10 April Fools Pranks to Get Your Kids Back for Never Going to Sleep. Ever.

Sophie White

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.

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…
