RSS#1GF!’s April Fools’ Payback
I have to admit that I was feeling pretty good that so many people got sucked in by yesterday’s farewell prank, but take comfort that there is justice in the world.
When I was young, I put a rubber band around the spray attachment on my parents’ kitchen sink and got a good laugh when my unsuspecting father ruined a good tie when he turned on the water. In the 20 years since then, I’ve pulled that trick out every few years on April Fools’.
This year, #1GF! busted out my trick, so when I emerged from the computer cave at lunch time and turned on the water, a stream of water shot past me and soaked the other side of the kitchen. Rather than take the rubber band off, I left it in place in hopes that #1GF! would forget about it and inadvertently soak herself with her own prank when she got home.
When #1GF! got home, I had forgotten that I was trying to prank the prankster, and I absent- mindedly turned on the water while standing in front of the sink. Not only did my double cross fail in epic proportions, but #1GF! got the bonus of seeing her prank in action.
You can thank her for serving me a cold plate of justice.

The last April Fool’s Joke I ever did was on my Mom nineteen years ago. I was about as pregnant as you can get (approximately three weeks to giving birth) when I phoned my Mom to tell her I was heading to the hospital to have my baby. Instead of being excited she nearly fainted since my “surprise” baby shower was scheduled for the next day. She just kept sreaming “No, No, No You don’t” As if I had the will to hold it in or something. The wrath of that joke lasted many years so I never did another … but now that I got sucked into your lies of joining corporate America … I just might have to rethink the April Fools Joke fun. Double Kudos to #1GF for the water spray trick … awesome.

@Joyce: That’s a bigger way prank than what I got. The only reason that she got me is because I have zero memory left. It’s like pranking someone with Alzheimer’s.
@macoosh: If you steal her and make some sort of quaint house for yourselves, I am going to be very unhappy with you. She does rock though. Please don’t turn her gay on me.
@Mustachio: I shall not compliment anything pink. It’s in the man rulebook.
