I love April Fools' Day. I wrote about our day last year, here.
Today? I have the PERFECT, NO FAIL plan:
I'm doing The Smirk.
As in, this morning, when my husband pours his coffee-to-go into his travel mug, I'll say, "Enjoy your coffee..." ::smirk::
As in, when the kids come downstairs for breakfast, "Enjoy your oatmeal..." ::smirk::
And when the lunches are packed I'll send them off with a paper bag in their hand, a peck on the cheek, and a whisper to the ear, "Enjoy your sandwich..." ::smirk::
The town librarian who gets to see me first thing won't be left out, either, "Here's the books I borrowed..." ::smirk::
The Smirk. To everyone and anyone that will cross my path today.
The best is yet to come: the ubercharming ultrafriendly sooooopernice welcoming gaggle of women at tonight's potluck, "Enjoy the coffee cake, ladies..." ::smirk::
I love today.

**Thanks to Mashable, for the inspiration for this post.
Simple, yet effective!
ReplyDeleteI do LOVE the ::smirk:: Happy Punking, all!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try the smirk too! hehe
The ::smirk:: Love it! I'm so stealing your idea tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling my oldest daughter has all kinds of pranks lined up to play on me for April Fool's Day.
There is no doubt in my mind that you do a mean smirk.
ReplyDeleteDana
haha...its going to be a fun day for sure...
ReplyDeleteI am backing slowly away from your blog!
ReplyDeleteLMBO! Hahaha! I'm so bugged I'm off today now! I could have messed with so many people today with The Smirk.
ReplyDeleteThat is BRILLIANT.
ReplyDeleteYou are an evil genius.
ReplyDeleteHow did I know that you would love this day and have such a brilliant way of celebrating it. Have fun... I'm sure you will!
ReplyDeleteWell played ;)
ReplyDeleteMuch better than hubby changing his relationship status on FB and me having to field all of the concerned friendds inboxing me.
OMG that's SO AWESOME
ReplyDelete*snorty snort snot*
ReplyDeleteExcept, I'm traveling tonight.
I really don't want the check-in attendant to say, "Have a nice flight!" ::smirk::
I won't handle that well.
You are a cheeky little monkey, Empress. And that is why I love you :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the smirk.
ReplyDeleteOh! And you know what goes great with a smirk?
Cobra Fangs.
The Smirk: I'm lovin' it.
ReplyDeleteGo forth, and smirketh.
xo
Oh, I am SO using the smirk today! If only I had read this before breakfast.....bwahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteWhilst I smirketh, you enjoyeth it too.
xoxo
Ooooh, good one! I told everybody we were having hotdogs for breakfast and they were ticked off when I said, "April Fools!" Good thing I didn't go with ice cream. It might have been war.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the gaggle at Potluck!
Now THAT's an effective strategy for April 1st if I've ever heard one!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the smirk!!
ReplyDeleteEmpress, I have no doubt this day rivals that of Christmas in your mind!
ReplyDeleteFantastic plan! Please let us know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteOh you cheeky girl. I hate April Foo's day but u almost made it fun. Just glad I am not close enough to get the smirk. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this. I can't even pretend to smirk because it's true. And smart. Efficient, even.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one can accuse you of lying.
Genius.
That is pure evil and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I'm too gullible to enjoy April 1st. I tend to stay in the house, or avoid all eye contact if I must leave. You are the coolest. I am the foolest.
ReplyDeleteYou are too freakin' funny. Glad I'm not going to that potluck.
ReplyDeleteBut enjoy the chocolate I sent you! Smirk. :)
You all are cracking me up. You'd better do this, at least, get one good one in.
ReplyDeletePerfect. I'm doing this the rest of the evening!
ReplyDeleteI won't smirking at my husband though, he hasn't quite recovered from my little ooops I'm pregnant April foolary. (I'm not, I'm too old and way too tired)
Genius. Probably the best of the day.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, I really love the idea of just doing the smirk all day!! Hahaha!!! You just keep people guessing left and right. Why didn't I read this post earlier? I would've copied you.
ReplyDeleteyou make me smirketh. Sadly I have a bad track record for pranks. I'm not so good. There was the one year though, when I was pregnant and I took a pregnancy test for my non pregnant friend to show to her husband.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea she would be mean and let him fall asleep that night, talking about baby names. BWUAHAHAHA!
I was proud to be a part of it.
hee hee. That's a good idea. Very easy prank to full off while instilling maximum paranoia in the punk'd.
ReplyDeleteSo I thought I had this April Fool's Day in the bag. I woke my kids up and told them that they didn't have school today! Then my oldest says, "Mom! We know that! It's a Teacher Work Day". I check the calendar. It IS a Teacher Work Day. The joke is on me. Stupid Teacher Work Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing this for next year. Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat post ::smirk::
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, and it's the second anyway...
Oh yes the smirk!!! I love it. I've been thinking of ways on how to play pranks on my family and your idea of smirk just hit me off. I'm gonna do the smirk thing. Thanks for the idea.:-)
ReplyDeletehighlarious.
ReplyDeleteYou got me.
Completely.
BTW- I love your voice. xoxox New Pal, Suzi
Oh my god. That is BRILLIANT!!! IT's so simple yet so effective. Did it work well?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry and embarrassed to say that there was not ONE punk in my life on this day. NOT ONE! Including from me.
ReplyDeleteOh sad sad life without any fun!
I really love the 'smirking' idea. Leave them guessing.
Oh my, this is so deliciously evil. I'm somehow looked upon as the "prankster," though I haven't pulled an April Fools Day joke since I convinced my college roommate that I'd be undergoing a sex-change operation because I really felt I was a lesbian trapped inside a man's body.
ReplyDeleteWait! Didn't you do your usual tricks on your kids? I remember it from last year. I was actually afraid you were going to say that it was an April Fool's that you were posting on my site , hee hee.
ReplyDeleteWe wish we had smirked more on April 1, but we're loving your smirk and living vicariously through it!
ReplyDeleteSo subtle, so brilliant. I am doing the smirk next year!
