In Honor of The Best Prank Ever

In Honor of The Best Prank Ever

If you’ve read my blog for a while you’ll know that April Fools Day is a big holiday for a prankster like me. I normally pull out all the stops on the blog to pull off some elaborate prank (this is what my blog looked like April 1 last year). However, this year I’d like to share a story with you…the story of the best prank someone ever pulled on me. That someone…was my dear wife.

A few years back Lisa and I had been talking about whether we should be done having kids. Lisa had really tough pregnancies and both of our kids were colicky and had allergy issues when they were babies. As much as we loved children we came to the realization that the two wonderful girls that God blessed us with were more than enough to keep our hands full for now.

That being said, I still hadn’t gotten around to actually taking the drastic step of having the old “snip-snip” done. We just took the necessary precautions to avoid an “oops.”

So one afternoon a friend from church came over the house to visit. This friend was several months along in her pregnancy which gave Lisa a horribly evil idea. She had her pee in a cup (I know…gross, right?) and then she hid it in our bathroom. Later that evening as we were getting ready for bed she informed me that she was late and wondered if she might be pregnant. We usually kept a pregnancy test or two lying around so I told her to go take one so we could know for sure.

Every couple does this different but our routine was that she would pee on the stick and then leave the pregnancy test on the top of the toilet and then 3 minutes later I would go in and tell her what it was. This time however, instead of her peeing on the test stick, she used the hidden stash of pregnant pee (again….ewww).

After 3 minutes I go in and instead of seeing a negative I see a strong, clear positive. I was completely caught off guard. The sleepless nights, dirty diapers and screaming babies were still too fresh in my memory. After I picked myself up off the bathroom floor I stumbled into the bedroom, put on my best face and informed Lisa that we were going to have another baby.

I was in too much shock to notice the smile Lisa was trying to hide as she watched me suffer. She swears she only let me go for a minute or two but it felt like 2 hours. She finally told me what she had done and I realized I had just fallen for the best prank ever.

I scheduled my vasectomy the very next day.

What’s the worst prank someone has ever played on you?

    God played a prank on me, I think, about a year ago. I was 10 days away from my “snip-snip” and my wife called (I was in the states for a funeral) to tell me she was pregnant. She wasn’t kidding :-) . our little Elijah is our prank…lol

    Oh, and I canceled the snippin…. The wife got snipped instead :D .

    I just can’t imagine asking anybody to pee in a cup for me… for any reason.

    Two friends of mine took me snipe hunting. I thought the whole thing was legit. They had me stand in the middle of a Kansas wheatfield holding a pillow case and a silver sequined shirt. They told me that the snipes were attracted to shiny objects. My friends proceeded to walk in a 30 yard radius around … pitch black … shooting off black cats to scare the bejeebees out of me.

    I like to take people snipe hunting now.

    The last year I played an April Fools was the year that, having young children in the house, I put Orajel on my husband’s toothbrush. After brushing his teeth, he asked if I had changed our toothpaste. Moments later, he realized his entire mouth was numb. He was numb and drooling for a good three hours….at work. So, if you ever need to know how long Orajel works before you should reapply it, he can tell you.

    Wow. The emotions of thinking of another baby. The closeness of a friend who would pee for you. Man, that’s a good one.

    Last year, my wife and her friend tipped a waitress at Cheesecake Factory to blatantly hit on my friend and I to see what we’d do when seduced in front of our wives. I caught on to it quickly, but my friend thought enough of himself and his looks to keep the glimmer of hope alive that he was, indeed, being flirted with.

    It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. :)

    Is it wrong that I took delight in his ego being crushed? ‘Cause I did…just a little bit. :)

    Oh, my. That’s funny. I found out 11 years ago TODAY that I was pregnant. I went in to tell my husband and he completely ticked me off with his “yeah, right” disbelieving attitude. Yeah, I didn’t look at the date before I took it. LOL! 9 months later, he figured out that I wasn’t lying. ;-)

    Laughing in front of my iMac. Priceless. Go Lisa! Go Lisa! [does the Charlie Brown]

    Last year my good friend (with a few NYT Best Sellers) emailed me to say that our mutual contact in LA had just landed his movie rights with a particular major production house. I was so happy for him I was announcing it during three different staff meetings, informing friends online, and calling my wife. About ten minutes later he texted me…

    …”april fools.”

    I hate April 1st. ch:

    This is exactly the trick I wanted to play on my husband, unfortunately I don’t know any women who are currently pregnant and I think a random stranger would think I was weird if I ask her to pee in a cup. GOOD ONE, Kudos to your wife!

    hahaha! That’s amazing! Go Lisa! Still, it is pretty weird to ask someone to pee in a cup for you….lol

    When I was little I thought it would be pretty funny to remove all the toilet paper from my parent’s bathroom and hide it in my little brother’s room….not the best idea I ever had. My dad decided to get me back- he covered his hand with peanut butter and made me believe that he’d had to use his hand when he discovered the missing toilet paper…he rubbed it all over my face and I totally fell for it! GROSS!
