We all love our kids more than anything in the world, but for one day of the year it’s nice to have a little sneaky revenge on their never sleeping, constant screaming of our names, refusal to eat whatever it is that is on offer until it is taken away and no longer available.
That day, my friends, is upon us. Tomorrow – drum roll – is April Fools’ Day. The day that parents can get their own back on their ungrateful spawn.
10 April Fools to Get Your Kids Back for Never Going to Sleep. Ever.
1. Shockingly Cruel
Dip skewered onions in toffee to make candied onions.
2. Egg-cellent Fake
Trick them with a tinned apricot and dollop of yoghurt masquerading as a fried egg. *Evil Laugh*
3. Revenge is sweet
Tell them you made brownies then serve them THIS. Mwahahahahahah!
4. Bad Juju-uice
Set jelly mix in small glasses with a straw. Suck on that kids!
5. Banjaxed Banana
Use a pin to slice a still-peeled banana, then laugh your ass off at their faces when they peel it and banana goes everywhere.
6. Oh-No Oreos
Scrape out the cream filling of Oreos (and enjoy it yourself) then replace it with toothpaste.
7. I Scream, you scream
They’ll scream when they taste this ice cream sundae made with scoops of mashed potato and gravy instead of ice cream and chocolate sauce.
8. Too Far?
Pretend your dinner smells funny and trick them into checking their own, when they do, stick their faces in it. This maybe slightly over the top…
9. Seriously Too Far
Not even I would do this one, tempting though it is…
10. The Lazy Parent’s Prank
If all this smacks of too much effort, just draw on them while they sleep.
