Zoomboy, with manic smile on his face: Guess what mom! The cat is dead!
Me, watching the cat wander by, ignoring us both: Worst April Fool's joke ever.

Chicken, before running an errand in the new car: So, remember Mom-- if I come back and there isn't a scratch on the car, that means I have done nothing wrong. You understand that? No scratches means no proof.

Squish: What's the best April Fool's joke you've ever had played on you?
Me: Nine years ago, I went into labor on March 31st. April Fool's! Your birthday is on April 3rd.
Squish: *iz laughing too hard to reply*

And it's a beautiful spring day outside-- may you all be surrounded by sunshine and flowers. (My friends in Australia, may you be surrounded by brisk fall breezes and the promise of rain.)
Happy birthday Squish!
