Who Better To Prank On April Fool's Than Your Mother? [AUDIO]

I love April Fool's Day.

Every year, my mom is the easiest target for pranking. Over the last few years, I used the classic "I got someone pregnant" gag -- twice -- and she fell for it both times.

I figured this year I would go in a different direction.

What is the one thing a parent hopes their kids don't do? For mine it would be working in pornography. I knew it wouldn't have been believable to say I was starring in a porn flick, so figuring I would stay with the porn theme, I told her I was offered a job as webmaster of a porn website.

My future? Not so much. What my mother was concerned about were the benefits and how long the company has been around. That's right, my mom was worried about the 401K program at her son's new job in porn.

If you listen, you can tell my mom was trying to talk around it as much as possible.

Finally, I gave her an out and said it was they offered the job on April Fools' Day. That's when she figured out it was a prank. That's when she broke, and decided to swear. She was a good sport about it!
