Dad pulls off awesome school prank on kids

A dad has pulled off the most genius April Fool's Day prank on his daughters, convincing them they had to attend school on a Sunday.

Philip Boucher-Hayes faked a text from the girl's school explaining that they had to attend that day to make up for previously missed days.

He shared the hilarious result on Twitter.

The fake text from St Patrick's school said, "We'd like to remind parents that there is school today and tomorrow as required by the Department of Education because of missed days during the snow."

While the girls fell for the prank, reluctantly getting dressed, they were not happy.

Boucher-Hayes shared the joke on Twitter, explaining he set up the prank knowing they were planning one for him.

"I know the evil little s***s have something awful planned for tomorrow morning.

"But they have yet to find out what a truly twisted genius their father is... Wave if you see them waiting for the bus."

The video shows the girls dressed in their uniforms ready to attend school, before their dad yells out, "April Fool's", at which point they break out into relieved smiles.

Well played Dad. Well played.
