Fun April Fools Jokes

When I was in high school my dad always got up before me. He would start a pot of coffee and then go out on our couch and lay back down and go back to sleep. No problem except he always woke me up and it was more than an hour earlier than I had to get up. I never could go back to sleep. So, one time when he did it, I waited until he went back to sleep, I snuck into the kitchen and unplugged the coffee...then I went back to bed. When I got up, he said nothing about it, so the next morning I did it again! Later that morning when I saw him, he again said nothing...

So, I let it go the next morning hoping he would not get suspicious if I skipped a morning. Then again, the next morning I did it again...but he busted me...

We had many a good laugh about that over the years...but never did stop waking me up early when he got up...

He is gone now; I miss him very much. The good memories I have are many and he was very special...
 
One of my boys would always prank me for April fools day. 🤣

One time he replaced the sugar I always stirred into my coffee with salt. 🤣

Another time he stretched Saran Wrap across the toilet bowl then put the rim down on top of it right before I got up so I was the first one to use it. 🤣

Another time he stretched clear packing tape at eye level across the doorway right before I walked through it 🤣
 
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.
 
My late husband pulled a good one on me once. I have always been afraid of spiders. I always had to get up before dawn to get ready for work and would walk out of the bedroom into the hall and then into the bathroom without turning on the lights so as not to wake him.

He had previously stuck long lengths of black thread to a long piece of adhesive tape and then after I crawled in bed, he had stuck the adhesive tape to the top of the door. I got up in the dark and passed through the door, getting brushed by the long threads which felt like a spiders web. I screamed and started swatting around me. He woke up and laughed like a fool. I could have killed him.
 
When I was in my late teens my Mother told me to turn around in the kitchen. Then she patted the top of my head and said, "You've got a little bald spot going there!"

I was floored! What!!!???

Then she said , "April Fools!" But boy did Mom ever get me with that one! lol!
