until she really knew what was going on.  I told her I'd reach out to her brother (not knowing he had already told me about his prank plans and asked that I play along.)  She then called her other two sisters sharing the story, all of them frantically calling both brothers.  Both brothers and I traded calls and texts all day laughing at the girls.  It lasted for about 8 hours, as the sisters had decided to confront the new girlfriend in attempts to help her with the situation.  My wife told me their plans, so I relayed to the brother who then called his GF to bring her in on the prank.

It ended with all of us getting together that night for an "intervention" with the brothers and girlfriend.  I got the sisters together at my place and let them stew, as I went out to "find" their brother and now pregnant GF.  I showed up with them and the older brother.  We brought in pizza and beer and began laughing at the utter confusion across the sister's faces.

To this day my wife hasn't forgiven him and seeks revenge.  She was distraught all day to the point she talked about the situation with her friends asking for advice on how to handle it.

 
"For Sale" sign out in front of the house.   Tell the kids to "start packing, we're moving to _______."   Use this opportunity to throw out most of their crap.

 
Take a sh * t in your kids cereal, then yell April Fools Day!!!  

Then it'll be super awkward for a while.

OK. here is the set up so far. 2 kids 11 and 7.

we have:

The Toothpaste Oreos

Cut out a bug shape and stick it to the inside of the lamp shade

Googley Eyes on everything in the fridge

A little someone spying in the wife's back up camera

The old Dry Erase on the photos

Some (Jello) Cranberry Juice

Melting a peppermint candy in my son's hockey water bottle.

I have removable stick-on letters that I'm going to write a message (not sure what yet) on the back of my daughter's ice skating jacket for tomorrows practice. 

Then if the opportunity is right, some instant mashed potato/vanilla ice cream sundaes

Sometimes I think I'm actually 6 years old. :)

 
Play pepperoni pizza roulette. Either buy a frozen pizza from the store or order a pizza from some takeout/delivery place and fill one of the pizza slices with ghost pepper hot sauce. Peel back the cheesy layer of goodness and dump a bunch of ghost pepper hot sauce on it and lay the cheese back on the slice. Call the kids in and say you bought pizza and that everyone gets a slice or two.

 
As if by chance my son, who always wakes up before me on weekends, slept late today. So I did the "time to get up for school" routine. He was confused and I told him he slept thru Saturday and Sunday. My wife confirmed. Then the water works started coming so my wife felt bad and told him.

I told mine they were adopted. No reaction.

 
:lol: I just put water all over the toilet seat, and blamed my kid for peeing all over it.   Then I made him clean it off my butt as punishment.  Too harsh?

 
I put blue food coloring my my daughter's oatmeal this morning. Which meant that I got to eat blue oatmeal since she wouldn't touch it.

 
Jack Handy had some deep thoughts on this subject.

 If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is “God is crying.” And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is “Probably because of something you did.”

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. “Oh, no,” I said, “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kind of scary. I’ve wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

 
April Fools is outlawed in our house. 

See I had the "tape the sink sprayer" trick down to an art form and my wife was my favorite victim  1st year--ha ha---very funny. 2nd year--you know this has to stop. 3rd year--- :rant:  and a threat of divorce.  

Soooo.....4th year....ujm, I have been with this woman for 28 years and I can honestly say, I have never seen her so mad. I literally feared for my life. She didn't talk to me for a day or two. 

And that is why April Fools is outlawed in our house. 

 
My wife and daughter got me this morning. They had my laptop on the kitchen island with a piece of clear plexiglass over the keyboard. There was a bottle of elmers glue on its side with a pile of glue all over the glass, but looked like it was all over the keyboard.

April Fools was practically a national holiday at our house when I was growing up. It was the repeats that were outlawed.

Go to the bathroom.  Yell for your kid saying you are out of toilet paper and you need them to bring you some.  When they come in with a role and you reach for it, "inadvertantly" wipe some Nutella on their hand.  Hilarity ensues.

OMG this worked so well just now.  Almost too well.

I told my wife about a few of the ideas in here and she thought this one sounded really funny, so we decided to try it out today.  We both agreed she had to be the one, since she's more likely to yell and be upset that the last person didn't replace the tp.  She screams out that there's no toilet paper and asks/demands for someone to get her some.  I give my 17 y.o daughter an accusatory look (she does use a lot), she protests and claims to replace it every time, and I say, "Alright, well just go get her some, ok?"  So she stomps off already grumpy. They make the transition, door closes, there's a pause, and then her soft voice...  

"Wait... what?  What is...  ummmmmm......   ewwwwwwwwwww."  This is where I started feeling a little bad because she was being so nice.  She obviously didn't want to scream and embarrass her mom.  Then a panicked, "Dad?"  and I hear her run off to the kitchen sink.  This whole time I'm in the next room with my phone recording, but I can't come out and get a good picture of her because I'm cracking up. I peek out and she's furiously washing her hand, and it's when I hear her say "I got... on my... help!" that I realize she's crying.  Wife comes out then and realizes it, too, and yells that it's only Nutella, it's only Nutella.

I'm still cracking up and yell "April Fools!" but by this time, daughter is running upstairs crying, wife is chasing after her saying she's sorry and gives me a look that instantly conveys her regret for having done this, how she feels like an awful person and the worst mother ever, and how it's all my fault.  All at once.

I can't stop cracking up.

:lmao:  I just did this to my 8yr old son but had a completely different reaction.  I also doubled down and did the taped sink sprayer hoping to get him as he's trying to wash the Nutella off.

I camped out in the bathroom. Wife told him I needed a new roll and to go get some for me.  We make the exchange....

I sit there giggling like a school girl waiting for the scream. 

Nothing

still nothing 

I open the door to my wife laughing hysterically and my son just standing at the kitchen sink. 

He turns on the water and gets sprayed. He calmly says "Mom how do I turn this off?" :sadbanana:  

After me and wife stop laughing he says "I knew you wouldn't get poop on your hands."

I made my wifes lunch.  She asked for Turkey sammich with swiss mayo  and mustard.  I put swiss mayo and mustard on the sammich.  I put the turkey on a 2nd plate and stacked them.  She ate half the sammich before #####ing about the sammich having no Turkey.  I explained to her that the Turkey was underneath and the good news is her April fools half sammich she had left would now have double the meat on what was left!!! She wasnt  real happy but I had fun with it.  Who eats half a sammich without realizing it doesnt have turkey on it?

Maybe It's like a subway sandwich?

You can get half way through without hitting any meat

She's at the point where she's over the embarrassment and can laugh at herself about it all, but I'm not going to push it by posting the video.  It's not that good a clip anyway, since it's mostly just me laughing.

I also tried the "brown e's" thing on my son, but he didn't really fall for it and so I just got some sarcastic laughter.  Now they want real brownies, so my daughter is in the kitchen making some.  I should probably go check that she isn't plotting her revenge.  Don't want a "The Help" incident at my expense.   :oldunsure:

Sorry I ruined the trust bond between your wife and daughter, but :lmao: :lmao:

 
I did the Nutella trick on my two older kids.  Well, I didn't have Nutella so I mixed peanut butter and chocolate sauce until I had the right consistency/look.  I camp out in the downstairs bathroom and begin the hunt.

13yr old daughter.....I woke her up yelling for her to bring me some TP.  I'm thinking this is great!  She'll be half asleep and unsure what is going on.  So she brought me the TP and I slapped a bit of the chocolate concoction on her hand/wrist.  She walks away saying nothing.  Me:  :unsure:   I wait to listen for the faucet or her screaming...something.  Nothing happens.  I walk upstairs to her room.  She's in bed.  "Hey..sorry for the mess on your hand."  She looks at me and says "It's okay.  I like peanut butter."  I begin to ask how she knew, and she tells me, "I sniffed it.".   :shock:   "Who gets brown crap on their hand from a bathroom and decides to sniff it first?!?!?"   :yucky:   Her: "Huh...didn't think of it that way" and then she starts laughing.

11yr old son....I get him with the same setup.  This time he's laughing until he sees the brown streak around his wrist.  He starts to look a little scared.  I then step up behind him and lick the rest off of my fingers.  He starts yelling.  My wife looks at me disapprovingly and tells me I need to clean him up.  He finally calms down and notices it's peanut butter.  So now he's laughing.  I tell him about his sister and how she found out by sniffing her hand.  Both my son and my wife at the same time yelled "Ewwwwwww!!!!!"  My daughter and I lost it and couldn't stop laughing.   :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

My wife just looked at me, now with a disgusted and disapproving look, and said "What is wrong with you two?" My son is now laughing with us, as my wife leaves the room stating she needs to find a new family.

I also took out every matched sock in their sock drawer...so that the whole drawer was only single socks. It was fun watching them try and get ready for school.

These days girls (my daughter is 13) seem to ONLY wear mismatched socks.
