Practical jokes

I am gearing up for April Fool's.

I'm absolutely awful, but I put some incredibly ugly slippers in my mom's purse.

You could not leave a purse that there wouldn't be maxipads and tampons jumping out of it when you were paying at the counter. Hell, I had salt and pepper shakers jump out on me.

She has a surprise waiting for her .

Six kids trying to outdo each other. Saran wrap over the toilet bowl. Switch the salt and the sugar. Put a cup of water on top of an almost closed door. Put a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer so the next person gets soaked when they turned on the faucet.
When we left for school, my mother would go around switching everybody's tricks. Once, when teaching second grade, I wrote all the boardwork backwards.

It is quite a bit of fun to try to pull one over on the students. Some of them have been overseas though and they are aware of what it is so it is difficult when that happens.
