anyway, like i said, i love holidays...all of 'em except april fool's day. it's the one i don't care for in the least. it's not that i don't like joking around and laughin' and fun....nosireebob...that is not the case whatsoever. what i don't like is jokes at other people's expense. it makes me have great anxiety and i have ruined many a friend's big april fool's plans for trickin' another by givin' it all away too soon. i think you know the type o' jokin' i mean...foolin' someone into thinkin' somethin' bad has happened or sometimes worse, foolin' them into thinkin' somethin' good has happened that they will soon be terribly disappointed to discover really hasn't. and unfortunately both those sorta pranks are what april fool's day brings about. so, like i said, i love all the holidays except this one.
i am not sure what category the joke someone in my family played on me falls into...maybe you can help me decide. what i do know is that for the first time in my life, i may just be capable to not only revenge but a revenge prank....and a grand one....and i do believe i may be able to pull it off with out havin' the least bit o' anxiety or guilt....because whoever presented moland with today's entertainment at my expense deserves nothin' less than somethin' extraordinary.
see...since there was no prep work involved, i forgot altogether that it was april fool's day. heck - i didn't even know it was already even close to april! so when i went down to the kitchen to slave over cool tile while i prepared breakfast for mini by dumpin' some cocoa puffs into a bowl, i had no reason to think that the beady eyed creature waitin' in the fridge to attack me was anything but very real.
i am sure in the pictures it is quite obvious that the creature is fake - not even a very good fake....but when spotted unexpectedly while grabbin' for a carton, i could swear it tried to bite me and would have if i hadn't hurled the milk to the floor and ran screamin' from the house. it wasn't until i could hear laughter comin' from hither and yon that it started to sink in...i had been set up.
i am a very good mother (or at least try really hard to be) , wonderful wife (and no one better say otherwise) and there is no other cousin in the land that can compare. no way did i deserve to be scared half to death by findin' one o' the things i fear most in my fridge. so...for the first time ever i will be lookin' forward to april fool's day more than any other holiday on the calendar...and it appears there's plenty o' time now to not only figure out who provided today's treat but for me to prepare properly. suggestions are welcome of course!
hope your day was less heart poundin' than mine and that the sunshine is puttin' a spring to your step!
