Ha Ha April Fools!

 Every year I try to play out an April Fools joke on one person. this year I had to target my Dad and Step-mom only because it had been a while and it was the perfect set up.
 As many may know they live far far away in the magical land of Ohio near the PA boarder where it snows all year and when it doesn't know there is road construction to fix the massive potholes from the snow. We have been planning a visit to go see them with both kids for what seems like a year now. Most of my family in Ohio have never met Mister and I have new family I have enver met there too like a niece and my cousin's miracle son who was born 10 weeks early and is now almost 2yrs old!! Last time we made the trek to Ohio was when Ladybug was 7.5 months old, it was there in my dad's purple bathroom I learned I was expecting a new baby!  SOOO pranking them was perfect!!!
 I called when I knew they were both home and asked to be put on speaker, I sounded as upset I could sound but saved the best for a few minutes into my whole talk. I had asked The Marine earlier in the day to help with this and he came out with a beautiful thing to have had 'happen'. I told them something had happened to my car today when I was driving back from getting the kids silhouette portraits done but I didn't know what so when The Marine got home we went for a ride and cue the crying my car broke. Cue way more crying and almost cannot understand me, serisouly I could have been and actor! We were at the mechanics now and the water pump had broken making the serpentine belt poke a hole in my radior and that it was going to be upwards of a thousand dollars to fix it, thus eating up our entire savings we had for Ohio. I was so good that my dad had to ask to say it slower and more clearly cause he couldn't understand me through my babble and cries!!!! SUCCESS! They sounded crushed (I feel almost bad about that) but said they wanted time to digest what I had just told them. I muttered that I would call them later when I calmed down a little, as I was just so upset.
 About an hour later my step-mom called and asked if I was ok, I started the fake near cry again. Then she said that they talked and they would pay for our gas, we could still come to Ohio!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO what great parents I have! I played a little more kept saying what?! what?! really?! Ha ha it was good stuff.
Then I asked her what today was....pause...pause... "um it's April firs......OH You brat!!!!!" muhahahahahaha April Fools!!!!

 so what did you do for April Fools???

  1. I can just see the absolute disappointment on your dad's face...that was cruel and mean and hilarious all at the same time! Well I'm glad to hear you're coming home to the frozen tundra! Your family will be so happy to see you and your family! Wish I could be in on the fun, I haven't seen you or your dad in years.

  2. I called my dh and asked if he'd ever heard of a vasectomy reversing....then said I had been feeling sick and thought that I was pregnant. My poor 54 yr. old dh almost had a heart attack! Then I told my 3 oldest kids I was pregnant....only the 19 yr. old son fell for it...until I asked if he thought that he and his gf might be interested in adopting the baby since we're so old....PRICELESS

    But I didn't do as good a job at acting as you did. Your prank was great!!
