A Story About "April Fools"

     A few years back, while in High School, my twin brother and I wanted to play some sort of prank on the upcoming April Fool's Day. We took some time brainstorming through the different pranks we can do as a set of identical twins. I mean as you can tell from the picture we resemble just a little bit.

    
      Finally, we came to a decision of switching classes on April Fools and instead of going to our normal class we would attend each others. Now with a prank such as this in mind, we had to sort out a game plan so that we could know the ins and outs of accomplishing this goal.

      We started relaying information back and forth on where we sit, who all would sit next to us, and what kind of work would we be doing in the classroom. To clue you in, I was attending his math class while he was in my computer class. 

      Well the day had come. April first was here and this would be the ultimate test of an identical twin. As the day had gone by, the class to switch was coming quickly. Eventually the bell rang to switch classes and we met in the hallway one last time to go over the game plan. After that, I was on my own. I entered the classroom quiet as I could be. As I sat down I started to fill my friends in on how it was me and not my brother. Funny thing is they did not believe me when I said I was Anthony. Curse my mirror imaged looks!

      The class continued on beginning with lecture. The teacher consistently taught and students persistently responded. I myself just sat there in silence not wanting any bit of attention on me, but then it happened. The teacher suddenly got quiet. She looked at me and said these exact words "Alec you sure are being mighty quiet today." I froze. I wasn't sure if she knew or what, but at that very moment I looked up with a smile on my face and said "April Fools"!

       Well the plan failed and we got busted all because my brother is known for not being quiet. Although Alec didn't get caught in my class we still both were sent to the office and were given a warning. Our plan had crumbled and fell apart in the blink of an eye. One thing I learned that day is to never try to fool Mrs. Rhonda Boyette. Haha Happy April Fool's day!
