April Fool's Day is a high holiday in our house.
We got Daddy good this year, better than last year's moving his car. Figured we'd better just confuse him and amuse him this year rather than give him a stroke. He really thought his car had been stolen. oops. luckily we caught him before he called the authorities.
2008:
*put a large rubber iguana in the fridge
*unscrewed lightbulbs-that one drives people cuh-razy
*set the table with cat food
*put a toy snake on the doormat
*turned the chairs upside down
*dressed the pillows with bras
*my favorite: Hershey's chocolate milk powder in the toilet=ewwww! looks real, flushes easily-makes people wonder, did I do that?
Next year we're going to hide all his underwear.
April Fools Facts:
My favorite April Fools of all time is few years ago, in Australia, the BBC announced it had invented "smell-o-vision" and would be sending it out over the airwaves. Supposively dozens of people called to report the success. What a bunch of arseholes.
The fool card in the tarot deck does not represent foolishness but the ability to cast away worries.
WISDOM OF THE DAY, maybe the year:
To quote one of my favorite children's lit authors, Avi, in the gold Newbery winner, "Crispin The Cross of Lead," when Bear the minstrel is apprenticing Crispin, "lose your sorrows and you'll find your freedom."
