What happens when your wife is busy at the hospital on April Fool’s Day? You convince her that the whole family has gone bald, just in time for their son’s picture day, of course. She’s a tough trauma nurse, so she can handle the stress, right?
Meet Jake Thompson and his wife, Lily. Their marriage is filled with laughter, but because of Lily’s demanding job, Jake rarely gets the chance to pull pranks on her while she’s working—understandably so. “I planned this prank for quite some time,” Jake admits. “I had the photos ready for weeks, but her easy shifts are few and far between. Sometimes, she barely has a moment to breathe.”
But finally, a quiet night at the hospital came along, and Jake seized the opportunity to send a series of texts that would send Lily into a frenzy. After all, what’s a marriage if you can’t have a little fun at each other’s expense? With picture day approaching, it was the perfect moment for the classic “our son cut his hair” joke, but Jake took it a step further.
The story begins with the message, “Heyyy,” which immediately signals something is off. Jake took advantage of what was probably Lily’s only uninterrupted lunch break in months. “I buttered her up with our engagement story, then bam! A freshly shaved patch on our kid’s head,” he reveals. Their son, Max, is their pride and joy, and they usually travel 45 minutes to a specific barber he trusts—one they had just visited last week.
Jake knew that for a prank to work, he had to fully commit. As expected, panic ensued, especially when Lily started sending a flurry of texts in all caps. He was pushing all the right buttons. “Photoshop is my thing, but making a shaved head look real was tricky,” he explains. After several failed attempts with friends and hired help, he finally learned the skills needed to create a convincing image.
“Lily is normally a great speller,” he chuckled, “but she was so furious she was shaking.” What could he do to comfort their son amidst the chaos? The prank escalated as Jake continued to tease her.
You can just imagine her thoughts, “Oh. Great.” So how did it all end? Fortunately, Jake is still alive to tell the tale; he updated his Facebook with the comment, “Well dang haha good morning everyone, I survived the night,” alongside a photo of himself looking quite pleased.
It’s clear that this couple shares a bond filled with humor, and Jake has immense respect for Lily’s hard work at the hospital. Last year, a post he shared about her exhaustion after a long shift went viral. Lily has also had her share of fun at Jake’s expense; “This wasn’t my first prank, nor was it hers. I once lost a bet that resulted in Lily’s name being tattooed on my backside,” Jake jokes.
This couple’s playful dynamic is truly delightful!
