   1 Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Now the only thing that can console her is if you put your womb to work.

   2 It would be a bad prank to pull on my mom ’cause the woman would *either* drop dead of a heart attack *OR* say something like: “For God’s sake Catherine! You think I’m dumb enough to fall for that?” I agree with Anne though, the only way to get back into *your* mother’s good graces is to give the woman a grandchild. Uh yeah…good luck with that one.

   3 Oh, that’s horrible. And freaking HILARIOUS! My mom would kill me if I play something like that on her. Better get started on making it up to her.

   4 Author Comment That’s even worse than the time I threw my mom’s favorite vase at my sister and her scalp burst open. And she had to get stitches. True story. It was Fight Club all the time in our house, growing up.

   5 Ha! It’s kind of the opposite here. I really am pregnant and picked today to tell a couple of my friends because I knew they wouldn’t believe me. The April Non-Fool. It’s pretty hilarious; they keep saying “Give it UP, quit messing with us.” =)

   6 If I told my mom I was pregnant, she would dance a jib. My daughter is finally getting some! LOL

   7 Some one I worked with wanted to play a prank on her husband and I was pregnant at the time and offered to pee on a stick for her. She thought it would be funny but decided against it because she didn’t want to give her husband a heart attack.

   8 See, I’m such a wuss, I don’t like practical jokes ’cause I always think how angry/upset/sad people will get when it comes out. And it’s only funny if it comes out, right?

   9 Ooooh….ouch. Fucking hilarious from over here, but from your and your mom’s end, ouch. If I told my mom I was preggers again, the pregnancy itself wouldn’t surprise her too much. (Three kids, she’s written me off as a breeder.) But I might have some delicate questions to answer about paternity. Hubby got snipped.

    10 Now on the reverse side…several years ago…okay two…my daughter’s too old for her boyfriend decided to tell us this same joke on April Fool’s Day. Followed closely by…we are only kidding. I explained to him that this would really not be a “funny joke” to tell my husband who would have killed him on the spot. If hindsight was 20/20…I would have let him tell my darling hubby and this would have stopped the real version that I had to listen to about six months later. Can we say stressful!

    11 Well, if I tried to pull the same joke on my mom, it would go the opposite way. Heart attack on the part of the good religious upright parents that their wayward daughter would fall into such sin, et cetera. Dunno if they would laugh it off too well when I said “april fools!” hrm. I am such a loser, I did no jokes at all today.

    12 My sister in law just pulled that one on me. I’m so gullible I fell for it. She wanted me to call her parents and try it on them. That might have been funny, because they don’t take everything so seriously (like I do) but…nah.

    13 You’ll go to hell for messing with your mom, Bam. And thanks for the Tagolog phrase the other day…came in handy. Darragha

    14 And to think all I did was nearly give my supervisor (in his mid-late 40’s) a stroke when I told him all of the computers crashed in the lab and made him run down the two flights of stairs to get here as quick as possible (the elivator is a dinosaur) only to run up to the lab and see all of the monitor’s up and running. I was just like “um, sorry dave, April Fool’s.” I only felt bad for a minute though, we go at each others necks quite often. He likes to change my schedule around at the last possible second. It’s very irritating.

    15 Oh, man. If the girls try this on me I’ll kill them. On the other hand, if I tried this with my mom, she’d ask why I wasn’t complaining about all of the hormones, how many times have we been to see the specialist, are we selecting for sex and were we sure a frozen embryo was such a good idea after six and a half years? For those of you that have no idea, Handsome Pants was actually conceived on the same day as the twins, frozen and thawed four years later (this sounds like a Discovery Channel special)…so he’s sort of their triplet…kinda…wow. I’m gonna have an interesting time explaining this to the three of them.

    16 Already told my mom any grandkids will come from my half-sisters. A co-worker and I came into work with our hair in two high ponytails that stick out at the sides of our heads. I wanted to go for the tights, Mary Janes, and plaid skirt, but she drew the line at that.

    17 Handsome Pants was actually conceived on the same day as the twins, frozen and thawed four years later (this sounds like a Discovery Channel special)…so he’s sort of their triplet…kinda…wow. It’s like a Heinlein plot. Well, let’s hope not.
