A fool's holiday

This holiday is a favorite amongst my family as it is a free pass to play pranks and no one can get mad. This year my husband encouraged me to make it a little more fun by doing extra special things. We thought of little things like for breakfast we made a breakfast sandwich that looked like a cheeseburger. For lunch the children scarfed down a pizza roll that looked like a glazed Bundt cake. Dinner the family delighted in a meatloaf cake shaped to look like a cake and topped with mashed potatoes resembling frosting and adorned with "cherry" tomatoes. Dessert was delicious cupcakes that were absolutely adorable looking like chicken drumsticks. 

As far as pranks go we try and come up with different and unexpected pranks each year. We have done the whole Oreo prank where you scrape out the filling and replace it with toothpaste. Which is horrible tasting for anyone who wants to try it, but it is quite funny to watch. This year my seven year old got me with the fake dog poop in my bathroom. My husband told me to go help our seven year old clean up his mess in their bathroom and even was getting upset with our son over it. We walked in there to find the entire toilet seat, and in the toilet covered in lumpy chocolate frosting. It took a double take to realize it was frosting and calm my stomach down. My fifteen year old fell victim of April Fool’s when April 2nd rolled around and he was caught at school with a backpack full of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus pictures. As you can see we love April Fool’s and it's a holiday to show what a fool you really are. Unfortunately there a victims of the fool! :)

One year I was determined to get my husband as he is not easily fooled. I tried pouring the powder of a kool aid package on him while he was taking a shower; unfortunately he was lathered in soap so it did not dye his skin as planned. My children have tried all the classics on him such as rubber banding the kitchen sprayer, saran wrapping the toilet seats, replacing his toothpaste with hemorrhoid cream. I thought I was pretty sneaky and was confident I would get succeed this year. I detached the cord for our fan in the toy room where the computer desk is. I reattached the cord to a cup filled with water and carefully placed it on the fan blade out of sight. I was so excited to see my little prank in action I followed him in there. After waiting fifteen minutes and trying to look like I had a purpose for being in there he stood up tom pull the cord. Instead of tipping on him it fell backwards and spilled all over me, just my luck. So I am back at square one and on the hunt for a prank that will finally avenge the many years of April Fool’s Day I have suffered.

I don’t know about anyone else but telling a story about you and not being able to use the word "I" was extremely difficult. How can I talk about myself without saying "I", I (lol) was constantly trying to figure out how to say a sentence omitting it. The faster I would type the more often I would use the word and have to go back and change it all.
