I subbed at the grade school today in the 4th grade class & since it was April Fool's Day, I thought it would be funny to put a great big obvious ball under my shirt & pretend I was pregnant. I got to school & all the little kids were bombarding me with, "Your shoe is untied. April Fools!" and "There's a spider on your chair. April Fools!" and all these other "tricks" that were oh, so, original. So, anywhoo ~ I'm thinking, "Duh. They are all over this pregnancy belly..." Imagine my surprise when they all start asking me about my "baby". THEY BOUGHT IT! The obvious ball under shirt (it even had dents in it at times ~ 'cause we deflated it a bit so it'd fit ~!!!) had WORKED. Oh, too funny! I mean, half these kids are either in my ward or friends of my kids, so it isn't like they didn't see me just last Sunday or something! So, as I'm standing there getting class started, I was answering their questions. I decided to throw a curveball at them, and tell them that no, it wasn't a baby. I had just swallowed a watermelon seed & it had grown... and I thought it was ready to hatch today. Then I pulled it out from under my shirt. Half the kids gasped and the other half squealed. That was hilarious! A few were even disappointed that there was no watermelon to eat though ~

HAHA! That's great. Thanks for a good laugh.
Oh, that's hilarious! Leave it to Guppy to think of great ideas for April Fools, and also to be able to pull something like this off! Loved it!
Too funny! You go girl! I didn't know you subbed, cool! Yes, a few of my friends did the same things and announced on their blogs that they were preggers and I didn't even clue in! They got me for sure!!
That's funny that it didn't phase the kids that you were very pregnant. Summer totally got me with her April Fool's joke of saying she's pregnant.
Love it, Guppy! What a fun idea. Kids are so gullible, huh? You'll have to take watermelon for a snack next time you go...how often are you subbing?
Kids are so much fun to tease.
You are such a creative and gutsy gal! I'm just not the type to go into public with a volleyball in my shirt! How funny that they didn't realize it was a joke! You so do rock Korianne! Love you sweety!
They'll remember that one for years!
I totally told my husband that I was pregnant and he believed me for ten minutes until I started feeling guilty. He was so relieved when I said APRIL FOOLS!!! Are you guys done having kids???
hahaha, Guppy are you sure you don't want a baby in the tummy instead of a funny ball, remember what we talked about in St. George, Our little secret? :) Good Trick anyways! Love, Kally
Hey there, Kally! I am so OUT of that rumor!!! hee hee
That is WAY funny!! It's funny how kids don't quite understand how things work. Good job on pulling it off!!
Ummmmmm I'm very curious as to your and Kally's "St. George Secret." Do Tell..........
By the way, Guppy....You're funny!
I love a good April Fool's day joke. Especially when it works. It's funny that your "belly" even had dents in it. Aren't kids just so adorable.
That is too funny! I couldn't think of anything clever like this this year. My kids are still a little young to get the whole April Fool's thing anyways. Maybe next year!
Every year I say, "NEXT year I'm going to do a great April Fool's prank!". Then, next year comes and goes, and I still have nothing!
I too, was at the school and the teacher and I had to finally tell the kids "no more April Fool's jokes until recess" because it was seriously..."Mrs. Pope, there's a spider on your shoulder...April Fools!" "Mrs. Pope, there's a monster behind you...April Fools!" "Mrs. Pope, what's 2+2? Four...what!...April Fools!" I never got that last one...
I'm still laughing. That is so cute. I love kids! I'm glad you had a fun time.
I had fun telling a few people I was prego also, they all fell for it too! Whew, I'm sure glad I'm not though!
O how funny! You seriously are the coolest mom cause you are so funny! I bet you have the house that all your kids' friends come hang out at!
Seriously, this is awesome! My kids would love you to come sub here!!!!! What a fun April Fools day! I didn't even do one trick...pooey.
ha! so funny! I love that they fell for it! kids are the best to tease :)
