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.
