On April 1st, I seldom do anything to create a prank. This year, I decided to leave a text message for Jay, my husband. I was hoping to get him on his toes.
I said that I was locked up in the county jail and he needed to find me some bail money! Of course, he didn't check his messages until he got home:( I never considered this might happen.
Rats! My April Fools Joke didn't work:)
I was here when Jay got home,, as you had already figured out!
Anyway, it was a fun try, at a little humor:)

Jay might have thought that I'd hit someone, with my Jeep:) In two minutes, he would have smelled a rat!

Jay knows that I bend over backwards, to obey the law. He wouldn't have believe me, after two minutes!

Usually, Jay pranks me first! This year, I tried to switch it around:)

Jay told me, "Hey, I wish this had been the truth!" (kidding back)

@kobesbuddy 
you could have taken it a step further and hid when he came in and then popped out when he was unsure of what was happening,

At least your attempt at humor did not harm anyone.

When pranks hurt someone, the joke is never OK. Jay usually pranks me first!

Better luck next time. Do you think he would have believed that anyway?

No, Jay would be suspicious, the minute he read the message. I've never been in trouble, even one time.

Yes, we both got a good laugh out of it, anyway! I told the fella at Burger King, Elliott said, "Hey, Jay knew but he actually wanted to leave you in jail!"

Jay and I both got a good laugh out of it. He said, "Darn, why didn't this really happen!"

Jay knows me well enough, I don't break the law. He is usually first, to prank me!

Or if Jay had driven to the county jail and checked out my information! He said to me, "Darn, why didn't this really happen?" lol

Yes, sometimes a joke causes injury to someone involved. This is never funny, of course.

Good picture. That kind of joke would not work with Bob. He does not know how to check texts and does not care to learn.

Jay loves to text, he talks all day on his text messages.

That photo was taken a few years ago, in our second home.
