Fools in April
My family doesn't celebrate many healthy holidays, but we all revere April Fool's Day.
There was the time that my father had his friend in the FAA call to my uncle, saying my father's plane had crashed somewhere in the mountains of Arizona. That was funny.
My sister's high point was when she was vacationing in Tangiers and had a friend call my father in the middle of the night in the US, stating that Debbie had been arrested by the police. She didn't know where she had been taken, why she had been taken, etc. He wasn't amused the next day, but we all thought it was funny.
I've had some okay pranks, but I'm planning a big one in the next few years. The fallout will be amazing. I was going to do it this year, but just didn't have the time.
Some families remember events like graduations, marriages, and that sort of thing. My family remembers things with titles like "the broom incident" and "the electric cattle prodder against the nuts in the shower incident."
We're fun that way.

When I was a teenager my father's friend "accidently" touched me with a cattle prod while loading a cow onto a truck. After I finished lying on the ground jerking uncontrollably, I told the guy off using very colorful language. What was amazing was my father didn't seem to understand why I hated the guy afterwards.

My dad had shocked my sister with the cattle prod while she was washing her hair in the kitchen sink once (my poor sisters shared a bathroom in the morning).
In retaliation, she snuck into his bathroom about a week later. She just opened the shower door and pushed in the cattle prod without looking. My dad told me that he had a half second to look down at the metal prods touching the jewels before she pushed the button.
Oh the fun.

I know I really shouldn't laugh at that, but...
