April Fool Pranks

Happy April Fool’s Day! Today is the day where you celebrate the pranks and jokes people play on you and all you have to say is “April Fools…”. I think this is one of my dad’s favorite holidays. He always tapes down are dishes in the morning and puts newspaper in our shoes and coats. One of the most remembered prank that he has done was on my mom. He switched out the newspaper to one that was published last year on April Fool’s Day. I don’t think my mom caught until she came upon something that had already happen and they were covering it new. These were just some of the pranks my dad did. I have come up with a list of pranks that you can do to make laughs every time you do it.

1.      Tie the chairs to the table. This is one of my dad’s old tricks, when we would eat breakfast in the morning we would try to pull out the chairs to find that my dad has tied them to the post with string.

2.      Pull a fake fan cord. You turn on the light to a ceiling fan by pulling the cord. Well, on April Fools day put a fake cord hanging down that is attached to a cup of confetti that is resting on a fan blade. When they pull the cord the confetti will fall on all over (just make sure that the other cord is out of sight).

3.      Nail a Photo to the Fridge. Find a picture and cut off the top of a nail. Glue the top of the nail head to the picture. Then glue a magnet onto the back of the picture and put it on the fridge. It should look like you nailed your photo to the fridge.

4.      Eww… it sticks. Get a whole bunch of people that are going to be around the same person that day. Tell them to pretend that they smell something sticky every time they go by that person and ask them if they smell it to. Throughout the day they will definitely become paranoid. It will be funny as long as it’s not you who they play it on.

5.      Glue a coin to the ground on a side walk that lots of people walk on. Then sit near by and watch how many people try to pick it up. This is a mean prank because I like to pick on pennies and change that I find on the ground, so I would fall for this trick.

6.      Salt and Pepper Anyone. If your family uses salt and pepper a lot, switch the containers. So when they think their putting salt or pepper on their food they are actually doing the opposite. Then sit back and watch the faces of your family when they realize they have been pranked.

7.      Alarm Clocks. Set a whole bunch of alarm clocks at an early time during the morning and place them around the room or the house. Then watch the person try to find them all so they can turn them off and go back to sleep. This, though, might produce a cranky person in the morning so you have to determine if it’s worth it.  

8.      Tooth Brush trick. Dab the victims tooth brush in salt (make sure to shake the excess off) and set it back in place until they brush their teeth. When the put it in their mouth they will be in for a salty surprise.

Those are some of the list of tricks that Imy dad has done or told be about that are harmless (in a way ) but still funny. I hope everybody enjoys their April Fool’s Day and wishing you the best of luck that pranks aren’t played on you.
