A few years ago I had my (then) 8 year old daughter and her friend running round the streets looking for an escaped elephant, doubt she’ll fall for that again!

A few years ago one of the newspapers pushed the story that due to Brexit old people were going to be conscripted to pick fruit. I managed to convince my parents that they were going to be conscripted to pick fruit. Which given that they are generally in favour of conscription was surprising that they were not in favour of this.....

Why not sit them all down and tell them you've met someone else, fallen in love and you're leaving?
Ten minutes - April Fools!

Bit strong?

Was considering moving my wife's car down the road somewhere in the morning as I'm always up silly early. But not sure I'm brave enough 🤣

Tell your daughter she's adapted but it's really her "mum" she needs to talk to for details as you were still with you 2nd wife at that point and hadn't yet met her "mum".

Make sure to do this just before you head out on the bike or go shopping, by yourself of course.

Probably best to turn off your mobile whilst you are out.

Be very vocal about the fact that this year you've got the prank of all pranks lined up and they'll never see it coming.  Chuckle knowingly to yourself every time you walk past them.

On April 1st, do nothing.

Tell them that it is Spring and the weather will be lovely so they can make lots of plans for outdoor things.

They will be reminded of this prank all Spring, Summer and on into the Autumn...

Your daughter is probably too young to know about this legendary rumour.

The 4 legged chickens KFC are developing.

I'll be asking for parent volunteers so that the cub scouts can practice for their hairdressing badge

Love the moving the wife’s car one.

Not sure if she will see the funny side but my boys would.

Better than just moving the car, see if you can find someone with the same, or similar, model and then park that on the drive in place of yours. Prepare to look perplexed when the plipper won't open it and she can't get in.

I’ve told my kids it’s already the afternoon and they’ve missed their chance.
