Today, I got a letter from Yale law school saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing... even the bottom, which said, "April fools! Love mom and dad." FML

That's crossing the line for an April Fool's joke.

Wow, it must've seemed legit enough to be a real document which tells me they put a lot of time into it... And for that, I'm not sure if they're awesome or assholes.

Next year, send your mom or dad a letter saying the other person wants a divorce.

Yeah, but then they'd be relieved rather than disappointed when they discovered it was a prank. OP's gonna have to do better than that.

Don't get mad. Don't even get even. One up the mother *******. I suggest a prank that involves convincing them they've won millions of dollars. Any other ideas? Come on, now. Don't be shy. I've found that collaboration often yields superior creative results.

18- Op could steal their identities and rack up a huge debt in their names, and then when their parents are all worried about it. Say April fools! It wasn't a random stranger, it was me!

124- I really hope you're joking. My comment contained a lot of sarcasm that I guess you didn't get. I thought it was obvious that what I said was a horrible idea.

OP should wait a while, then convince them that he/she is going to do something drastic (e.g. Become a stripper or something) because their hopes and dreams are crushed. Get them to believe it for a while. That should teach them.

Fabricating something of importance to them would be advisable here.

Do you make a habit of not reading things to the end? Honestly, the "sincerely" part of letters is one of the biggest things that stand out. Plus, you don't even know the length of your dream school's program...that should have been a dead giveaway if you actually researched any law school...YDI for not completing important things.

I've gotten acceptance letters before, and at the bottom there's always a separation for signatures or names or what have you. The eye is immediately drawn to that. And if such a separation didn't exist, it wouldn't be much of a fancy letter (so in sure her parents took the painstaking effort to so it) Maybe it's just me. I usually pay more attention to tiny details than the main thing.

Next year, tell them that you're pregnant and housing an ex-convict

I don't know I'm into the whole Dom submissive thing so I dont think the books are "****** up" horrible literature and a bad example of what the Dom/sub lifestyle really is like,but not ****** up

115 -- no, it's just terrible literature. I'm assuming you're a Twilight fan as well?

I find the way they signed it to be particularly atrocious. If you really loved your child you would not pull this type of shit.
