WATER WORKS Last April Fools' Day, my sister and I wanted to get our older sister ... that is, if we could think of a trick. At our house, we have one of those spray nozzles on the garden hose. We knew she was about to wash her car, so we took a clear piece of fishing line and wrapped it around the sprayer to hold down the handle. My sister Savannah and I were watching from around the corner when she turned on the faucet. All this water sprayed out and hit my brother, who had just come out of the house! Savannah and I couldn't stop laughing. but they both were really mad at us.

Mirror, Mirror Last April Fools' Day, I put a sticky note on my parents' bathroom mirror that read, "Objects in mirror are older than they appear!" My mom and dad weren't very amused, but it gave me and my brother a good laugh.

Clothing Swap The night before April 1, I went into my brothers' rooms and switched all their clothing drawers. The next morning, they went to get dressed and were so confused! They kept opening one drawer, expecting to find socks and found pants, and so on. Even they admitted it was a good prank.

Dollar Daze My friend and I were sitting on the bleachers in the gym. A guy came by, and I yelled out, "Hey, can you grab that dollar?" The guy looked down and said, "There isn't a dollar here." So we pointed under a bleacher and were like, "No, it's right there." He got down on his hands and knees, while my friend snuck up behind him. She grabbed him and went, "April Fools'!" He jumped, and we were laughing so hard. We gave him a dollar since we got him so good.

Hairy Sitch Last year, I took off the shampoo and conditioner caps, put tape over the openings, then screwed the lids back on. No matter how hard my mom or dad squeezed, nothing came out. My family wasn't the cleanest that day.

The Blob I purposely put a blotch of red marker on my cheek. My friends told me I had something on my face, but I kept denying it. It took a long time for them to realize I was tricking them.

Thin Blue Line My friend Kaity was the first to fall asleep at a sleepover. So my friend and I got some blue paint, a paintbrush and a feather. We covered her hand in paint, then used the feather to fickle her nose. When she went to scratch the itch, she got paint all over her face! It was sooo funny.

Party Pooper One April Fools' Day, I took all the toilet paper from every bathroom in my house. My little sister was stranded on the toilet for a really long time before I finally gave in and handed her a roll

Crib Party My sister and I bought tons of balloons, then we went into my brother's room and blew them all up. We filled his entire room! He couldn't even get in until he started popping.

Shoe In While my friends and I were at a ballet lesson, I asked to be excused to the restroom, where I got a lot of paper towels. I stuffed the toe of each of their street shoes with a line bit of paper. Everyone couldn't figure out why their shoes were too small until they reached in. It was totally hilarious!

Yellow Tale My BFF's mother is a nurse at my doctor's office. When I went for my annual checkup, she told me she needed a urine sample. When I went to the bathroom, I grabbed an extra cup. I had brought a juicebox with me, and I poured some apple juice into one of the containers. When I came out of the washroom, my BFF's mom told me she only needed one sample, so I took the apple juice and drank it. She was so stunned--she thought I drank pee!

Sister Act My sister and I are twins, so we're gonna change classes for the whole day and act like each other. At the end of the day, we'll bash the truth in front of everybody. I can't wait to see my teachers' faces. They'll freak!

Juicy Joke I was in Florida with my grandparents for April Fools' Day last year. My grandpa always plays jokes on me, so I got him back. I put some orange juice half-full in a cup the night before, then stuck it in the freezer. The next morning, I took it out, poured some more orange juice in to top off the glass, then gave it to my grandfather. The look on his face when the juice stopped was priceless.

Shower Scene I went over to my friend's house, and she was in the shower. I got a cup of ice water, snuck into the bathroom and dumped it over the top of the shower curtain. She screamed, and I dashed out of the bathroom. I came back in and asked her why she was screaming. She said the shower had gone ice cold. I didn't tell her it was me until the next day.

Class Action My whole class hid in the school office until our teacher got to the classroom. After she went to get coffee, we sneaked back in. When she came back, we all yelled, "April Fools'!" She laughed so hard that she cried.

Artificial Sweetener Putting salt in the sugar bowl always works (just be sure not to have any on your cereal!).

Paper Trail I got a piece of paper and wrote, "Big Butt," on it. I put tape on the back and set it face down on my brother's desk chair. He sat and, when he got up, it was stuck to his behind. He didn't notice for like 20 minutes.

White Out Here's my favorite trick: Blow up some balloons and put a little slip of paper (write "April Fools'!" on it) inside each one along with a little bit of flour. Tell your friends there are prizes in the balloons and they have to pop them to find out what they've won. Boom! Beware of angry flour-covered people.

Drama Queen I went on a family trip to Los Angeles. I told my BFF that, when I went to Hollywood, I was stopped on the street and asked to be in the latest Reese Witherspoon movie. I said it was going to be called Lost in the Wind, taking place in Australia. She did not believe me, so I bribed my dad into saying it was true. She freaked out! It was hilarious and she asked me to get her a part in the film. I said, "Just kidding!" You should have seen her face.

Interesting Twist Whenever a friend is playing a trick on me and it's really obvious, I get super serious, look her in the eye and say, "April Fools' is tomorrow." She gets this confused look on her face, and that's when I say "April Fools'." Simple but effective.

STICK IT TO THEM!

Feeling a little devilish? A little crafty? This prank is totally classic, but remember--payback ain't cheap!

YOU WILL NEED a sibling * his or her white deodorant * cream cheese * a butter knife

1. Take the deodorant, and roll it up so that it sticks out.

2. Cut off the part that is sticking out.

3. Roll down the deodorant so there is an empty space.

4. Use the butter knife to put cream cheese in the empty space.

5. Scroll it back up so it is sticking out a little bit, and shape it like normal deodorant.

When your sister or brother goes to put deodorant on, it will be cream cheese in the armpit! Don't forget--when you hear yelling from the bathroom, hide.
