Oh hey, what's up?

[There's a pause, perhaps you should tell him why you called. At least until he interrupts...]

Hey, that's cool, but guess what?!

[Another short pause, perhaps you should guess what is so important that John felt the need to interrupt your surely riveting story.]

I am not actually here right now! So leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

[You cannot hope to beat John Egbert in a prank-off. He is simply the best there is.]

Hehehehe...you totally fell for it, didn't you?

[Beep!]

[John has to read Jake's text several times over. He...Jake...]

[What.]

[There's no way he's that oblivious, right? Surely he knows what today is?]

[Perhaps this is some kind of clever counter-pranking measure. Yes. Yes surely that is what Jake is doing. Well in that case...]

hey jake!
glad you enjoyed them. :P

[John.

John, no. No. You're setting yourself up for severe disappointment like this. This is not clever. This is Jake being Jake and he only unconsciously trolls people.]

I only had a bite or two really.
For one thing they make your breath stink to high heaven so i rarely use onions for that reason!
For another i sort of realized that it might not be all that wise to continue on that track.
I mean i like odd combinations like any other person but i think that ones a bit too strange to keep up.
Granted you cant keep me away from salted caramel french fries!

[No, no. No, John is certain that Jake is trying to set him up here. And he will not be bested in a contest like this with his ectodad. Pranking is his turf. So I spy some Strilonde-esque one-upsmanship here?]

salted caramel french fries?
that certainly is an odd combination. maybe i should send you those next time.

[Jake is content to let John think that, really. Yep, that's definitely a thing that's happening.]

Please do!

[oh hey now it dawns on him that it's April Fool's good job Jake]

Oh how has the pranking been going for you?

[Nope. Okay. That's it.]

please tell me that you didn't just NOW realize what today is.

[If only John could hear Jake laughing.]

Ahaha i most certainly understood they were a prank meant for me!
I just didnt realize the date.
Crockers and egberts are notorious pranksters every day after all!
Or most of the time.
