April Fools Day!!

How about sharing any past pranks that you fell for..........

About 10 years ago, the phone rang around 9 p.m. - it was my son. He and his "insignificant other" at the time, and 2 grandkids had gone to the mall. Said he needed me to come pick them up, as another car had cut them off in front of the mall - he swerved to avoid it - and rolled his SUV - no one was hurt, but his vehicle was not drivable. I was shaking - I was so upset!!!! Then all 4 of them went into gales of laughter knowing that they had put one over on me!

I was really p.o.'ed at him - not at all funny at the time, but I can laugh about it now. Needless to say, my guard is up with him every April 1st after that!

The most outlandish Aprils Joke for me was a front page Article appearing in the Birmingham News when I was a Kid.

For many years, that I could remember, there had been talk of building a tunnel through Red Mountain to cut down on traffic problems and make the morning drive from "over the Mountain" burbs fast.

The Morning Headlines Read, "Red Mountain Tunnels Opens Today" this was almost a full page article complete with pictures of the Tunnel entrance on one side. There was a detail article on how two teams of tunnel builders had been building this tunnel, for the past few years, working from the middle out to , what would be the entrances, at the ends. One tunnel entrance was near downtown Birmingham and the other in Homewood several thousand feet away. The article was very believable until the last word of the story, APRIL FOOL. They hide the "April Fool" ending by having, "article continued on page xx", at the bottom of page one.

If you play Island Paradise on FG, a horde of giant evil chickens have destroyed your island!

You see your island, ransacked, and these HUGE grey chickens, all with a patch over 1 eye, pirate style, lol. I knew it was an April Fool, though it sure is stunning initially! AND it took me almost a full minute to figure out how to chase the birds off to someone else's island and restore order to my island, ha ha haaa.

I'm not a fan of April Fools. I don't like it. I am very much on guard on this day and will not believe anything anyone tells me or I read or see. I always just want this day to hurry up and be over.
