It’s April Fool’s Day! Today on the blog hop, we’re sharing the best prank we’ve ever heard about (or done).

My mom is quite the prankster. It’s never anything cruel, but she delights in tricking people.

When I was a kid, a local dress shop went out of business and sold all their store fixtures. Unbeknownst to the rest of the family, my mom bought a mannequin and smuggled it home.

At the time we were living in a rural area on a small hobby farm. I came down from my bedroom one day and my mom asked me to call her friend inside for coffee. “She’s standing by the duck pond,” my mom said.

I opened the front door and called out. The woman didn’t move. “Maybe she didn’t hear you,” my mom said. “Go closer.”

I was embarrassing close to the mannequin before I realized mom’s “friend” was made of plastic!

Radio stations are well known for pulling pranks. And even though I worked for one for more than thirty years, I am just gullible enough to fall for it. Every. Single. Year.

The best I remember was a prank that didn’t happen. Mr. PG is our city mascot. He is 8 metres (26 feet) tall and stands at the intersection of two main highways. According to the radio announcer, someone had “kidnapped” Mr. PG. It seemed an incredibly audacious prank—until I drove past the site and saw he was still there! The prank had been the announcement itself!

What about you? Any good pranks in your history? I’d love to hear about them.

I enjoyed reading about your mom's mannequin prank; it sounds like something straight out of a movie! I appreciate how you highlighted the good-natured fun of the prank without any cruelty. It’s refreshing to hear about lighthearted pranks that bring laughter.

I also found it amusing that you, despite working in radio for so long, still fall for April Fool’s jokes! The story about the Mr. PG prank was particularly clever. Thank you for sharing these fun anecdotes and reminding us to enjoy a bit of levity, especially around April Fool's Day
