It was an almost normal night in the late 1950's... My father had made one of the biggest mistakes of his life, only he had no idea at the time; all he knew, is that if he could pull it off the expected reaction, it would be an hilarious April Fool's Day prank. Since he also knew that his mother (my grandma) always stuck to her nightly routine, the prank was likely to work. Each evening, she first tucked her kids in for the night, watched her favorite black & white television programs, maybe read a little bit, and always finished her daily crossword puzzle; then went to the bathroom at ten o'clock sharp, before finally going to bed an hour later.
That April 1st, she had just finished her crossword puzzle and was making her way to the bathroom. My dad was in his bed biting his tongue trying not to laugh. When his mom opened the door to the changing area between the bedroom and restroom, BANG!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! A horrific scream filled the house. At this point my dad is laughing so hard he can't breathe. His father runs from the den to where his beloved wife was screaming her brains out. after hearing the loud bang and the scream from my grandma. My grandpa was probably thinking she got shot or something. Relieved to see she was OK, they calmed down and began to realize what happened... My dad had taped some thumbtacks to the back of the hall door, and some balloons to the closet behind it. A very simple yet very effective prank. Unfortunately for my father they figured out that it was him, since his brother was too young to pull off a prank so smooth, and perfectly, like my dad did.
While my grandpa was confronting my father over the prank, my dad couldn't stop laughing, confusing my grandpa even more. A few seconds later, BANG!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Another horrific scream fills the house. My grandma had finally made it to the toilet, and lowered the lid, engaging part two of my dad's April Fool's Day prank; setting a party popper to go off when the toilet seat was lowered. Even my grandpa had to laugh at that point, though my grandma wanted to punish my dad for his pranks.
The following night my grandma and grandpa stuffed my fathers pillow with books, but my dad still says that was definitely one of his best April Fool's Day pranks, and the pay back was worth it.

To pull off the same prank my father did you will need...
- one balloon
- one party popper or two party poppers
- a pair of scissors
- tape
- thumb tacks
- an unexpecting victim
It really is as simple as that. Also make sure you have the availablity of a restroom for a few seconds to set this prank up, and trust me its a lot easier setting up the prank when no ones using the bathroom.
