Okay Peeps, lay some jokes on me... There's nothing like April Fools to entertain a 6 & 7 year old. Here's my menu for tomorrow:
1.) While they are sleeping tonight, change off their PJ's, bed sheets & spreads so boy is in girl's and girl is in boy's. This was smooth going last year and they had a good crack up about it, so we'll try it again.
2.) Instead of their breakfast "yogurt", they'll be presented with frozen chocolate yogurt. Still working on something gross like green toast or something scary.
3.) Gummy worms in their lunch sandwiches.
That's all I have so far. Anyone have some good pranks to play on their kids or spouse? What's on your April Fool's Menu??

Yes, Helen Hunt and I really are twins. She just doesn't know it.
Welcome to Psych City
Hello & Welcome...
I'm an aspiring writer with a full time job as a psychotherapist and mother of two tow-head elementary school kids. Did I forget to mention I am also full time employed as Chief Cook and Laundry Engineer? Although these roles leave me scant moments to write, I steal them when I can in hopes that 20 years from now I will have an archive to draw from. However, I submit and submit just in case someone wants me sooner.
I work at an inpatient psychiatric facility which often serves as both inspiration and fortitude in my journey as a writer. I also have a private practice where I see less severely suicidal or psychotic patients - more towards the functionally neurotic group in which most of us fall. In either setting, I am never ceased to be amazed at the willingness to start fresh in the face of pain, the resilience of people and the place that we all come from - love.
And so here we are in my blog at PsychCity, USA, where I hope we can create a forum to find our creative spirit and kick start our writing pens, or just plain let off some steam.

You are eeeevil! (And, I love it!)
You've given me something to think about. Only realized just now it's April Fools tomorrow. How pathetic is that?
(OK. As a kid one 4/1, I switched out the salt and sugar in their shakers on the table. My dad ended up sugaring his eggs and my mom salting her coffee. These days, that's a committable offense!)
I'll probably tell my sister I'm pregnant.
My husband's had a vasectomy; she desperately wants more kids (she has two year old twins and wants more... talk about committable), and since I don't usually joke about it, she might believe me.
And I'll probably tell my mom I'm converting to a right-wing conservative church. It'll give her a heart attack....
Doreen- that is quite an offense. Especially if you messed with my Starbucks Latte. :-) Now you, the Queen, must surely think up something wonderful for your spouse and critters.
Aerin, that's always a fun one to see people's reactions to pregnancy... And yes, your sister must be sleep deprived and therefore not thinking rationally. :-) My limit is two and I'm on the brink of insanity as it is.
My cousin had two kids under 3, wife got pg with twins and now they have 4 under 4. I think about my tubal and say thanks to the gods that I spent the $4 G on it. That could not be my life.
Okay, this is feeling like halloween. Scary stuff. Back to the jokes. :-)
Oh, my latest plan, I'm sticking two bricks in DH's bag tomorrow morning. He'll be wondering why he's lugging around that heavy thing. See if he notices... hahaha! (Great, I'll probably be stuck with massage duty... maybe need to rethink this.)
One of my favorites was when in junior high a friend put a rubber band around that spray nozzle on the kitchen faucet. His mom turned on the water in the morning, and the spray nozzle was pointed right at her.
I like the bricks in the bag gag. Innocent yet effective.
I'm a joke lurker. A jurker, really.
These are good though!
:-)
Pete, I'll have to try that one day although I don't want to be the one cleaning up!
Chris, you are a joker at heart. I'm surprised with two boys they don't joke you out. :-)
Well, it was a day of fun. DH loved the brick prank and it was the best seeing my son in a sleeping beauty shift and daughter in Red Sox PJ's.
'til next year...
