This morning (a wednesday), I was in my bathrobe getting ready for work...I'd slept in a little so I was running a little late, and E shows up and says..."mommy, you're going to be late for work...oh my gosh!" and before I could say anything he says...April Fools!
I paused for a minute and said, "Well, of course I'm like this right now...we don't have work or school today." He looked at me and opened his beautiful eyes with this look of uncontained excitement...and then I said, April Fools!
He chuckled and realized I'd got him good. Then it made me think of my dad and I shared with E how on one particular April Fool's day (I was probably in middle school), my dad knocked on the bedroom door to wake us up for school - like every other day - but on this day, he said to us...school just called it's been cancelled for today. And WE WERE THRILLED and rolled over back to sleep.
My dad - who is never a jokester just didn't know what to do....and he felt so bad, that he and mom decided to not ruin it and just let us stay home from school that day. After that I always half-expected not to have to go to school on April Fools....
It was a nice little memory to impart on E - he got a kick out of that!
