April fools is probably my most favorite underrated holiday ever. I am all about that Prank Life - but nice pranks! Fun fact, my mom went into labor with me on April Fools day and no one believed her. I was born the next morning. You could say it's part of who I am. Every year I have my usual pranks I inflict on my family, as well as new ones I've spent the rest of the year plotting. If you're anything like me, you are always in need of fresh material. So, at the expense of my family I thought we'd do a little walk down memory lane of my favorite pranks from the past few years. 

1. The classic, "go-to" Whitney prank is taping the water hose on the faucet and sitting back while unsuspecting subjects get sprayed. Full disclosure: I tell my mom I'm doing this prank EVERY YEAR and EVERY YEAR she falls victim multiple times. I apologize in advance, mom. Here's a few videos I managed to dig up from past years. 

2. One year I sewed my brother into his sheets while he took a nap. (He was like 16 at the time)

3. Beef bouillon cube in the shower head.

4. Another classic is decorating my dad's office in tasteful knick knacks discovered at DI. (He hates clowns.) My Dad may also have one of the largest collections of fine art paintings done on velvet. For whatever reason, I have managed to hunt down and find tons of velvet paintings - I have no idea who did them, but they all have the same frame. Below is a clip from one of my better decorating attempts. I was 4 days away from my due date and had a confidant at my Dad's office who let me in the building early and helped stall while Danny and I created our masterpiece.

5. Last year I wrote "just married" all over my brother's car. He was dating his now wife and they were supposed to go to her folks later that day. They ended up taking her car. haha. 

6. My family and I are pretty die hard Dunkin' Donuts fans. One year we picked up a box as an "apology" for soaking everyone that morning to bring over. (I'm still pretty proud of this one.) Only 3 or 4 donuts were "tainted" out of the dozen. We didn't pass them out, we just let each family member pick and then we ate some too. My dad HATES pickles, so we bought some tiny pickles and shoved them in the cream hole of two Boston Cremes (Dad's favorite.) We also got more than one Boston Creme since that's my favorite as well as others in the family. A few other donuts were infused with hot sauce. We didn't contaminate any of the "kid donuts" - aka sprinkle ones, because we aren't that heartless. Using my in depth knowledge of my family I managed to place the contaminated donuts in the box where I thought certain family members would reach for. It was a success. My dad grabbed the pickle donut, and my brothers grabbed the hot sauce ones. Robert played his off so cool that I thought I had missed the mark on his, but instead acted like he didn't want his donut and gave it to Kenny who had already inhaled his. Kenny was so upset that I would even think to ruin a donut like that! I managed to catch his reaction on video. 

7. Flour in the blow dryer or after they've turned off the water in the shower. 

8. Danny and I drove the kids to school one April Fools day and all three of them made it to their classroom with "kick me" on their backs. 

9. Last year was probably the best April Fools since it was also Easter! Danny and I dipped a hard boiled egg in chocolate and then put it in a box of marshmallow eggs. My poor mom got the bad end of that one. 

10. Every year for Easter Danny and I have an Easter Egg hunt for the kids - last year's April Fools Easter had a "big kid" section and a "little kid" section. Like 70% of the eggs in the big kid section were filled with rocks or trash.

11. Sew the fly shut on hubby's underwear

12. Messing with auto correct. For example; my mom would type in "hey" and it would auto correct to, "I smell weird." 

13. My sister stayed up late one year and cut out different sized Nicholas Cage heads and taped them all over the house. We were finding them weeks later. 

14. food coloring on tooth brushes

15. If you "write" on a banana with a toothpick it will brown in whatever shape or design you draw. My siblings have gone to school and sat down to lunch countless times to find, "poop" written on their banana. 

16. Change your name in someone's contact list. Danny was, "Jesus Christ" in my grandma's phone for soooo long before she figured out it was him! He'd call every so often and then joke that she "missed a call from Jesus!"

17. Dye the milk with food coloring.

18. One year I recreated a decorative plate that said "Jones" on it that my Aunt had given to my mom. We hid the original and pre broke the new one. Since it was a plastic charger plate we were able to prop it back up on it's stand and from far away you couldn't see the cracks. Danny started a game of catch with my little bros and "missed" a ball, knocking it to the floor where it shattered. Only Danny and I were in on it, so it got my brothers and my mom good!

19. Serve dinner in random kitchen items like a muffin tray, tongs for forks, etc. 

20. Coat the entire bar of soap in clear nail polish so it doesn't lather. (Did this to Danny and I's first April Fools together married.)

And those are the top 20 that I can think of! If you follow me on Instagram, I'll be posting today's festivities in my stories. You can also use the hashtag #whitneysatitagain to follow along and see previous year's pranks. Happy April Fools!
