I talk to the trees Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Dd and some of her classmates have a good one planned for one of her professors. It involves some very creative grant-writing skills. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm not much of a prankster, but if I were, in the current circumstances, it would only be to make a very fun and positive experience out of a ho-hum one that they were expecting as part of a routine day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Our pranks are of the very silly variety - like trying to trick someone into thinking that it's snowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My girls still talk about the April Fools when I put red jello in their cups and told them it was Kool-Aid and they tried to drink it. That was years ago. I have Jello in the cabinet...I may do that for them. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 4 kids are all under 8, so it would be very silly and light hearted whatever it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My daughter once switched the spoons and the forks in the silverware drawer - that was a simple prank. Last year, I got the wiggly eyes and put them all over the place. My family got such a kick out of them. My daughter loved them so much that I did it again for her birthday. She refuses to take some down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahm Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My kids have been looking forward to this day for months. They have great plans to prank me, but since the oldest ones are 6 and 7, I'm expecting lots of jumping out of hiding places. I should probably do something to them, but I don't know what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can see if I can fill them up with Jello. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoolC Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don’t have a plan for this year, but our favorite was telling the grandparents we had made some brownies. The kids had cut out brown paper “E’s” and put them in a baking dish covered with tin foil. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) My ds15 is hoping we prank him. I’m going to hairspray the end of the TP to the rest of the roll, so he keeps spinning it around trying to find the end. I’m going to do the thing where I sneeze behind him with a spray bottle and spray his neck as I sneeze. I just found out about this one and haven’t tested it, but if you hit ctrl-alt-and the down arrow, it’s supposed to make everything on your screen upsdie down. ctrl-alt-up arrow puts it back to normal. I’ll try it on his computer tomorrow. I don’t normally do pranks, but he wants us to and will be sad if we don’t.

I'm going for "harmless" pranks today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2scouts Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We don't normally do pranks, but a woman I know did one. She sent a text to her kids with a fake news report with the governor's picture and a headline saying that all students were going to have to repeat their current grade next year. When her son protested that he wasn't going to do anymore online work then, she told them they still had to do the online work because it was going to be averaged with next year's grade. The kid finally told her he checked with another family and searched Google and, since it wasn't on Google, he was sure it wasn't true.😂 It's funny, but kind of mean too.

Miss Tick Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Me this morning: Ick, The coffee looks kind of spinach-y green. But I love coffee, and it smells good, so...

Miss Tick Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I bought a package of jello during my 2 week stock up. I'm hoping for revenge, served cold, at dinner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Oh man was I wrong that people wouldn't want to prank today. It was glorious and everyone enjoyed it so much. The day started with ds11 putting salt in dh's coffee. So, when I came down for the morning I had ds11 do a few random tasks like get me a diaper, let the dog out. Then I decided to just keep asking him to do things that got more and more complicating and see how long it took him to realize that all his siblings were around me too and they weren't doing anything. He ended changing the babies diaper, getting his brother yogurt, letting the dogs back in, making me coffee(sans salt,) picking up some trash that was on the ground and throwing it away, starting a load of laundry and finally when i told him to grab hangers and hang about 50 shirts (a mixture of everyones clothes plus the spring shirts i pulled out he said no. I laughed so hard. dh dipped dum dums in salt ans rewrapped them for all the kids but the 3 year old. so, when they saw him eating a lollipop they thought nothing of it. dd put coffee grounds in ds's shoes. and ds7 and i pulled off the jello as juice trick perfectly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
