The best April Fool’s joke.

I think I just laughed so hard I bruised a rib.

My dad drinks a lot of coffee- instant coffee. He wakes up and immediately fills the Alessi tea kettle to make his hot water for his coffee. When PB and I were in Italy we came across something that would make the PERFECT vehicle for an April Fool’s joke on my dad. Luckily I was in RI to do it…..

His normal tea kettle:

What he found this morning:

I woke up at 5 AM and crept down to the kitchen to replace his tea kettle with the mini identical one we got in Italy. Then I crept back up to my bed to wait until he went downstairs.

Of course this is the first time ever that he sleeps in! I waited and waited and finally heard him clear his throat, open his door, and go downstairs. I crept down behind him.

His reaction?

Imagine a strong Middle Eastern accent, and then read this:

“Ohhhh my Goddd.. What is happening? What is going on? What is happening????”

I was cracking up! I went into the ktichen and yelled APRIL FOOL’S and we both laughed like hyenas.

It was a good one, no?

For comparison, here are the two together:

The mini one is only about 2, maybe 3 inches high.

Happy April Fool’s Day!
