"No. Didn't you do it?" "I thought you did packed it!"<br />The look on the 17yo lover-of-the-indoors was priceless. We rapidly confessed and all 3 of us had a good laugh. The 13yo outdoorsboy was actually disappointed over the lack of adventure.

She published a copy of it on the internet so we could all laugh along with her. I thought that was pretty mean too. In general, blogging pranks are pretty stupid, with the exception of Green Girl in Wisconsin's yesterday, which was funny and not mean.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-81261730148532010002013-04-02T13:15:44.642-04:002013-04-02T13:15:44.642-04:00I'm with you - the planned pranks always seem ...I'm with you - the planned pranks always seem mean to me.

She told me she was at the bar down the street with her sister. I was like OMG! Thinking I needed to rush over to comfort her and the she told me April Fools! <br /><br />I really have to wonder about someone who can lie so well. She even got a sob in there.

Sorry. Deliberately setting up a small child so you can photograph it for your blog is just mean. I hate April Fools Day. Except for the occasional very clever, non-embarrassing joke. They're rare. NPR had one about military dolphins yesterday.
