Hmmm. Interesting! I'm always afraid of pranks going wrong and someone getting hurt or being horribly embarrassed so I'd probably start from there and have some fun with this prompt!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I hear you on that one. Sometimes the pranks that seem epic in concept go wrong in ways one can't imagine. Happy writing!
Delete@ Laurel - I think April Fool things worked so well years ago - now there's too much manipulation ... but at home with the little ones - why not ... and laughter just encourages so much more laughter - love amusing people ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteAll the big companies are getting into making huge hoax campaigns, like this year Google has "Google Gnome"--a digital assistant for your yard. Those are pretty fun, actually. But indeed, it gets to a point where you can't trust anything you hear on April 1.
DeleteWhat a fun prompt. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with for A to Z! @mirymom1 from

Thanks, Samantha. Lots more fun to come (and some more serious ones in the mix as well).
