April Fool's Day Pranks Parents Can Play on Their Kids

Five Original Pranks for the First of April

This April Fool's prank is great for mothers who finds themselves on dish washing duty. State clearly that all eating utensils in your household are banned." No more silverware for us, we will be eating with our hands. It was good enough for people 100 million years ago, it will be good enough for us."

Clean out the silverware drawer, hide the plates and cups. This prank is for parents who can go the distance. No half way kind of stuff, if you do that, the prank is doomed. Start before April Fool's, and be actually willing to live without utensils for a day or two. Another downside to this prank, your kids might like eating without utensils.

#4 Family History-We Are From Another Planet or Are Spies

Kids are pretty sharp these days, but hey still relatively innocent, and willing to believe whatever their parents tell them. Many kids, whether they want to admit it or not, are curious about their family history and want their family to be unique in some way. Well, okay. Why not make your family history so special it is out of this world? So out of this world that you come from another planet? But that is only part of the prank, you will have to make up a planet, history behind the planet, how you both came to be living on Earth, why no one has found out about this planet, and willing to show the child something that is strange enough that even the sharpest, most skeptical child will start to believe your story. Again this is a prank that needs to start a day or two before April Fool's Day.

#5 Allergic To Electronic Equipment

This April Fool's Prank is for parents who can't pull their kids away from their computers, television, and cellphones. "Mommy and/or Daddy have recently found out that they are allergic to electronic equipment, something to do with the way they transmit energy, so we have no choice but to live a electronic free life, no phones, computer or anything." The allergy can be called Rigs Opals Yap, an anagram out of April Fool's Day.
