Happy April Fools'....

When I was younger we used to love April Fools' day, my sister Kelly and I would play practical jokes on my Mum and Dad, like putting salt in the sugar bowl or fake spiders on the floor.  They worked too, from what I can remember but then again our parents probably just went with it so we felt like we'd fooled them!

Wikipedia say this about April Fools' Day;

April Fools' Day is celebrated in the Western world on the 1st of April of every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, 1st April is not a legal holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day which tolerates practical jokes and general foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

So I'm thinking that it would be really fun to get my boys to play a practical joke on their Dad,

so this is what we're going to do;

1. Superglue a pound coin just outside the front door and see if he tries to pick it up (I'm certain he'll give it a go!!)
2. Put some jelly worms in the cereal packet, so they end up in his breakfast.
3. Blow up a whoopee cushion and put it under his pillow before bed (okay this may not actually count seeing as it's after midday, but who cares anyway!!!)

Are you going to play any jokes on someone?? TTFN ~x~
