A mean Mommy on April Fool's Day!

So it's April Fool's Day what's a Mommy to do? I heard about this idea and I modified it a bit. Here's what I did. Last night when my sweet little innocents slept I made brownies. A few minutes before the brownies were done I took them out of the oven. I scooped the the under cooked brownies into a large Zip lock bag. Then with Pot holders on my hands I squished the brownies all up. Then I cut the corner off the bag and squeezed the brownie mixture out onto a cookie sheet into the shape of little "poops!" I put the "poops" into the oven for a couple minutes and then let them cool. Then today I told the kids I had something for them to try. Before I showed them what it was I told them Daddy heard some strange information about a weird item that had nutritional value like vitamins in it. I told them Daddy had gone out last night and collected one of these items special for each of them. They kept asking, "what is it?" I told them I would show them in a minute and I just wanted them to each try at least one bite. Then I unveiled the "poopy platter!" Karlie took one look and said, "I don't want that!" Derek said, "I'm not eating that!" Karlie started to get tears in her eyes. Ryan looked down at the "poops" and said, "Me will it's chocolate!" He popped a piece into his mouth. Karlie took a closer look and tried a piece. It took allot of convincing to get Derek to try it though! It was so funny. It took everything in me not to laugh! I felt bad when it looked like Karlie might cry! But in the end we all laughed about it. Through out the day Ryan told people we ate poop today and they thought it was his April Fool's joke. Then I would explain it was actually a joke I played on the kids!
