April Fools can be fun!

Especially if you’re someone who doesn’t usually pull pranks. 

This morning, Hannah asked me to cut the core part out of an apple quarter while she finished her morning routine in the other room.  There were another two quarters, so I cut those, too, and sat down at the table to enjoy them.  When she came into the room, she saw me eating the apple and gave a surprised look.  Feeling mischievous, I said, “Oh, I decided to just go ahead and eat the apple.” 

She looked totally shocked.  So I said, “April Fools!  Your apple is at your spot at the table.”

Coming home from Naomi’s choir around 5 p.m., I said to Hannah, “Oh, I forgot to put about 5 things on your school list today!  We’ll have to do them when we get home!”

Hannah:  What!?!

Me:  April Fools!

We’ve been costing out some of the projects we’d like to do around the house, and our recent trips have brought up short our progress.  Michael knew that I was going to get moving on some of them again, so last night at dinner I said, “I contacted the windows guy, and since we had the bid done [4 weeks ago], prices have gone up 40%!”

Michael:  Oh my gosh, are you serious? 

Me:  No.  April Fools!
