Plot[]
One morning, Caillou, Rosie, and Daddy are in the kitchen having breakfast, with Mommy still asleep. Caillou sees Daddy taking the clock off the wall and moving it ahead one hour (setting it to 9 rather than 8). Caillou asks what he's doing and Daddy explains he's 'playing a trick on Mommy'. Mommy then comes in and gets a cup of coffee. She notices the time and exclaims how late it is, swearing she thought it was 8. Daddy then laughs and declares 'April Fools!' and the grown ups laugh. Caillou asks what 'April Fools' is, and his parents explain its a day to pull pranks and jokes on your family and friends- as long as nobody gets hurt or upset. Caillou then tries to think about what jokes to play. As Daddy leaves the kitchen, Mommy tells him she'll get him back later.
Caillou tries to prank Rosie by messing up the clothes on her doll. She's too little to understand, and asks him to play dollies with her. Caillou becomes disappointed she didn't fall for it or laugh. Mommy then calls from downstairs, saying Caillou has a phone call. When he answers, a loud roar is heard on the other side. Mommy asks who it is, and Caillou expresses confusion-saying it sounds like a dinosaur! Mommy's voice is then heard on the other line saying 'April Fools!' -showing her in the other room with another phone, roaring into it. Caillou laughs, and tells his Mommy that her joke was good.
When Daddy is reading the paper, he is confused- every other page is upside down! Mommy then laughs and declares 'April Fools!' as everyone laughs. Caillou then figures out what jokes to play on his parents.
When Mommy gets something from the fridge, she finds Rexy in there, followed by a roar, making her jump. It's then Caillou's turn to tell her 'April Fools!' Later, Caillou runs to his Daddy, exclaiming his spring bulbs (which Daddy was planting earlier) grew. Daddy follows him outside, seeing all the flowers. It's then revealed to be another April Fools trick- the flowers were actually fake, making them all laugh.
Trivia[]
- Mommy' line 'How about carrots?' (during a daydream where Caillou imagines replacing her slippers with real bunnies) is reused from Caillou the Chef
