Damn it, I don't have the self control to let this go any longer-
APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!! hahahahahah. No WAY am I pregnant. I can just see the looks of horror on your faces, the rolling eyes, the gasps of "oh god, not her, oh NO!"

so ANYWAY,
I need some ideas for a good trick to play on my husband when he gets home tonight. The pregnant thing won't work because he knows I'm "on the rag".
I want to get him good! any suggestions?

Neat trick. Did you let Arsen in on the joke or does he need CPR?

He knows I can't be pregnant, I didn't even try that one on him...

So, what CAN I do to trick him?
I thought about putting saran wrap over the toilet bowl, but yuck, I don't want pee splattered all over my bathroom!

and you think half white/black babies are the cutest so if you aren't home tonight it's because you are interviewing prospective donors.

well, my wife got me this morning. i walked out into my garage this morning to find the door open and my truck missing. i was remiss in double checking our door locks just 2 nights before that, so i really stopped cold in my tracks.

yeah, it turns out that making me think the truck was stolen was A) an april fool's joke, and B) a reminder of what can happen if i forget to double check the locks.

Tell him you have congenital heart disease. That always has them rolling in the aisles.

Seriously, someone from our medical insurance company actually called my husband at work today to let him know that there were counseling services available for my congenital heart condition. He laughed at her and told her he wasn't falling for it, then called me to let me know that "my little April Fool's joke" hadn't worked, and that whoever my friend was they didn't even sound remotely like someone who worked in an insurance office. Except I did no such thing.

So now I'm wondering if it's just a simple mixup, or if someone at Blue Cross/Blue Shield is bored out of their mind and playing pranks on random people...

Does he have a co-worker that would do this? Someone that knows your name and knows what the company plan is?


staceyv,
Tell him you are bored and decided to join the neighborhood civic association. Some committee or something. There will be lots of meetings. He'll have to do more around the house by himself, because you won't be there as much. Something along those lines. You know him better than anyone, so you know what he will fall for.

Spencer woke us up at 6:02, yellling that there was a snake in the living room. Since I had seen a nasty bug right before I went to sleep, and didn't sleep well because of it, I fell for it hard. Jim was sceptical but I really didn't think the kid had it in him. Little fucker. He'll pay...
