April Fool THIS!

I hate April Fool’s Day.
I don’t think practical jokes are funny. Anymore anyway.
When I was younger, I used to look for anything and every way to play practical jokes on my parents. I used to get a kick out of stressing them the fuck out. I swear I am the sole reason as to why my parents have grey hairs.
I remember one time, I decided that I would have my friends brother call my mom and pretend that he was a police officer. He proceeded to tell her that I had been involved in some illegal activity, and that he couldn’t go into details on the phone. He told her that he needed her to come down to the station.
I could hear my mom fucking yelling through the reciever. Then, my dad got on the phone.
“You tell her that she can sit her fucking ass in jail until she sees the judge. We will NOT be coming to pick her up.”
(I was literally rolling on the floor laughing at this point. If you have ever met my dad, when he gets mad, he *l i t e r a l l y* gets purple. So I could totally see his bugged out purple face.)
“Sir, I am going to need you to come down here so I can discuss the severity of the charges.”
(I am surprised that he could even keep a straight face while he listened to whatever it was that my dad had to say.)
“Mmmhm, I understand. Okay, that is fair. I will come to you. What is the address? See you soon.”
(Fuck.)
So we decide to go and reveal the joke in person. I swear it was gonna be less of a drama situation than that. Of course I was like 15… so what did I know about seeing things from all angles? We pull up, and there my dad is. Standing on the porch. Purple as fuck.
Obviously this was not planned correctly. Obviously he was not in a police car. He was in a Honda.
Imagine the walk of shame that I was on at this point.
“In jail, huh?” My dad asked.
“Uhhh. April Fools?” (it wasnt even April)
“Looks like the joke is on you. You are grounded.”
(Fuck.)
Turns out, my dad saw through my bullshit. He told my friends brother calmly to bring me home. And, when he walked his goofy ass up to the porch with me, my dad grabbed him by the throat and explained something to him that no one else heard and that he will probably never ever forget.
What I didn’t see was that my mom was a hot hysterical mess. And that shit wasn’t funny. Jokes like this almost always get taken too far. That is why I hate jokes. I made it very clear to everyone around me that I was not interested in any part of the April Fools Day pranks. I better not have anything taped or glued or missing off of my desk.
That is all I have to say about that.
Are you a prankster?
What is the best joke you have pulled off? Worst?
Do you fall for pranks easily???
Tell me one time someone got you really good.
Oh. And go wish PQ a Happy Birthday.

Brock isn’t homophobic, but he does not react well if it’s directed at him. So about a few days before his bithday Gretchen and I went to have lunch at the resturant he worked at. When we left my mind just went “ding!” Instead of driving home like a good girl, I drive to the store and buy a blank birthday card and write him a love letter inside the card describing how “I” fell in love with him in jr high and talked about how when we were on the wrestling team together “I” would try not to stare at him in the locker room, was sad I had to move away but just moved back, hoped maybe he felt the same, etc. I signed it John. Of course I hear about this card that was on his windshield when he got off work. He was kinda pissed and wracking his brain trying to remember anyone named John on his wrestling team.
Meanwhile I’m dating a guy who has a gay roommate. Perfect!!! I ask his rommate if he’ll call Brock and pretend to be John, warning him he was going to get called every name in the book. He was grinning from ear to ear and couldn’t wait to make that call. I gave him details he couldn’t have known unless it were true. Example. We have a friend, Eric, who had short preppy hair in high school but at the time was bartending way out in BFE and had dreads down to his ass. That is where “John” got Brocks number and he “couldn’t believe how long Eric’s dreads were!”
Hook.
Line.
Sinker.
The call happened when Brock was on his way to my house for his “princess” birthday party.
This all happened when Punk’d first came out. His birthday card from me? Another blank card with a big picture of Ashton’s face cut out from a magazine and glued to the front. Inside in black sharpie…”You just got punk’d bitch!” He was mad at me for about 15 minutes. Now he loves to tell people about how good I got him. He swore retaliation but so far…..not a peep. If he gets me I’m fine with it. I earned it. But it was some funny shit for a few days listening to him say “Who is this John guy?”

I hate April fool’s day. Most of the time I see through the bullshit but I am just gullible enough to believe a doozy every now and then and there’s nothing more this April hates than being made a fool of. Now little stuff like rearranging shit on my desk or something, I can handle that and even think it can be amusing. On any day of the year. I just don’t like being lied to and saying “April fools!” at the end doesn’t make it better.
I work with all men in a construction office so there is a certain level of immaturity I’ve had to get used to and I’ve come to expect things. Like after there was a snake in the office and the guys all witnessed me screaming my head off, the next morning when I got to my desk and pulled out the keyboard there was a rubber snake laying on it which made me jump but figured out right away that it was fake so no screams. I still couldn’t touch the damn thing though.

It’s hit or miss with me… It depends entirely on how well someone knows me… I have fine lines that CANNOT be crossed with what I find funny and what I do not…

The best april fools to me are the FUN ones.
there is a line where they turn mean and ugly.
i am NOT down with that side of the line.
last year, we blew up hundreds of balloons and filled the kids bedrooms around their beds so they woke up to balloon land.
it was all smiles and laughter and FUN.
THAT is the side i like

That is cool. I would have loved to have seen that.

I was once told by a Lakota woman that I have the spirit of the sacred Heyokah. They are all wise tricksters whose trick is a lesson the trickee needs to learn. It is honor to be chosen by a Heyokah for this purpose. Other than that, I wouldn’t consider myself a prankster.

I was in a hurry yesterday. I never pulled malicious pranks. But when I was younger and in more of a seat of power among all I knew, I would allow (occasionally even gently nudge) a situation where a choice was to be made between right and wrong and the person would be rewarded justly. Never too bad or too serious. Just something to make them consciously think about their actions. Like they had enough rope to hang themselves or save themselves. This was almost always a situation of their own creation, and i watched over it tailoring it a bit so as to be more black and white. More of an obvious lesson. I was respected for this. But I was young and, though what I did was good, I stopped playing God when I realized I had no desire to be anyone else’s shepherd.

I am the queen of falling for stuff, which is why I also hate pranks of all sorts. Well, not all sorts-but most. We used to have some pretty fun prank wars but that was mostly about getting up at the buttcrack, driving to our friend’s house and putting the ugliest glittery-est girly stickers we could find onto his car-and then watching him blame his room mate. Ha!
I’m also a sucker for being startled- I HATE THAT SHIT!!! Do NOT jump out from behind a corner at me because I will scream. And then probably cry. And you will feel bad.

oooooooooooh. I love scaring people… hmmm. I might feel bad later but I bet you are cute when you are scared.

I can’t remember what my friend Josh did to me, but in retaliation, I turned everything in his cube upside down, except the desk. I also taped over the earpiece of his headset under the foam thing and watched him get more and more annoyed that he couldn’t hear. That was just a Wednesday though
If we still worked together, I would’ve done something epic today.
