Five Original Pranks for the First of April
The details concerning the history of April's Fool's Day are relatively unknown. What is known is that people love pulling pranks on April's Fools Day, especially children. Yet who is to say that pranks are just for kids, are you a parent longing to pull an April Fool's prank on your kids but are short on ideas? Before your kids strike with an ingenious April Fool's Day prank, parents strike first and this article tells you how. Here are five, relatively harmless, pranks parents can play on their kids (8 to 12 years of age) on April Fool's Day.#1 Exchange Program
On April Fool's Day tell your kid(s) that you are thinking of letting them participate in an exchange program and that you want their thoughts? However, there is a twist, they will not be going anyplace overseas like Paris, Spain, Ireland, or Japan. The exchange program takes place in the United States, children from small rural areas living without indoor plumbing, running water, and electricity will get a chance to live with a family who can afford those things. In exchange, your child will live in that type of small rural environment, learning valuable lessons and the hardships this type of living takes for six weeks during the summer. It will make them a better human being. To really sell this prank, have some pamphlets or an official looking letter on hand.
#2 Age Limit on Learning how To Drive has Dropped
You are reading the newspaper on April Fool's Day, you are shocked and appalled that your state has seen fit to lower the limit in which children can learn how to drive. The age limit now, 10 years old or your child(s) age. What is the reasoning behind this? Research has shown that kids who learn new skills at an earlier age are able to master them quicker, thereby lowering teen driving accidents by 50% percent. After expressing your outrage, reluctantly give in, saying, " I guess I should start teaching you to drive today. Not, April's Fool. "

hahahahaah you probvably dont know me, but I want to date you.
Too funny - my kids would freak out over the last one LOL We did set their clocks ahead 4 hours while they slept but I'm afraid they are getting too old and wise to fall for much else. Of course the old "oh man, is that a pimple?" will work on teens any day of the week :-)
Completely the best! I want to try them all, RIGHT NOW!!! My son's 13 and oh how I cannot wait to do these!
What are you talking about? We ARE spies. Always have been. -- Nice. I think I might have to pull a variation of the newspaper trick at work.
What fun! I love your sense of humor and style. Great article and hilarious suggestions!
I love the exchange student idea! I'll have to get Mom and Grandpa in on this one to fool our ungrateful grandchildren! As for eating without utensils, they do that already whenever they can get away with it.....Maybe I'll tell them plates are off limits and let them figure that one out.
