Dh got me...

I awoke to a note on the computer saying:
Do not mess with the computer!!! Last night it started ringing & putting out smoke on the side of it.

So, I went upstairs to clean- came downstairs a little while ago & dh started laughing at me saying he finally got me. Evil evil man. Messing w/ my computer!!! I would have died

So have you been "tricked" ???

Good one! I forgot about it being 4/1. That is always dangerous. I anticipate a fun day of 'you have a spider on your shoulder' with my son once he remembers that it is April Fool's Day (which will be after I play a joke on him!).

Best one that I ever did was in high school when two of my buddies spent the night with me. April 1 was a Saturday and we were going to a track meet so I changed all the clocks an hour ahead (after they went to sleep on Friday night). Saturday morning, the alarm went off and they dragged themselves out of bed and started getting ready. They kept on asking me why I wasn't getting ready... I told them that I wanted for them to finish up then I'd take my turn. This was all actually a great way for me to get the bathroom to myself, hah, they both ALWAYS took forever to get ready!!! So, afterward, I said, 'well, now it's my turn to get ready and I have about an hour... enjoy the couch and April Fools!'. They were so mad.

Still makes me laugh to remember... and they have never let me live that one down!

Well, I better get ready for everyone... They are in bed and it's best to do this right when they wake up. {...insert evil laugh...}

My kids are famous for the spider on the shoulder trick. As a matter of fact, I've heard it so much this morning that I've promised restriction for the next one to say it..lol. J/K. They'll get me all day. My BF just called laughing her head off, said she finally got her husband. He's at work and she called and told him that the neighbor's were outside cutting trees and one just fell on top of the BRAND NEWLY BUILT Garage. HE BLEW UP! What trees, What trees he yelled. The ones in the back yard, she said....He yelled in the phone that they were THEIR trees and to go outside and tell them to get the H*ll off their land....LOL. Megan said, I would Billy but that would be rude since its APRIL FOOL'S DAY! He told her he wasn't coming home ever again...LOL. We've tried for years to get this man....and she did it on her own....You Go Girl!

My joke did not go as well

I called my DH as he was at Lowes (read high most holy ground) and told him that our neighbors kid ran into the back of our SUV with his parents golf cart.....he yelled and said S.O.B..........i'll be home in a minute! and hangs up in my ear....now please picture my DH running through Lowes at breakneck speed and I was calling him back the whole time. He finally answers my call as he's peeling out of the park lot and I yell at him for not answering and said Honey what day is it.....he says what does that matter........I say it matters.....so he says sunday....I say sunday April the what.....he pauses and says....shut up!! I going back to my happy place! I will have some work to do later....if he doesn't kill our bank account at the high holy place!

UPDATE: he just came in the house with a smirk on his face, and says come see the new riding lawn mower I bought (see my note above about the bank account).....so I go tearing out there and nothing. He is such a butt!!

No one has gotten me yet today cross fingers knock on wood. I forgot about the whole april fools thing until this morning. hubby and friends always hang out sundays you should have seen the dissapointment in his face when one friend called to call the whole thing off making excuses about haveing to run into work because of a last minute inspection or something moments later he's yelling then laughing.

Normally I do lots of planning and researching for my april 1 pranks but this year I was caught off guard. Luckily I thought of just the thing. My family has been driving me nuts about "when are you going to have a baby" so today I announced via myspace that "I'm pregnant". Next I call my mom and told her about my nephews baptism last night about how cute he is and how it makes me want one. (however we are not ready for kids yet financially and i would like to finish my degree).

Two hours later my mom calls me and asks if there's something she needs to know cause my sister just called her and said that she should talk to me. Apparently my sister was quite convinced because she was careful not to let the cat out of the bag afraid that i'd be mad if she told my mom before i got a chance. After calming down my mom and telling her it was just part of a prank I jumped online and sent my sister a message on aim "Whats today's date?". Moments later i got a cap locks THATS NOT FUNNY!!! . oh but it really is. trust me.

Peace.

I told my DH that the computer blue-screened and then turned off. He fell for it.

My DS told DH that his bike tire was flat AGAIN right after DH had filled it. He fell for it.

We told my oldest DS that Drake Bell was at the cafe where my DH and I had breakfast. He fell for it.

My DS told me that the dog had peed on the carpet. I fell for it.

All-in-all a great day! LOL.

I glad all of us have laughter in our lives!! Lifes to short to be boring!!

My DD played a joke on her grandfather today. He was watching direct tv and while he was downstairs watching it she took her remote control from her bedroom and used it to "mysteriously" change the channel on him. (She was upstairs doing this) It was sooooo funny because he's sitting there wondering what is wrong with the tv. He kept getting up and turning it off, then back on, and it still wouldn't work right. It took everything in me not to laugh the entire time. She'd also randomly turn the volume up on him too. It was great.

My husband played a mean joke on me this morning. Earlier this year, we had some IRS issues and they "the IRS" wiped out our bank accounts the day after payday, leaving us scrambling to even pay the rent....I woke up this morning, and my Husband looks at me with a very serious face and says, "The IRS struck again...." That was wrong on SO many levels!

I got dh real good! As soon as dh step on the porch ..I open the door all panicky said Honey the monitor just sparked and smoked came out of it.. I was on the phone with my sister so this made it even more believable.. ..My sister was laughing so hard I almost lost it..I said she told me to unplug it , it could get to the hard drive..He said No Sh^t.. He was really flipping .. While he was disconnecting the monitor ....He said, I thought I smelled something burning.. By then I lost it and said April Fools.

You guys are professionals! I am laughing as I read this thread.

Next year, we need to get an April Fool's thread going a few days beforehand so that we can share ideas. Let's try to remember to do that.

Ha ha (laughing about trying to remember to do that!).

I told our 4 sons that they were going to have a baby sister-they didn't think that was too funny.....

Several years ago when I worked at a major bank in downtown Chicago, I taped all the buttons down on the phones (we had those black analog phones with the two buttons that come up when you pick up the handset). Stayed late (like I usually did) the night before (it was a weeknight) - no one was there. I did the whole end of our floor (about 100 phones) I even taped down mine so they wouldn't catch on. It was so funny seeing everyone picking up their phone as it rang and having it still ring. I never told and I don't think anyone ever knew.

I pulled a good one on my best guy friend last night.... A little background, I am separated from my husband since October, so this really couldn't be true unless I was having a little dalliance with my stbx. But, my friend ate it up... here's the transcript of our chat:

Me: And then I had some unexpectedly crazy news this morning
Him: oh?
Me: well it appears I'm going to be a mommy again
Me: broke down and took a test
Him: took a test?
Him: is that how that works? #-o
Me: a pregnancy test
Me: u are not very funny right now
Him: hmm so you've been pregnant for a while then?
Me: no... just a few weeks, maybe a month
Him: oh
Me: lapse in judgement
Me: i guess on both of our parts
Him: wow not sure what to say
Him: so does he know yet?
Me: No, haven't said anything.
Him: think that will change anything?
Me: it might possibly have you mad at me for a little while
Him: me mad at you?
Me: cause you've just been APRIL FOOLed
Him: well no beer for you, you're grounded
Him: you're the second one to pull the preggo one on me
Me: it's a classic
Me: hey at least you werent worrying about it being yours
Him: yeah that's a good thing
