i have vivid childhood memories of April Fools Day. not even sure that i was annually pranked by my dear sweet mother, but it seems that when she did succeed in fooling us kids, it made an impression. there were several jokes that caught me~ the overly gullible one....mostly, i remember saran wrap under the toilet seat (i believe that horrified me), and once an all-purpose cleaning sponge cut into cake-sized pieces, placed in individual bowls, and covered completely in yummy frosting with sprinkles on top, served as our after-school snack (i've always loved my cake, so this prank caused great elation followed quickly by a giant letdown upon first slice).
so, this year, as a tribute to my mom, it was time to do the same to my own kids. seeing as i have zero original creativity, i consulted Google. Google came through. only two or three of my crew are really easy to trick anymore. and tricked they were! although, the call upstairs for warm brown "E's" did get Hannah. she had it coming to her. besides, i was kind enough to follow with real warm brownies later...
AJ actually finished a WHOLE OREO cookie with the sweet filling replaced with toothpaste, before declaring they were awful. halfway through he began blowing deep breaths through his pursed lips, because of the strong minty flavour, saying "i don't really like the mint OREO's as much as the regular kind..." he was trying to like it, he really was...Layla knew the joke, so the two of us just about died laughing at him.
Hudson was equally disgusted. they both were great sports though.
