April Fools Joke


Ok, this is going to be a long post, but I had to share our April Fool's adventure. As a pre-curser to the story, about a month or two ago, my younger brother discovered a bumper sticker on his truck that said "Autism Awareness" and was quite colorful. He still to this day has no clue who put it on his truck and so we all tease him about it.  So, since then my older brother, Greg, and I keep saying that we need to put something really funny on Brett's truck like "Breast Caner Survivor" to keep the fun going. Anyway, I get home from teaching the day before April Fool's and am making dinner and get to thinking that we should have done something to Brett's truck so he would wake up and drive with it to school! Greg's wife has a vinyl machine and so I call him up and tell him he should go do something. We start brain storming and come up with a few funny ideas. By now it is around 11 pm.  Finally, we decided that we all need to get in on the fun and so Mike and I ask his parent's to listen for Jack and we jump in the car and head to my brother's house in Highland.  We come up with some really funny stuff (I am not giving it away until you see the pics) and we decide to not only hit Brett, but also our other brother Lane, and our Mom's next door neighbor who always plays jokes on us. We get it all cut and leave Greg's house around 12:30 am! 

We go to Lane's house first and it has started to lightly rain. No biggie. We only got a couple of the stickers on because his dog started barking and so we had to run. 

Next we drove to our parent's house to get Brett.  By then it had started raining a lot, but still no worry. Brett got the HUGE Playboy bunny and the Diversity Awareness sticker. We even decided to give our Dad's truck some bunnies and a lady! 


Then we went next door to get Ralph, my parent's neighbor. He owns a Landscape Company called "Triple AAA Landscaping", so we thought we would spice up the company a little.  Triple XXX with a bunch of bunnies around it and the lady silhouettes. Oh and he got a "I break for Hookers" as well.  By this point it was well after 1 am and it was FREEZING!!! It was snowing like crazy and the vinyl was starting to give us problems. It would not stick because it was soooo cold and so that took even more time! 


We thought our prank turned out pretty good, even though we lost some sleep and some feeling in our finger tips! I won't go into the stories about everyone finding their April Fool's surprise, but they were all pretty funny!
