April Fool’s Day - April 1st

I remember this from the 80's, published by BMW in the UK. BMW did an April fool’s joke every year. They said this car feature would be introduced on all models in readiness for the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Designed by Dr. Rilfühl, with support work from Hans Grabbem, allegedly. 😀

when I was a kid mom pulled one on me...I came in from outside and she said I had to wash my hands and to use the black bar of soap. Turns out the more I washed the blacker my hands got...ha ha.. I got her back after I discovered a stash my dad had of little toothpick like things that exploded when placed in the end of a cigarette.. ha ha ha
 
Like most kids, when I was in High School, I valued the time I got to sleep, as it seemed like I could never get enough of it. Early one morning on a school day, around 6am, my dad came in and shook me awake, telling me I had a phone call. As I struggled to get out of bed and find my robe. As I left my room, I noticed my dad going back to his bedroom.

I finally got myself together and struggled out to the kitchen where the phone was on the wall. The phone was hung up, I grabbed it thinking maybe they were still on the line, who would be calling me at 6am, I wondered. But no, just a dial tone...no one on the phone. I stormed back to my parent's room, knocking on the door asking my dad, though the door "why he hung up" on my call. Then I heard both mom and dad laughing, and then dad said happy April fool's day!

I used this April fool's day routine on all three of my kids during their Senior Year of High School. It worked every time, I made it clear to the 'oldest' they better not warn their siblings. And they did not!

Finally, on the first Monday, after my dad retired, I was married living a few hours away. I got up early that morning and gave my dad a call, at 6am. When he answered, I wished him a happy retirement and hung up.....Turn around is fair play!

My son put a load in my cigarette when he was about 12. We had company and he kept hanging around us in the kitchen. Eventually, I took a drag from my cigarette and it exploded in my face!

The laughter was long and loud. My kid laughed so hard he actually sunk to the floor. Once I got over my shock, I laughed too.
