I am a BIG believer in Karma — put it out there, you'll get it back and all that jazz — whatever, it's just a simple way of keeping my good vs. less than gooder side in check.
Unless, it's April Fool's Day and, well, then, all bets are off.
ME: Uh, we got about 4 inches of snow last night, but schools haven't called, so you might want to change into something a little warmer.
17 yo: Are you kidding me?!?
15 yo: You mean, I shaved my legs for nothing?!?
ME: Yes, I'm kidding.
15 yo: PHEW!
17 yo: You mean, there's no school?
ME: No, I mean it didn't really snow last night!!!
[eyes go wide]
HAH, APRIL FOOLS!!!!!
Snort. Cough. Wipes eyes.
Now, I totally understand how those with younger children would probably not think this to be very funny.
I merely considered pulling this same gag on my two youngest, for a fleeting moment, but thought better of it, for fear of being thrown into a whole other sort of purgatory and, trust me, you don't want any of that.
Also, wouldn't have worked as well with those of you living in an area where, you know, it's actually snowing.
GARTH (NOT HIS REAL NAME): You might want to warm your car up, it's snowing.
[eyes go wide]
If, however, you have teenagers, Garth (not his real name) or I will be more than happy to save you a seat!

Yeah, I hear it's snowing by you, too, but mostly we have sleet here on the coast in Jersey. Either way, YUCK!

*snort* I love you so much for doing this!
I am WAY too afraid of my teen boys to attempt anything like that. I did get my 9 yr old (10 tomorrow EEEEK) with the old “You have something huge and ugly on your forehead. What IS that?!” Causing her to jump out of bed to look. But she laughed. The boys? I’d be in fear for my life. Though, I did consider trying to mess with da-hubs, Clint (totally his real name) with a fake pregnancy FB post. But it wouldn’t be funny when he never came back home. And? I did that once just under 11 years ago and well…joke was on me! (We named her Gabby.)

Crap. Gabby is 10? That means my baby isn’t far behind.
What I totally meant to say is that I HATE April Fool’s Day. I’m not much of a jokester. Thank goodness that my kids inherited that from me.

I’m still trying to come up with a good prank for my son. He’s sneaky, so it has to be really good. Love that your daughter was more concerned about her gratuitous leg shaving.
