April Fool's Joke

Rachel has been looking forward to April Fool's day for weeks. She has come up with ideas and made plans to fool someone in our house. Well, apparently she planned to pull a joke on me, but Becca gave it away and broke her little heart. She was in tears yesterday morning.

She had got out of bed in the middle of the night and stuffed her pillows in her bed so it looked like she was there. Then she had climbed in bed with Becca to sleep. Her plan was that when I went in to wake her up, she would come in behind me and scare me. Becca was angry because Rachel didn't want her help and she slammed the bedroom door really hard, waking Don up and causing me to come flying out of the bathroom thinking something was wrong - ruining the whole prank! She was devistated!

After consoling her, I came up with a prank to pull on dad. We took his work boots and dumped dry cat food down into the toes and then waited for him to put them on. When he put his first foot in he yelled, "What the heck!" He seemed kind of upset and Rachel wasn't so sure that he would take the joke. I kept mouthing to her to say "April Fool's" but she was a little scared. Finally she said it and Don started laughing. She too then started laughing. He told her that he thought the cats had thrown-up in his boots. We all got a good laugh & she went to school and told her class about it. Her teacher thought it was pretty funny. Even dad told all the guys at work about it. Good job, Rae!!!!
