April Fool’s Day

It’s pranksters’ favourite day of the year. April Fool’s Day! Did you get anyone? Did anyone get you? I was going to go full Jim from The Office and put John Ongaro’s stapler in Jell-O but I figured he’d probably just be happy to get a free snack so I bailed.

I’ve got a buddy by the name of Nay Nay who thrives on pranks. I was staying at his place in Vancouver one April Fool’s Day and he broke out all the classics on me. He loaded my toothbrush with salt. He also put something on my deodorant to make my armpits burn. And how about this: He put saran wrap over the toilet! How dedicated to April Fool’s Day do you have to be to put saran wrap over your OWN toilet! I spotted it from a mile away, so that was good. What I didn’t spot right away were the eggs he put in my shoes. That’s right, he put eggs in the toes of my shoes! Fortunately I gingerly put my first foot in and felt that bad boy before disaster struck. I found his pranks pretty funny, although if the eggs had cracked, I probably wouldn’t have found it as humorous. Nay Nay is still up to his tricks. This year he’s got all kinds going on. His mother is getting a new oven, so he made a fake mouse and stashed it behind the old one to scare her and the delivery guy. I’m glad my friends have never grown up.

Have you ever pulled a prank or had any pulled on you? Let me know in the comments!
