Gotcha!...Sort of

Happy April Fools Day, everybody! I hope all you pranksters out there have had a blast playing pranks today. I know people that LIVE for this day. All their energy goes into making it better than the year before. I wasn't planning on doing anything to anybody, but yesterday I decided on a last-minute trick for my husband.

I decided that I wanted to get him in some way, so being the trickster that I am, I got home from work before him yesterday and switched all the cereal bags into different boxes. So if he grabbed for the Lucky Charms he would pour Honey Bunches of Oats into his bowl. Or the Cinnamon Toast Crunch would actually be Honey Nut Cheerios. Genius idea. Tyson and I got up around 7:15 this morning and I got to the kitchen before him. Then it dawned on me that he quite possibly could want something besides cereal for breakfast, like grapefruit. I hadn't thought of that! So of course I'm trying to sway his cravings toward cereal by saying things like, "What kind of cereal would you like?" or "Gosh, Shredded Wheat sounds awesome this morning." Lucky for me he wanted Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Perfect. This was going to be great. My plan was working. As he grabbed for the box and opened it, I was standing behind him beaming like a seven-year-old about to mess with the four-year-old brother. I'm grinning from ear to ear as Honey Nut Cheerios came spilling from the box and into his bowl. While he looked into the box and at his cereal all sorts of confused I jumped up saying, "April Fools! I tricked you!" In response he said, "Oh, you really got me."

I could tell he was just trying to be nice, it really was kind of a lame trick ha ha. But it was pretty funny to watch Tyson look so confused for a minute. That's about as much of a trickster I am! All in all I was pretty proud of myself for playing a joke on Tyson today.
