Kitchen Hose Sprays Again, Drenching Mothers on April Fool’s Day

            Mothers, such as my own, become victim to the kitchen hose prank every year on April Fool’s Day as they unsuspectingly turn on the water and receive a good drenching.

As elementary schoolers, my brother and I attempted the infamous Water Sprayer April Fool’s Prank [http://www.instructables.com/id/Water-Sprayer-April-Fools-Prank] on our mother and, to our delight, succeeded.

In order to tamper with the kitchen hose without our mom knowing, we sent her to the store to buy Mexican food ingredients for dinner. While she was gone, my brother and I rounded up a few rubber bands from the office as quickly as possible. Together, we bound the rubber bands tightly around the trigger of the kitchen hose, making sure the rubber bands were secure before we pointed the nozzle straight forward. In a single minute, our crafty work was finished.

            When our mom arrived home, we greeted her with the news that we had found Kool-Aid mix and politely asked if she would make Kool-Aid. With a smile on her face, she grabbed a pitcher. As she approached the sink, my brother let out a giggle, which I suppressed. Unknowingly, my mom turned on the faucet only to get blasted in the face and chest with water.
