If so.... what are you planning for this year? I'm not big on practical jokes, but I do love hearing about other people's stories!

I love it! I haven't done one in a while, but one of my sisters and I always try to get each other. I'm afraid no one else will get the humor in our jokes, so I won't post anything about them.

@Jennimac: You can post it on my wall if you don't want to share with everybody

Oh I tell you guys one of them..She called me one year and told me that my husband (then boyfriend) had a profile up on an escort page and one of her friends saw it. She was like, "I'm sorry to tell you this, but I saw your husband's profile. I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't see it with my own eyes. He is into some kinky, crazy stuff and I don't know if you should be alone with him." I completely threw her off by responding, "Why do you think we are together? I'm the one that introduced him to that kind of stuff." Things like that...we have a weird sense of humor.

We may tell everyone that we're spelling our future son (due in a month), Cooper's, name "Kupr". We have gullible people in our lives, so I can see a couple falling for it and freaking out.

@Jennimac: Lol, you're quick to answer her! Did you know it was a joke?
@marriedandlovingit: That's awesome. My mom believes everything, so it's easy to get her too. My husband always tells her all sorts of silly things that she believes.

@artbee: HAHA. I'm too ashamed to write them on public space!

@artbee: well, i will never admit this to her, but I did feel a drop in my stomach when she started telling me and then i was like, "Wait...she's calling me in the middle of the day and oh, wait, it''s April 1st." It did get me a second. If she had just said something and stopped talking, I wouldn't have been able to come up with something.

I never had the guts to do it but I always wanted to put a sign up at all of our copiers at work and tell them that we installed a new voice activated copying and scanning feature. Then sit back and watch people say 'Copy' and 'Scan.'

I don't like practical jokes - I get embarrassed too easily and just feel stupid. Like really stupid. I also can't stand those prank calls they have on the radio. I should work through these issues!

I haaaaaaate practical jokes. I'm the most gullible person out there, I always fall prey to them. Thankfully, my husband isn't a big joker. I have to stay off the Internet or I get scammed into thinking LOST is coming back to TV. That might or might not have happened last year thanks to my cousin's blog..

@bluestriped bee: That would be so funny! Do you work with anybody else that you could share that with who would actually do it?
@cupcakemama: I'm extremely gullible, so I'm used to feeling stupid.
@mediagirl: I'm gullible too, and my husband loves to take advantage of that. But now he's become the little boy who called wolf, I never ever believe him. The other day we saw his old neighbor from when he was a kid, and he told me he remembered that his middle name was Pancake. I told him to stop lying, and he looked it up online. His middle name is indeed Pancake.

April Fools' Day was not a big deal in our house. I was born on 3/31, 3 days after Three Mile Island nuclear facility had a near melt-down. On April 1st, my mom's nurse came into her hospital room and told her that the hydrogen bubble at the plant had burst, and the hospital was clearing out - everyone was leaving. Then she left. There's my mom, a new mom with a 24-hour-old infant, totally freaking out. The nurse came back a few minutes later and said "April Fools!" My mom was mad, but let it go. She is clearly a much nicer person than I am, cuz I would hve had that nurse's butt fired.
Needless to say, my mom has never really embraced the holiday!
