Saran Wrap

Saran Wrap was the item of the day. It was stretched tightly across the toilet seats (yes, plural, and more times than once). It seems obvious that one would notice Saran Wrap on a seat, but really, if you pull it tightly enough and then put the seats down on top of it, it is difficult to see. Add to that low lighting and you are in for one big mess.

Always a fun day, April Fool's.

About halfway through the day, Gable and I came home to a teenager dressed in a suit and tie on the front porch. He lured us inside with promises of 'great magic' and 'giant magic'. Every time he said the buzz word, 'magic', a little voice from beyond a curtain piped, 'It's magically delicious!' This teenager, who spoke with the voice of a used car salesman, told us that in order to enter the magic land, we had to run, not walk, through the sheet that was stretched over the opening of the doorway. Of course, as we ran through the sheet, we bounced back because of the copious amounts of Saran Wrap that was taped (excessively) behind it.

Those boys better plan on buying their mama a new box of that stuff....

There are always a few speeches throughout April 1 as to what constitutes an appropriate April Fool's prank and what is just plain mean. With three boys (four) around, we have the occasional prank that is just mean. Shocking, I know.

Take for example the prank that one older brother played on one younger brother. He told him that he could have his Nintendo DS and all of his games. Younger brother was beside himself with glee. April Fool's was declared and little boy was so mad/sad/disappointed that it got ugly.

No fun.

All I have to say is that I for one am tired of going into the bathroom only to have a big, huge, wet mess on myself, my clothes, and the floor.

I am also tired of turning on the kitchen sink just to be drenched with the sprayer that has been taped or rubber banded to the 'on' position. As soon as I hit the handle, the sprayer, which is conveniently aimed right at me, douses me, and I realize that I have been bamboozled once again. Same prank, same day.

These boys are so going to pay. Game. On.
