Late April Fools. What was the best prank you've played or had played on you? Share!

So, one year when I was a teenager, my family had a total heyday on April fools. My sister and I went shopping. While there, we called my mom and her my sister (who was only seventeen at the time) had hit a car in the Shopko parking lot and caused all kinds of damage. My mom thought it was funny after we yelled "April Fools" into the phone.

She played the same trick on my dad, who was at work.

Then, while we went to a $1 movie at the local mall, my dad drove over and moved the second family car we'd brought. When we came it, we could only assume someone had stolen it. It was plausible because it was a hunk of junk and the doors didn't lock, but we just couldn't fathom why anyone would want a car that barely ran.

My mom was a terrible liar, though. We could tell it was a trick by the fact that she didn't seem in the least bit upset. She finally confessed. So, before heading home, my sister and I stopped at my dad's work and shaving-creamed his car.

Meanwhile, that evening my mom put dye in the food and salt in the sugar bowl to give everyone an interesting jot at dinnertime.

We've never done anything quite so elaborate since that year, but it was definitely a memorable one! :D
