April Fools

All the talk about April Fool’s day reminded me about a prank my friends decided to pull on me last year for April Fool’s. I got back to my car after track practice and found that someone had taken my radio. After believing it had been stolen for five seconds I noticed a note in my front seat. The note was a riddle that described a location somewhere in town and said I needed to go to that location for further instructions. This note lead to another, and another, and another….and so on.  In the end, I had to go on a 2 hour scavenger hunt all over town before finding my radio. After searching the city park, my school, and even a teacher’s backyard to find clues, I was finally led to my house where the radio was sitting in my room. I didn’t think the prank was that hilarious but I’ll admit I was impressed that they had gone to that much trouble. For me the funniest part of the prank was the irony that the radio was in my room the whole time while I was searching all over town and sneaking into teacher’s backyards. In the end it was just a harmless prank and gave me something to do for the night even if it wasn’t laugh out loud funny.
