Of I forgot to mention, my dad also pranked me on April fool's day. He only did it once over the years, so he really got me. He waited until an April's fool's day that was on Saturday (if I recall correctly).
I was still in high school. I had to get up during the week by 6am, so the weekends were very important to me time to "sleep in"! So, dad waited until a Saturday, he got up just after sun-up. He came in my room and shook my bed telling me to wake up, he said I had a phone call. I crawled out of bed struggling to walk and make it through the house to the kitchen where our phone was.
Getting a call early in the morning was very unusual, so I thought something was going on...of course my dad knew that's what I would think! When I picked up the phone and said, "Hello"...it was silent, I asked again, "HELLO "as I struggled to wake up, again nothing...then it 'hit me'! I slammed the phone down and stormed out towards my parents' room. Dad was in bed and 'apparently' a sleep.? It hit me it was a joke! The first time my dad had ever done anything like this, and I really fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker...
I smiled and went back to bed. But, of course, I could not go back to sleep...it now is a fond memory of my late father...I miss him every day.
