April Fool's!

April Fool's is a big day at our house. The kids and I had a blast yesterday with a fake cat poop gag. Ya see, we have an overabundance of cats in our hood and we used the cat poop fatigue felt by our neighbors to further our devious purpose. With our plastic mounds in pocket, we set off to prank the unsuspecting residents that live on our court.

We put the piles in the middle of walkways in cherished garden beds on doorsteps and even on the hoods of a few pampered vehicles. It was a big success which resulted in just about every neighbor sighing and muttering under their breath with disgust as we solemnly pointed out the offensive piles. In theory, we were just strolling by and found it our civic duty to alert the home owner to the foul blight on their property. Noses wrinkled and annoyance surfaced until we ended our prank with one of the kids flinging a pile in their general direction. Each neighbor ducked or dodged the projectile poop with a look of sheer horror but just as quickly grinned and began laughing at their own gullibility.

Good times! The kids were absolutely gleeful as we repeated the prank over and over with each neighbor, down the street and around the court. Everyone seemed genuinely relieved that the piles were in fact plastic and not an actual steaming mound on the hood of their car or in their garden bed.
