LOL, Kim! That’s hysterical. You reminded me of some other April Fool’s Day pranks. I worked for a global consulting firm. They had some of the best pranksters in the world. There was one Consultant who had a particularly challenging client. The staff copied that client’s photo and pasted it all over the consultant’s office-I mean ALL over.

She picked up the phone, there was a small cut-out of her client’s picture. She signed on to her computer, the wallpaper was the client’s picture. She pulled open a drawer-more pictures. It was one of the funniest things I ever witnessed.

Thanks for sharing your story, Kim, and I will pass on your best wishes to Mom. My jammies may have changed over the years, but not Mom’s sense of fun. 🙂

One April Fool’s day at work, we decided to play a little prank on the MDs we worked with. Each one was left a missed call message and directed to call a Dr L. E. Funt. They all fell for it … it was hilarious! The phone number they called? It was the Cleveland Zoo. Fortunately, the folks at the Zoo were very good sports.
Thanks for this post Cathy, and thanks for bringing back the fun! 🙂
P.S. Are you still sitting @ the computer in your jammies? Wish your Mom a very happy April Fool’s from me.

Great fun! My Dad used to play April Fools Day jokes on us all the time when we were growing up, but for the life of me I can’t remember any of the jokes– I think most of them were groaners!! He lives over seas now and I would have to ask him if he remembers any of them, thanks for triggering the idea, I will see if he does remember any of them!

That is hysterical, Suzi! My Mom never went that far, but she got me every year because every year I forgot it was April Fool’s Day. Thanks for stopping by, Suzi, and sharing a great story that had me laughing out loud. 😀

Thank you for reminding me that today is April Fools Day. You probably saved me from falling for a few pranks at work. When my daughter was about 12 years old she April Fooled us. My late husband and I woke up to the alarm clock going off at 3:00 A.M. Dan looked at me and burst out laughing. Someone had drawn a mustache and beard on me as we slept. Our bedroom was filled with streamers of toilet paper. Still laughing we got out of bed and stepped on a sheet of bubble wrap and as we reached for the door handle we were met with a handful of Vaseline and when we sat on the toilet seat, again, Vaseline. My daughter is 26 years old now but we still laugh about her April Fool’s Day pranks.

In reply to Lori.

I loved the Taco Bell one, too. Maybe because this was my Mom’s specialty, but I usually knew pretty quickly that they were April Fool’s Day jokes – unless I was just rolling out of bed and the brain cells hadn’t kicked in. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, Lori.

In reply to Diana Samalot. I know what you mean, Diana. I do the same thing. I can't keep the stupid smirk off my face. It's a dead give-away. Thanks for stopping by, Diana, and sharing in the fun.
