That, naturally, is Backwards Day lingo for "Happy April Fool's Day! "April 1 is everyone's annual excuse to do a little leg-pulling. And since this year's date falls on a Sunday, that means parents have all day long to cook up at least a couple quips or wacky antics to throw off the kids a bit (c'mon – you know you wanna!).
We set our Metro Parent time machine's button back to April 1988 – seriously – for an oldie-but-goody way to have some fun with food: Inside Out Sandwiches! This recipe popped up in our eight-ever issue of Metro Parent – which, back then, was called All Kids Considered. It also suggested trying this recipe for a "Turnabout Day Party," where kid guests wear mixed-up clothing, invitations are written backwards, visitors are greeted at the back door and everyone eats at a picnic table inside.
Whether you want it's part of a bigger scheme or just a fun little family extra, give these quirky sandwiches a try!
