To play April Fools jokes on my family?

[Hopandaskip]

I'm thinking koolaid in the shower head and caution tape wrapped around the loo.

Any other ideas?

YABU

It's March 20th.

I once snuck down to the kitchen, got a vegetable, snuck back upstairs into the bathroom, placed it in the sink and then yelled "MUM MUM MUM! There's a massive leak in the sink!!"

Mum came rushing in in a panic.

It would have been funnier had it been a leak and not a parsnip

leek.

tsk.

yes yabu because it's still march.Next!

I told DH I changed his name via the deed poll website last year.

Put a long green vegetable behind the bathroom sink/bath/washing machine outlet. then wail loudly for DP preferably early in the morning to "come NOW and see this massive leek (geddit?) behind the sink, arghhhhh etc ect"
(worked a treat last year )

bovril and milk and sugar instead of coffee...kids got me with that once.

DS once wore younger DDs scalloped edge school polo shirt for an hour before I told him just before he was about to leave for school!

Tack DP's suit jacket cuffs together..cue great hilarity as he attempts to stuff arms in when already late for work...

long and distinguished tradition here....

ooh hectate x post...but it works well!

well yes.

If it's not a parsnip.

All hilarious...

Do it and do it now! That way they won't be expecting it

LOL

Cling film over the toilet.

When I wasn't ttc announcing I was pregnant, I can only wish this year.

Salt and sugar swapped.

Ping pong balls/packing peanuts in all the kitchen cupboards.

YABVVU unless you are 10 years old!

Bah humbug

I posted a tits and bums type magazine to my 16 year old son and then kept asking him what was in the brown envelope all day until he admitted it was porn (which it wasn't really) and then sadly admitted that he didn't know who sent it to him and he accepted that his parents would never believe him. He is 27 now, but still incredibly gullible.

(...dashes off to buy multipack of leeks....)

DH and FIL are plumbers. I called them one year saying there was a leak on the radiator in the bathroom. Both came rushing home to find a leek on the radiator. I was not flavour of the month

I've had to resort to FB to catch my family the past two years...

First, I changed my relationship status to "engaged", to my friend. 100+ congratulatory comments later, and Mum catches it; all hell breaks loose. It took her two weeks to forgive me.

Last year, changed my birthday to April 1st. Had floods of birthday wishes, including from my niece, and my brother in law. Also left 100 ish notifications for my best friend...

I'm considering changing my name, profile pic and deleting all personal info this year... may need a few status hides, but reckon I can get a few people that way...

YABVVU unless you are 10 years old!

Bah humbug
