Kitty LOVES April Fool's Day. She begins planning her pranks months in advance. This forces me to do the same. She was locked and loaded this year and had surprises lurking around the house all day long. Her first prank was on Michael when she set up her ball launcher in the bathroom. His morning routine was disrupted by 4 foam balls flying unexpectedly in his direction. Michael didn't admit to it but I'm certain the fright made him pee in his pants.
My first startle also came when I stumbled into my bathroom first thing in the morning. I was greeted by a giant spider in the sink. It was alarming and disgusting. Kitty spent hours making the creature with her 3D pen. That's how committed she is to this holiday. She apologized a few times that the spider only had 6 legs and explained that she ran out of time and steam to make it anatomically accurate. It was plenty revolting with only 6 legs.
I gave Kitty her first prank by waking her up and telling her we'd bought her a new pet. She excitedly exclaimed, "Is it a snake?"
Not even close.
It was a bunny. A very happy bunny.
There were plenty of other tricks throughout the day. Things like rubber noodles in my slippers.
And a robotic lizard skittering out from beneath the shoe bin.
And a bloody Band-Aid with the claim Kitty had been seriously injured and might need stitches. I was actually convinced for a moment on that one.
And bug ice cubes in Michael's water.
And copious amounts of lime juice added to his soda.
Kitty also had a device that made a cricket noise, which she hid in the piano bench. Michael searched high and low for the cricket in our house, wondering how in the world a cricket had entered the premises. That one was the most effective prank of all.
I returned the love to Kitty with dyed toilet water.
And her tiger on the toilet to startle her when she walked into the bathroom.
And insects in her bed. That one actually frightened her. I didn't realize she's scared of bugs. Sorry.
It was a prank-filled day indeed. I'm glad Kitty has such a great sense of fun and humor. She keeps me from turning into an old hag. (Mostly)
Happy April Fool's Day, ya fool!
