![]() ![]() During this time I will be trying to locate my spirit fish by scuba diving in the pond behind my house. Something like, "I will be unreachable by email from Wednesday, April 1, until Saturday, Maytober 93. Log in to your parents' personal email account, and set an out-of-office message that makes them seem adorably bananas. Then walk in (and maybe film) on them faking injury on the floor. Then explain that you lied to the police officer by saying you were rushing home to help a parent who was on the floor after an accident, the officer is following you home to make sure your story is true, and that you need them to pretend they are hurt on the floor to prove your story. The Speeding PrankĪs inspired by the viral TikTok prank, call your parents on speakerphone while you’re driving and tell them you got a speeding ticket. Bringing all the best pranks in history together (again, only ones that are innocent and fun - nothing dangerous or cruel), here are 15 April Fools’ pranks for parents, because you deserve to mess with them every once in a while. And TikTok has provided a long trail of wins and fails in the April Fools' Day prank department as well. Jim and Dwight from The Office were, and still are, the kings of innocent pranks. Luckily, we all have a rich history of epic April Fools’ Day pranks to pull inspiration from. Playful pranks (nothing terrifying or life-threatening) on this one day each year are one of the best ways to return the favor. Nonetheless, April Fools’ pranks to play on your parents are about as sweet as they come - they're made for some minor, lighthearted revenge. Of course, your parents were probably just trying to keep you safe and demonstrate how much they loved you in all of these moments. Plus, if you’re helping them prank everyone else… they can’t prank you.As much as many of us love our parents, sometimes it’s fun to get a little payback for all the times your parents embarrassed you in front of your friends, told you that you couldn't play until your homework was done, overprotected you from doing something totally normal, and so on. On the morning of April 1, wake them extra early to help them find the perfect spots for each. Take your kiddo on an after school Dollar Tree run and let them buy a few cheap pranks like fake vomit and whoopee cushions. You can also hide some dye at the bottom of a cereal bowl that will begin to mix and appear as they start to eat. Put a few drops of food die under the brim of the sink faucet, so blue, green or red water runs out when someone goes to brush their teeth. Use plastic wrap to block the top of all bottles - from shampoo/conditioner to the sugar shaker next to the coffee maker. Print it out and cut to a “ticket-sized” slip of paper, then slide it under their windshield wipers. Help your kiddo write a very official-looking but sweet note to their other parent or newly driving sibling. Put tape over the remote sensor and watch Dad or a bigger sibling scramble to replace the batteries when they can’t get it to work. Similarly, consider having them flavor the creamer so it tastes like peppermint or chocolate instead of plain. Or empty out a K-cup and see if Dad notices he only made hot water, instead of coffee. Is your SO someone who sleepwalks through their breakfast routine? Help your kiddo to switch the milk and the OJ containers, so their parent pours OJ into their cereal. Watch everyone get frustrated when it won’t work. Put tape over the bottom of the mouse on the family computer. See how far you can get before they finally interrupt the process. Convince them they’re running late and don’t give them a chance to correct you. On Saturday, wake your kids for school like it’s Friday or Monday. This will ruin your chance to sleep in but might be totally worth it. ![]() Just consider giving a back-up lunch or sticking lunch money in their lunchbox, so they have a backup option. ![]() Similarly, you can smear icing on their sandwich, instead of mayo. Scrape out the filling in your kids’ Oreos and replace it with toothpaste. May the odds be ever in your favor, Mama Pranksters. The key is to have fun and (try not to) worry about the mess later. These could be as simple as the toothpaste in Oreos prank, as messy as Saran wrap on the toilet or as convoluted as, well, some of these ideas. If you have the right kind of kid, they’ll even enjoy if you play a few pranks on them. When was the last time you went all out for April Fools Day? Most kids are ecstatic at the idea of a day full of jokes and pranks, but they sometimes need a little help creating the mischief. ![]()
