Chatterbox: Down to Earth

April Fools Day

April Fools Day Tricks! Someone please help me and my sister come up with some good ones. Any in particular for moms or dads, or little sisters? We are about out of ideas.

1. While your sister/parents/miscellaneous acquaintance is asleep, sing and/or play an annoying or random song (something catchy for preference) very softly into their ear. Laugh at them when it's stuck in their head for no apparent reason after they wake up.

2. Get up early and put chairs and things around the house in random positions about a long step's distance apart. For the rest of the day walk only on chairs, tables, or miscellaneous objects of furniture, and scream at other people not to step on the floor because it's made of lava.

3. If you have access to flashlights with (preferably red) light with beams visible in the daylight, put them up in a hallway at various random angles (like one of those laser hallways you see in science fiction or whatever). Stand by and shout at people not to touch the beams or they'll disintegrate.

4. Get up in the middle of the night and quietly move the smaller bits of furniture around (i.e. an end table to the other end of the room). The next day, act like that's the way it's always been.

5. Throughout the day, whenever anyone asks you for anything, ask if they want fries with that. If they ask you what you mean, stare at them blankly.

6. Finish everything you say with "In accordance with the prophecy" complete with overdramatic wavey hand gestures. Bonus points if you accidentally whack someone in the face. Double bonus points if you recruit all your friends to do this too.

7. Steal your victim's cellphone and put it in a high place where they wouldn't normally look. Turn up the ring volume to the highest setting. Surreptitiously call the phone every hour. (Note: do not do this if the victim uses cellphone as a business phone, like my mother does. It will not go over well.) 

 

Ha ha... #6 is actually kind of hilarious...

Crice: "Mary Liz, please do this math problem on the board."
ML: "Would you like fries with that?"
Crice: "..."
ML: "In accordance with the prophecy, silly!" *knocks over King Hector*

I'm gonna try some of those :D

And then if teachers yell just put it down to tiredness because I stayed up 'til 2 the night before Screnzy'ing.

Here's a good one: Get a rubber cockroach or plastic spider. Put it in the middle of the kitchen, living room, dining room, or wherever and watch people freak out whenever they walk in.

Or:

Come running out of the kitchen screaming, "COCKROACH! COCKROACH!" at the top of your lungs. If your parents say, "Where?" say, "In the kitchen. Go and kill it, PLEEEEZE." Bonus points if you get them to go in the kitchen and look for it. Double bonus points if you freak out your sister.

Andy P. C. says ieoa. Andy dear, that's not how you spell Iowa. *pause* Are you going on a vacation to Iowa? Andy! How many times do I have to say this? TELL me about these things before you do them!

Hey! That's my birthday. The same birthday as Fred and George Weasley!  I have never had an April Fool's Day trick played on me, even though every year my friends say "I'm going to play a huuge trick on you this year for your birthday!" (maybe not that exact phrase), but they never actually do. I would be completely unsuspecting if one of them did actually play a trick on me. Therefore, I am the complete opposite of an authority on April Fool's Day tricks.

Um, maybe that IS their trick!!! They get you all worked up (or at least they think they do), and then make you wait all day for nothing. Nice. :)

When someone asks you for a glass of water, put 1 or 2 drops of yellow food dye coloring in it.  They'll think it's urine.

Put plastic wrap over the toilet seat so that you can't see it.  ( I know that's one's really bad.)

H'mm. I once convinced two of my friends that there was a secret passageway under our school -- she totally believed me. When they asked our teacher if it was true, the teacher said, "Of course," without smiling or even looking at me. Ah, the expressions of their faces when we told them it wasn't true ... byxo.
