18. A power company prank:
"My sister, dad, and I turned all of the lights off in the house and put black tape over any digital readouts (from the microwave, stove, etc.). We lit two candles and sat at the dining room table playing cards by candlelight.
"When my mom walked in and asked what we were doing, we told her that she forgot to pay the electric bill and they came to cut the power. She was completely floored...until she flipped the dining room light switch and the light came on! We all started laughing hysterically." —christineh30
19. A citywide scandal:
20. A trick for a 10-year-old:
"I reset all the clocks in our house one hour ahead and woke our 10-year-old
up in a panic telling him he was about to miss the bus. He raced downstairs and out the door. A few minutes later he comes back in tears saying he must have missed the bus. It. Was. Awesome. And he loved then having a whole hour to watch TV before he actually had to leave for school." —jodiecoxs
21. A Matrix-level mall prank:
22. A celeb-face extravaganza:
23. A sisterly scavenger hunt:
"When I was 11, I made my sister go on a long and laborious scavenger hunt (where each clue led to a piece of paper with a letter on it) and promised a big surprise. After she was done I arranged the letters to say 'April Fools!' I thought that that was the funniest thing ever at the time." —violetpetal
