Wednesdays With Wendy March 31st

Happy Easter




Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"


-Robin Williams



Hope your week is off to a good start! Wilmington is serving up perfect Spring weather so far and I believe it is here to stay! With tomorrow being April 1st it is advised to have your guard up for those would-be pranksters that are sure to be out in full force throughout the day. Some classic 'threats' to watch out for on April Fool's Day are stated below:



Short Sheet


This is a one of the oldest April Fool's Day pranks in the world! Take the top sheet off the victim’s bed, and tuck the bottom end under the top end of the mattress. Pull it down and then fold it back up so that the top end is where it would be if the bed was made normally. Replace the pillow, blanket, etc., and make up the bed like it was before. When the victim gets into bed, they’ll be surprised when they can’t slide their feet all the way down to the bottom of the bed!





Leave ‘Em Hanging


Quick and easy classic prank. Just wait until your victim is in the shower, then sneak in and grab their clothes and all the towels. (You might want to get the bath mat too!)





Confetti Shower


If it’s raining on April’s Fools Day: put some confetti into their umbrella, close it and wait for the victim to open it.





Salty Surprise


Simple: put salt on the victim’s toothbrush. Then stand by to watch the surprised look on their face.





Avalanche


For this prank, the victim’s bedroom door must open to the inside, and they need to be a sound sleeper. While the victim is inside the room, quietly tape newspaper across the door jam, covering it almost to the top. Then fill the gap between the newspaper and the door with Styrofoam peanuts, popped popcorn, crumpled newspaper, or even water balloons. When the victim opens the door, they’ll be greeted by an avalanche.





Door Ambush


This is the most classic and simple prank ever. Balance a small disposable cup of water on the top of a partially open door. Then wait for the splash!





Can't Catch This


Tape a dollar bill to the end of the fishing line on a fishing pole. Then hide behind a bush and wait for your victim to come along. As soon as they reach for the money, reel in the line a few inches. Keep reeling until they realize they’re being had.





Rude Awakening


Sneak up on your victim while they are sleeping and put some shaving cream in their hand. Then tickle them on the nose with a feather and watch while they give themselves a face full of foam!





All Sewed Up


Sew someone’s coat cuffs together so they can’t get their hands through. Or go through their underwear drawer and sew the legs of all their underwear closed (if you use a sewing machine, this doesn't take too long!).





Clumsy


Make your own “spilled coffee” prank. Just fill a cup with brown paint, tip it over onto waxed paper and let it flow into a puddle. Let it dry and then peel off the paper.




It is always better starting your day with these in mind so you know what to watch out for. Remember these are classic pranks- time tested and fool proof. Have a great rest of your week and thanks for stopping by!
