Pranked!

Ahh, April Fool's Day... A time for us to get clever with our devious side and freak some people out. Whatever you end up doing to just remember there is a difference between fun and cruelty. April fool's pranks are supposed to end in wacky laughter, not someone seeking revenge. For example, putting mustard in someone's shampoo bottle is funny. Putting a fake spider in someone's refrigerator is also funny, just make sure they are not deathly afraid of spiders, you don't want them to go into cardiac arrest. Letting the air out of someone's tire(s) is cruel, inconvenient and not funny at all. They will probably be late to something and may have to call a tow truck which will cost them $$$. Putting a mouse trap in their mailbox is also cruel. In my opinion, pranks aren't supposed to be painful. So put on your thinking cap before you make or break someone's day.

The most memorable prank pulled on me, well, me and my family was some years ago... My oldest sister was just 2 years married. The rest of my siblings and I, still lived at home with my mother. We were all sitting there just doing whatever when my oldest sister comes busting in the back door covered in blood and bruises. This was shocking, we didn't know what to do or what happened. Before we could even start to ask her what the hell happened, her husband came rushing in the same door with some kind of weapon in his hand yelling for her so he could finish what he started. I just closed my eyes and rushed into him to try and tackle him. I was only 17, he had to be at least 25. I knew I couldn't take him, but it didn't matter, as long as I kept him from her. Five seconds later..."APRIL FOOLS!" They both yelled out. I was breathing heavy, didn't laugh at all. It was way too soon to erase the adrenaline-filled emotions I was experiencing. All I heard was my mother say "F*ck you!" and then I laughed, we all did except my mother. She eventually smiled though. After all these years nothing has been able to top this, and I've had quite a few good pranks pulled on me and have done some good ones to other people as well. My sister's prank brought out some REAL feelings of panic that temporarily messed with our heads. I still remind her of it on occasion.

One of the most famous pranks were done by the French. They would stick a paper fish on someone's back without them knowing and yell "APRIL FISH" (Poisson d'avril). Why? I don't know, just to make someone look stupid I guess... It worked!
