Great post! O.k., here's a few April Fools pranks I'd like to share:
I once asked my younger brother if he would like to have an ice cream sundae. He excitedly said yes Didi, please make it for me! So I made him a really gorgeous looking ice cream sundae with three different colours/flavours of ice cream, chocolate sauce, and chopped nuts, and then I topped it with whipped cream...only it wasn't really whipped cream, it was shaving cream! The look on his face when he ate a spoonful of that sundae was priceless!
I have also put salt instead of sugar every April Fool's day into my husband's tea. He falls for my prank every year!
O.k., here's my best prank yet: In the US, winning lottery ticket numbers are announced on tv. One year, I watched the reading of the numbers and video recorded the telecast. I then filled out a lottery card and purchased a ticket featuring those winning numbers. I gave my mom the ticket and when it was time for the numbers to be announced on tv, I played the taped program from the previous day which featured the same numbers I put on my lottery ticket. Imagine the look on my mom's face when she saw that each and every number matched and we had supposedly won a substantial amount of money! She started screaming excitedly and saying, Arre we won, we won! I felt really guilty so I shouted, happy April Fool's Day ma! Oh boy, she was so mad at me after that! I got the idea for this prank from a comedy show I once watched.
