It was April Fool's Day last year I think.

My father and I were up late watching television and the time ticked past midnight so it became, technically speaking, April 1st. He convinced me of something that was completely believable, that a friend of ours on Star Wars Galaxies had unlocked his Jedi slot. (If you're not familiar with the game that won't make sense but it's an unimportant detail anyway.)

My father was big into drinking bottles of sparkling water and when I went into the kitchen I asked him if he wanted a bottle. He said yes and I went into action. I added a few drops of blue food coloring so it looked like Windex (cleaning fluid.) I told him it looked funny and brought it out to him. I removed the cap, smelled the funny blue water and asked if he still wanted it. He said no and I took a swig. I had him convinced I was drinking cleaning fluid.

It was too funny.
