we ain't no April fools!


How can you have twins and not participate in the most classic twin joke of all time-- the old switcheroo! On April Fool's Day, no less. Jared must have seen this coming. EVERYONE must have seen this coming. I still had to do it.

When Jared got home, I had them dressed in each other's clothing, and placed them in their bouncers. We were all in the kitchen and the kids had their backs to the door. Jared first came in to give me a kiss (he is well-trained), and then I asked if he would change Bethany's diaper. I knew he'd never get to the changing table before he noticed-- although it would've been awesome for him to open the diaper and get a really big surprise! It was still fun to see him reach for "Bethany" (really Isaac), realize, and say "What?!" about 12 times as his eyes darted back and forth between the babies. April Fools, baby! GOTCHA!!

  1. LOL!! That's hysterical! Although I agree, that would've been AWESOME if he didn't figure it out til the diaper change!!!

  2. I had twin roommates at BYU-I that would switch places to take tests to improve their scores. One sis would take it first then the other, who was better at the subject, or had already taken the class, would do the retake to up the score. Totally dishonest, but part of me thought that was pretty sly too. They did it several times too. Good thing that won't be a temptation for your kids.
