    Default Did you get "Fooled"?

    So did anyone fall for any good April Fools Day pranks?

    I fell for the Starbucks Blog entry about new sizes. I even posted it on my Facebook before I realized that I had been punked!

    How about you?

    I saw your post on Facebook, Bryant--made me chuckle.

    Nope, no tom-foolery for me today. I was blissfully cocooned here at home doing yard work.

    I did like the Google name-switch to Topeka though.

    Nothing major for this year! Although, before my science test today, my teacher told us we needed a calculator and a #3 pencil. Made me worried for a second (I always get nervous before tests), then I laughed. Then someone asked if we actually did need a calculator. LOL. I guess we need it to find out how to replicate DNA?

    A client of mine is a Junior High School teacher, she told me today at lunch hour ALL the students formed a huge crowd and seemed to be cheering on a fairly violent fight.

    The teachers fought their way through the crowd only to get to the center and the fight migrated to another part of the group.

    After a couple of attempts to reach the fight, all the students yelled "April Fools!!"

    Kinda funny!

    As a teacher, I always dread April Fools (Even though I play a few pranks myself). I was elated when I realized that this year we'd be on Easter break for April Fool's!!!! So no, I did not get fooled.

    The best one that someone pulled on me was about 5 years ago... my best friend texted me while I was in a class in college with an urgent tag. As soon as class was over I read the message and it said "I'm engaged!" At this point I hadn't even met this guy so I was really surprised and taken aback. I called her and she kept it up for a good 5 minutes before she said "Oh and one more thing- April Fool's!" It took me a second to register what had just happened. Fast forward to present time and I now love this guy! And, they did get married. I was in the wedding.

    In general, most April Fools "jokes" are easy to ID and my great disdain for the holiday puts me on guard about a week before the day.

    Seems like a lot of effort to put into something where the reward is so little, I don't get it. Also, some of the better pranks end up costing even more to correct than the effort put into creating them.

    You sound like the Scrooge of April Fools Day!
