Ah April Fools Day

The only day of the year in which you can play cruel jokes on everyone from the teller at the bank to your grandma and SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE will think it is hilarious. Probably not grandma though, take my word for it.

We have all known since about the age of 4 that April 1st is a day of trickery and lies, yet every year we all have that friend who falls for everything time and time again. You can play a joke on them, tell them it's a joke, and then do it again! Oh how I love those friends :)

I probably get way too excited about April Fools day. I am that person who will try over and over again until I get everyone close to me. I will do everything short of faking my own death to be able to point and laugh at my loved ones. And now that I think about it, that would really be quite hilarious :P

Unfortunately I did not grow up in a trickster family. My dad appreciates a good prank but he is the least gullible of everyone in my family, and my mom just gets angry. My brother is by far the most gullible, but he is 13 and well, he hates everyone and everything right now so I just don't think it's a good idea.

Of course first thing this morning I got my facebook "friends" with a pregnancy status update. I even took it far enough that I could SWEAR it was the truth without actually lying. I took a pregnancy test this morning, negative of course, and then posted "I wonder if pregnancy tests know its April Fools Day because I am hoping this one is lying" teehee. Everyone then assumes I got a positive reading because who in their right mind would want a BFP (big fat positive) 5 months after having a baby.

I never claimed to be in my right mind though :)

I am still trying to think of what I am going to do to poor hubby. But he is not very gullible either, and fact is, I stink at pranks anyways, anyone who knows me well can see right through me.

Oh well, I try lol

On another note, today is my favorite cousins birthday. He is 28 or so (how terrible I don't know) and I have to wonder how many time his mother had to swear on her life that she REALLY HAD had the baby 20 something years ago to those "less gullible" family members.

Oh that reminds me....did you know the word "Gullible" isn't found in the dictionary?
