Not Taking Calls

Today is a day I learned to dread as a child. My mom, not one to lie, lives for this day! It's the one day she can pull pranks and "lie" all in the name of April Fool's. As a child I would put sticky notes all over my room reminding me not to get fooled...to no avail. You see, my mom plans for this day months in advance and for good reason. She has been able to pull off the mother of all pranks in years past. Then she laughs and laughs when she announces it's April Fool's Day and watches the person she pranked get all flustered...or even tear up. So, as much as my mom and I talk, she knows that this is the one day we won't talk on the phone. She can text or email but that's the extent of our communication on this day.
I thought Rob wouldn't try to pull off a prank but he even tried to get me this morning. He called and, after talking for a couple minutes, he told me that April 14th would be his last day. Luckily, I've learned to be on my toes on this day so I knew right away it was a joke. A friend of mine posted pics of him holding a newborn, saying that his wife had their baby last night. I guess I just have to hole up today, not answering the phone or talking to anyone. My pride can't handle being fooled. =) So, enjoy today whether you're the tricker or trickee and I will talk to you all tomorrow when I know it's safe.
