KRISTA &
BECCA’S BEST APRIL FOOL’S PRANK
As told by Krista
There are plenty of classic April Fool’s pranks. The Saran
wrap on the toilet seat, the toothpaste Oreos, or even something as simple as a
“made you look” joke. As twins, there was really only one April Fool’s prank
that seemed right for us and we continued to do it every year.
It first started in middle school in 6th grade,
we sat down together and made up a plan to switch classes. Yes. We were going
to finally be able to answer the question we always get. The answer to “have you ever switched classes in
school?” would now change from a lame “no” to a stellar “hell, yes.” But first,
we had to plan.
Step One: We took notes from the movie Parent Trap (the Lindsay Lohan version) and sat down the night
before, mapping out each classroom. We had to know exactly where we both sat in
the class so that we didn’t look like fools.
Step Two: Tell a trusted friend in each class. This was our
back-up plan, in case we still couldn’t find the seat or in case we needed to
ward off students who got a suspicious eye. The friend would be there to
corroborate that we were indeed the correct twin.
Step Three: Dress
alike. Contrary to popular belief, we didn’t ever dress alike in school. Those
days were long gone, left in the past with elementary school when our mom
dressed us. So yeah, it was going to be a little suspicious that we were
showing up on April Fool’s Day dressed alike. But we hoped that the teachers
wouldn’t notice since we didn’t have the same classes together.
And then came April Fool’s Day. We split up. Switched
classes. It was terrifying. As a bona fide rule-follower, breaking this one
rule (even of the Fool’s Day) was not liberating like I thought it would be. I
was downright a nervous ball of sweat all day. Did it work? Some students
definitely knew. Or at least maybe it was my subconscious playing tricks on me
and thinking everyone was looking at
me and pointing. Who knows. But not once all morning did a teacher pull me
aside. Either they didn’t know or they didn’t care. Which was fine by me.
Becca had a different story. She immediately went into the
classroom and “slouched” in her chair. Which prompted my friend from Step Two
to scold her with “Krista doesn’t slouch. You’re not acting like her.” Yes. I
was the Hermoine Granger of 6th grade. And then the worst
happened—Becca was caught last period by one of the science teachers that we
shared.
I was unaware that she had been caught, but when I was
pulled out of my last period class by the science teacher, I knew something was
amiss. He told me with a straight face that I was about to be in serious
trouble. Skipping was not allowed and what we did was going to send us to the
Principal’s office. Cue the waterworks. I instantly started crying and
blubbering like a fool. And then out pops Becca from around the corner with a
sheepish “April Fool’s?”
I had been tricked. My sister and the science teacher
schemed together to dupe me.
And that was how Becca (singularly) pulled off the best
April Fool’s Prank, but not only switching classes but then pranking her own
twin teammate. *bows down*
