All Comments on 'April Fools - Gotcha!'

Loved it

is that it has to work on the one intended, boy is someones face red, TK U MLJ LV NV

Why the need to limit to 750 words?

But I wouldn't do it in a million years!

on both sides but a Gotcha

When I went looking for April Fool ideas I ran into three good ideas. I had just realized I could have entered into the 750 challenge and missed it. My bad!

April Fool pranks (usually) being short I decided to write all three stories in the 750 format for practice. However the Cheat-ify story was a little dark so I decided to publish it separately. Cheat-ify was a hit so the sequel followed written as a flash story.

It's just that these were all written a month ago and I didn't feel the need to change them. Short sweet and hopefully entertaining for April Fools. But it is a contest so please vote!

Condom wrapper = nuclear option, he's lucky he's still married. I think Meredith truly is a loving wife :)

Playing with fire though. Good luck, your stories are imaginative and fun.

There was no other way to resolve or end the story without it being a reverse of the prank with the end of the story coming. Still a very cute story.

When the hearing aid was mentioned my immediate thought was, "fuck, not another geriatric fucking story." Glad that was immediately clarified.

If I did this prank on my wife, and it wasn't April Fool's day (and I would do that on any day to joke with her), and she immediately didn't react and assumed it was a prank, I would be pissed. I'd be like, bitch, what the fuck? You don't think any other woman would have me? Now that would be a good reverse prank.

Last, if he did this on any other day and she realized it was a prank, how awesome of a relationship is that where she totally trusts him and knows he is messing with her. Obviously, he didn't return the compliment back to her.

I found a condom wrapper and a used condom in the trash can in our spare bedroom. I had been away for two weeks and just got back, wife asked me to empty the trash. We don't use that room much, not even sure why I checked it.

We don't use condoms, even the sight of one makes me wilt. Pissed off, I didn't say a word, watched the wife closely for a month, nothing. Not even a sniff of anything going on. Hell, even her massage therapist is a 55 year old gray haired lady.

WTF?? One night thing, what was it?

Finally, I mentioned it, to see her reaction. Probably sounded pissed.

She cracked up, what was so fucking funny?

"I wondered what the hell was the matter with you lately, I just forgot to tell you, Darin and his girl friend stayed overnight while you were gone. They came by for a visit."

Darin is her 20 year old kid by her 1st marriage.

OK. Apologize.

But.. I STILL watch her.

This worked ok as 750 words. There was no extraneous plot points, back story or follow up needed.

Cute.

That made me smile.....thanks!

Nicely set up, great fun.

Very, very funny! His wife is obviously quick on the draw and WAY smarter than he is at pranks! Even at 750 words this was cleverly done and well written. Thanks for the story.

5 stars

It is nice indeed to see some creativity in this genre. How some people take 8 pages to create trash sometimes amazes me,l but this little gem almost makes up for them. Thanks.

Just got to love them. That was a good one.

Very different and intelligent sense of humor!

Congratulations.

T.T.

Well done. Left me with a smile and that's worth a pretty penny.

Gotta love a backfired April Fools prank! And he deserved it. Five stars!

...ever really know for sure?

That was pretty good. Could see it coming but still worth 4 stars.

Another funny story again using the torn condom wrapper...4*

The image of him having a complete panic attack as she messed with him was priceless...nice.

congratulations!

April Fools and 750 words worked well together here with Gordo's clever little story.

The 750 word challenge seems to have started a genre of its own. There have been several stories now since the great day of the challenge. Mostly short and whimsical and often very good.

I don't like cuck shit. 1 star.

They are NOT words, piss poor if you're using those towards the word count!

Thanks for sharing. She got him good.

Nice gotcha. Good story.

Reading is not your strong point is it?

Next time I'll include pretty pictures and small words for you so that you can understand no one cheated and there was no cuck shit.

I'm surprised mommy even lets you use words like that???

You got that backwards. I was warning readers that if they used text editors that count words, rather than fingers and toes, many editors count ******* as a word.

The title and story are exactly 750 words and ****** doesn't count. I hope that clears it up for you.

excellent - clever, clever frau. (awards 2 points on the reversal, preparing to add back points...*)

*wrestling scoring reference

Did not see that coming, amazingly. Well worth reading

As soon as hubby planted the scumbag wrapper I had a feeling that this gag,or bag,would blow up in his face. Either it would turn out that she really had been boffed with the bag and was relieved that she'd found the wrapper first,or more likely,she'd make her husband believe that by hiding the wrapper and saying nothing. ~ Good story but,a little too obvious early on.

What a surprise at the end. Never saw it coming. Made me laugh out loud.

Very clever! Another 5 😊😊😊😊😊

Funny but never place doubt in someone’s mind . It could lead to distrust and second guessing

it could lead to a beating or worse. Real bad idea. Lots of people out there snap for less

LIKED IT ALOT.

Perfect 750-word Flash, AND set in the April Fool’s genre.

And I certainly didn’t see the end coming. Brilliant, really.

5-stars & Favorite

Absolutely excellent. What a clever woman and what a strike back to once again be one up in the April's fool game! Clearly 5 stars.

A brilliant ending!

Good story enjoyed

Well now, wasn't that clever ;) I really respect the ability to craft these tight little stories. This one was sweet, and romantic, and had a happy ending — just the way I like 'em ;) Thanks for recommending it gordo12!

And a terrific wife as well.

This could have gone, a fun Gotcha or a not so fun Gotcha. Glad it was the former not the latter, especially for him. Signed: BTW

Don't you just hate it when the wife is smarter than you are? My wife has signed me so many times that I've quit trying.

Begging for trouble.

Now that was awesome!

Not dislike but hate STUPID pranks

Nice one!!!

Well

Why not?

No sex pranks ever. Deserve all the pain you get if backfire. Worst case scenario someone gets shot etc

@ Annon: (Of course)

I find myself baffled. You come to a sex site. (You do realize this is a sex site, don't you?) Read stories about April Fool, which is traditionally a time for pranks. And you're upset about stories with A. F. sex pranks? On two different stories, you posted the same comment. Perhaps stories in another genre might suit you better!

Nice save on that one. I was really worried for him for a minute there. Loved it. 5 stars

Great Story !!!!!

Great story.

I laughed = 5 stars. What a cute little story that takes the reader on a short, but fun, emotional roller coaster. Nice!

Great story. 5 stars

smart ass wives, never marry a woman smarter than yourself, 5 stars

Sorry lady, I got you!

Three great April Fools stories. This is now my favorite.

Short and sweet, just like me!!!

April fool's joke = mean joke with ice cream.

Another 5 rating. This time is not for insight to human connections but the cutie quick read.

Like it but only because the pranker becomes the pranked.

Than some

Or is she trying to hide something?

The joke's on him!

Another clever twist

Great twist..

Hoist on his own petard. 😆 People who play practical jokes sometimes get it back in spades. Nice story BardnotBard

Good twist. Wife is two steps ahead of him.

That was fantastic! Well done!

Be careful what you wish for

Good one !

I agree with the previous comments.

Nice backfire. An unexpected twist that missed@
