Hit me with your best April Fool's shenanigans

[ThestoriesIcouldtellyou]

My DD is going to look out the window at school and convince everyone it's snowing....

Yesterday, MNHQ requested that we don’t share April fools day pranks on here.

You need to spend the morning trying to convince your DD that this is weird and the entire class will likely just wholly ignore her. And it will be humiliating for her.

How old is she?

We’ve done the ‘daddy, there’s a leak in the bathroom’ etc and when he comes running up there’s a leek (vegetable) in the bath. Harmless and the kids found it hilarious.

Don’t be a ridiculous fun sponge.

What? Suggesting a parent try to encourage their child avoid doing something that is going to result in tumbleweed and fall utterly flat?

Ok… so we parent differently! @CrowMate

Why would it fall flat? It snowed here last week. Like a metre of snow. Snow has been forecast again. The best April Fool's are just on the side of believable and quickly disproved. I have no idea why Mumsnet doesn't want us to talk about it. It's like banning talk about Easter.

You sound weird for saying that tbh.

I agree - it’s a terrible idea.

@Notmauve Calling a child weird and suggesting to them that they’d be humiliated if a small joke fell a bit flat…yeah, definitely parent differently.

@ThestoriesIcouldtellyou i think that (MNHQ ban) was an April Fool’s joke.

DD (who is 9) is just about to get up and prepare her DDads's fried egg and toast breakfast.

With yoghurt and half a tinned apricot.

She has been planning this since January.

All I've done is purchase the necessary ingredients 😌

They didn’t actually not too. I was going to do a rather lame April fools to you but before I could post any further things got a bit weird.

Damn! You got me big time 😂 😂 😂 @Batties. AND in the first post 😂 😂 😂

She’s been planning since January? Seriously?

It was 😊 although a very lame one!

Audible had us believing Teddy Hamilton, a spicy book narrator would be narrating the dictionary. This was a good one

That's genius.

I told my children they had been chosen to participate in vegetable challenge week and only eat vegetables at every meal. Then I presented DD1 with a single chive on a plate for breakfast.

About a hundred years ago (80s) the teachers decided to 'April fool' us secondary pupils that the hall ceiling had fallen in. (?)

It somehow resulted in utter chaos. It escalated to the point where quite a few pupils actually left the school grounds and went home! 🤣

(it was a quite crap school. Grange Hill vibe)

Oh and DD2 said to DH "Daddy your car keys look different". She had replaced them with toy ones.

Last year we put DD’s cup of milk that she’d have for breakfast in the freezer overnight. Then put it on the table in the morning so that when she picked it up to have a drink, it was solid so obviously wouldn’t pour.

ETA - she was 5.

You win the thread 😂

Egg, chips and toast 😋

Well we must all follow zee rulez mustn’t we.

How old is your daughter?

So in the middle of class she’s going to look out the window and exclaim it’s snowing… when it isn’t?

Please can you quote where I called the child weird and not the prank?
