...or in other words, APRIL FOOL'S DAY! Ahhh, one of my favorite days of the year. As I've said before, I don't like the mean-spirited tricks when victims feel bad. But come on, who doesn't like a good gag! I've participated in April Fool's Day over the years, and my family still keeps me around. I've spent the last few nights getting some ideas off the Internet. This was the first year Edward pulled some of his own. Man I'm a lucky gal! First of all, I invited my old pal Jose over to welcome everyone to the breakfast table. Jose came to be from old Halloween gear from the basement.



Edward also monkeyed with my computer. He set the mouse to move like molasses as well as switched the functions on the left and right buttons.
Last night I painted the soap with translucent fingernail polish so it wouldn't lather when Edward used it in the shower this morning. It was still like that at bath time tonight and Drew asked me, "Why does this soap look like cheese?"
My two favorite pranks of the day were 1). when I sewed the fly closed on Eddie's undies and 2). I smeared a little chocolate pudding on the toilets. Neither one was particularly mature, but they yielded the best yuks! Edward said he was thinking, "What in the world?!?!" when he visited the men's room. Edward was in the bathroom when Elizabeth walked in and saw the pudding. He said she was literally gagging. And I walked in when a sleepy Drew took a gander at the foulness on the toilet. I asked, "Did you do that?!?" to which he emphatically denied his involvement. I replied, "Hmm" and took a swipe and pretended to lick my finger. He had a look of utter terror and disgust on his face. I could hardly get out the words, "April Fool's" because I couldn't even breathe through my laughter. Oh how I wish I'd recorded that moment!
Well, I guess it's time to start planning for next year!
