Ok, so I get a call this morning from my 19 year old daughter, Montana, who is in college back east. She calls to tell me she has really GREAT NEWS! I'm so excited, "What? Tell me?" She informs me she has a new puppy. "WHAT! Montana, seriously, you can't have a puppy, you're in school, you'll be working this summer!" By this time she is laughing and telling me how it needed an home and she has named it Fluffy and her boyfriend George has promised to help her take care of it. I respond with "Well give it to him and see how his parent's react." She is out of control now and announces "April FOOLS!" We laugh and laugh. Her boyfriend told her it couldn't be bad, it had to be silly because I was way to stressed he said. He also said that he told his mother my daughter was pregnant and now he feels so bad he didn't want her to go through anything like that! His poor mother!
All in all, it made my day actually to have a silly April Fool's Joke played on me by her this morning and I'm definitely glad she heeded George's advice on my fragile state! His poor mother!
Best,

Oh Lori, thank goodness they didn't do the pregnancy 'joke' on you! Luckily I had a prank free day. I am going to be 'mother of the bride' in October so am having some lovely times with my eldest daughter watching her trying on wedding dresses and being involved in helping her to make 100 hand made wedding invitations!!! So exciting compared to what was going on last year.
When I was at secondary school in the late 60's we used to play tricks on the staff including putting glue on door handles. The staff took it in good stead and only on one occassion did it back fire on us. My class and the class next door decided to go the whole hog and swap classrooms for one of the lessons. We were supposed to be having a latin lesson with Mr Noonan who as well as being a brilliant teacher always smelt of tobacco. The other class were having a geography lesson taught by Mr Klemm, a bit of a dry stick. So we prepared by swapping classrooms. In walked Mr Klemm who quickly realised what had happened and proceeded with the geography lesson he had planned. Not so in the other class. Mr Noonan joined in with the fun and games! I think the egg was truly on ouor faces that day. I never liked Mr Klemm!!!
Hmmmm I got caught this morning by an April Fools...Facebook informed me the Barack Obama listed me as a cousin!!!! It seems I was a 4th cousin so many times removed... but of course it was an April Fools jape. Was not impressed... I never get caught by this sort of thing.
Hey I got caught this morning... Facebook claimed that Barack Obama listed me as his cousin (a few times removed)... not impressed wonder how many other people got caught the same way.
