Happy April Fools Day!

 

Happy April Fools! Or if you're my sister Melanie... Happy Birthday. But she doesn't read this, so back to the first thing. I love to laugh and I really don't take myself too seriously. I'm a huge embarrassing, awkward klutz. Whatcha goin do about it?!?! I'm always down for a good prank. In elementary school I used to supply the items and ideas and I'd convince the guys to do the pranks on our teacher. That way I never got in trouble for it. It worked for a while but the teacher caught on that there was a mastermind behind the scenes (perhaps one of the guys cracked under interrogation) and threatened to punish the person coming up with the pranks and not just the prankers.

In my first year of college it somehow came about on our floor in the dorm that it was funny to prank me. This didn't happen constantly but I had my fair share. It started with a simple turning the hot water tap on in one sink while I showered. It was a really old building so that made the shower get a little colder. Then another time they decided to turn a couple taps on at once and let them run while I showered. Pretty soon it began to escalate and there was a few more people involved and now toilets were being flushed as well. Somewhere in there one of the girls found a small bucket. And you can guess what happened with that. Filled with cold water and dumped over the top. Every time this happened I just laughed. There's no need to get upset it's all in good fun.

The last time they ever did this... I have to give them props, they got me pretty good. By now people seemed to have their roles... the toilet flushers, tap runners, bucket dumpers. But they felt something was missing. Ah yes, lets take her towels and clothes and leave her with two pieces of paper towel. The cheap stuff that's usually in public washrooms, the kind that seems to disintegrate when in contact with a drop of water. They all run off snickering and I peek out behind the curtain and notice all my stuff was gone. So I pretend it didn't happen and continue my shower.  I finish and turn off the water and the snickering from in the hallway starts up again. I wasn't about to walk down the hallway with two sheets of paper towel so I did what any MacGruber     genuis one in my position would do. I took the fairly thin shower curtain off it's hooks, wrapped it several times covering some key areas and began my nonchalant walk down the hall to by room. Man, I felt proud of myself when I heard someone behind me say "shower curtain! we didn't think of that." Course when I heard the next person say "hey! where's my camera?" I picked up my pace and walked a bit faster. I don't recall ever getting the culprits back for this one. There was too many people involved in it. And it was  a pretty good prank.

What kind of pranks have you been involved in? Either the pranker or the prankee.
