Your shoe is untied.

April Fools' Day is tomorrow! Are you ready?

April Fools jokes should be funny. Not mean. Here are some ideas:

• Change all the clocks in the house by two hours.
• When someone calls your house, instead of answering the phone with "hello?", say "Hello! Is Bob there?"
• Get access to someone's computer and take a snapshot of their entire desktop. You can do this with the 'print screen' key on the keyboard. Minimize all of their desktop icons and use the pic you just took as the NEW desktop background. Their pointer will still work but they won't be able to click on anything. I wish I could do this to my husband. I would LOVE to see his reaction.
• Or, take a screenshot of the desktop screen, turn the picture upside down, and save it as wallpaper.

That's funny.

• Have a pregnant friend take a pregnancy test, show your husband and tell him you are pregnant. (could be considered mean.)
• Men, get a positive pregnancy test from a pregnant woman, and tell your wife that you are a freak of nature and are pregnant. If you do this, you must guest blog it here on Bossy.
• Tell your kids that your city voted for All Year School with no vacations. You could even print up a fake letter "that came in the mail today" to show them.
• I read about a woman whose mother, late at night on March 31, went around to her sleeping children and carried them into each other's rooms so they woke up in the wrong room. I might try this one. My kids would love it.
• Use a post-it note placed underneath a computer mouse - ensure that it covers the ball or the optical sensor on the bottom. When someone goes to use the mouse, it won't work. On the post-it, write "April Fools!"
• Here's a great one for your spouse in the morning.
• And my personal favorite: "Your shoe is untied." I will be using this all day tomorrow. If you are going to be seeing me, wear loafers. You'll fall for it anyway.
  
  

For some entertainment, here's a (very detailed) record of well-known April Fools pranks. It is long but interesting.
