April Fool

I was prankster in my teens.On numerous occasions i was reprimanded for these pranks.I never realized the tables would turn someday.One of my office colleagues pulled a fast one on me on the 1st of april.Posing as someone from FM radio he called me up on my landline and said he wanted to speak to me regarding a bumper prize.My father answered and was quite excited on hearing i had won the bumper prize of 1 lac.He's the perfect example of "Counting the chicken before they hatch".He made plans on what to do with the prize money.The top priority on his list was to paint the house specially since the ceiling was cracking up,second was to get a second hand maruti 800 and all this before i even came on the phone.Once i came on line ,the person on the other end inquired if i listened to FM radio.Now, since i was working night shifts , i hardly had time for a wink forget listening to radio.I replied in the affirmative coz i was too excited to tell the truth.He went about inquiring what i intended to do with the prize money and if i had a girlfriend.That gave him away and I knew this was my friend Dharmesh from the office.Suffice to say ,i was pretty embarassed and it gave him an opportunity to pull my leg in front of everyone.My father's dreams came crashing down, not to mention mine too.I learnt my lesson and henceforth,i vowed never to play a prank.But then ,you never know, as Arnold said in Terminator, "I'll be back".
