[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 417228, member: 3444"] Glad I was able to cause a chuckle or two. :bigsmile: I pulled a prank on difficult child 1's lacrosse team yesterday, too. Earlier in the week, I posted on the team web site and FB page that Friday (yesterday) was the head coach's birthday. Word spread among the players pretty quickly, and by Thursday, many of them were preparing to sing to the coach after their game Friday afternoon. Even some of the parents were talking (though my friend and I quickly clued in those who sounded like they were going to go buy a gift or something), and the assistant coach called my friend to confirm it. We got his buy-in and he agreed to help get the singing started after the game. When the time finally came, it was a delight to hear 20 young men serenade their very confused looking coach, who immediately began protesting that his birthday was actually in June. NONE of the players believed him! :rofl: This denial on both sides went on for several more minutes until coach finally started betting players for field sprints if his claim wasn't true. I eventually stepped in and had the boys gather around to use my phone to show them an "e-card" (YouTube video) I told them they'd want to "sign" for coach... The short clip played an 80's group singing Happy Birthday, then the coach's picture came up with words indicating they'd be prompted on the next screen, which was the grand finale April Fools message and theme song! Only then did most of them realize they'd been duped -- it was pretty hysterical. Hope everyone has a great weekend! [/QUOTE]
