April Fools’: Not So Funny Now, huh?
Jake Thompson had always considered himself the king of pranks, and April Fools’ Day was his personal holiday. This year, he was going big. He spent hours crafting a fake eviction notice, complete with official-looking stamps and legal jargon, and posted it on the front door for his dad, Mr. Thompson, to find when he got home from the warehouse.

That’s when Jake jumped out from behind the couch, barely able to contain his laughter. “APRIL FOOLS!” he hollered, doubling over at his dad’s reaction.
Mr. Thompson froze mid-call. Slowly, he lowered the phone, his face turning from pale to red—not from fear anymore, but from pure, unfiltered rage. His jaw clenched, his eyes narrowed, and for a solid five seconds, he just stared at Jake, breathing heavily through his nose.
Jake’s grin faltered. “Uh… Dad?”
Mr. Thompson took one slow step forward. “You think this is funny?” His voice was eerily calm.
Jake gulped. “I mean… kinda?”
“Kinda?!” His dad exploded. “Do you have any idea what you just did?! I nearly had a damn heart attack! I called the bank! I was ready to fight for this house! And you—” He let out a deep, dangerous chuckle. “Oh, you are dead meat, boy.”
Jake had about three seconds to realize he had really messed up before his dad lunged.
“D-Dad, wait! It was just a joke—!”
