April Fool's Day Coffee

I'm giving it to them right now.  I told them it was a lifeskills grade since we've had "issues" in that area this past marking period.  LOL!  They are taking it VERY seriously, writing away, answering all the questions.  The only thing they should do is read the whole test and do nothing.  LOL!  One of the directions was to not erase anything they write on the test.  LOL!  SO some that "got it" once they got to the end are preplexed because they aren't supposed to erase.  Too funny.  It's hard not to laugh!  

It's all in fun.  I'm taking them outside for an extra recess after this. 

I can't believe you can keep a straight face, I'd have a really hard time.  I'm terriable at lying.

But hey an extra recess, your the bomb!

Ok ... I'll give you the abbreviated version (cuz it's a long, drawn out drama that actually lasted for about 6 months).

Back in college I had a group of guy friends who were always playing pranks.  So I decided (and at first another one of my roommates was in on it) to start a prank on them ..... phone calls to their dorm room asking for "Joey".  My name was Joanna and I'd call about 3 times a week looking for Joey --- who eventually turned out to be a boyfriend who abandoned me and our newly conceived baby.  I was distraught over his neglect, of course and started to bond with these guys who answered "Joey's phone number" ... they got to hear all about my being jilted by Joey. 

Eventually they figured out who I was (they say because of my Michigan accent?!?) and set up a prank to get me back.  One of the guys in the dorm room confronted me and said, "Hey Joanna, we found Joey" -- ok, so he convinced me to keep calling the other guys and that my secret was safe with him.  (My first mistake)  We worked together in the student recruiting office at the college and one night while we were working together he convinced me to make a call to the guys from the office. 

Ok... this is getting long.  So after that call to the guys and I hung up... the phone rang back almost immediately.  It was the "Iowa State Police Department" and I was instructed to stay where I was because a squad car was on the way to pick me up for questioning. 

Of course, being the 19 year old gullible girl that I was, I believed the call.   Started crying, freaking out, wanting to call my parents to ask advice, blah, blah, blah.  So eventually my friend had sympathy on me and revealed that I'd been had.   And just as he told me I'd been pranked, the other guys from the dorm room showed up at the office and laughed their butts off at me.   I booked it out of there and ran back to my dorm -- missing curfew -- and had to live with the shame for the rest of the school year of being pranked by these guys.  And now, 20 years later... I'm still being reminded of it on Facebook.

Yes.... that really was the SHORT version of the whole story.  LOL!

SPILL IT SISTER!

Morning all.

No big April fool's jokes for me, I think this is too obvious a day to get away with something.  But my brother once used a home microphone to announce on the radio that I had won $1000 in a contest.  I went so crazy with excitement that he felt real bad that he had fooled me.  I think those people who buy those fake winning lottery tickets to give to friends so they can film their reactions are just downright mean.  

Gotta say that was pretty funny! 

Sorry!

I've had my Carbmaster yogurt this morning and am drinking crystal light peach mango tea.  It's pretty good.

I've been fooled a lot over the years on April 1st.  Actually, I love it.  Everyone needs a laugh now and then.

QOTD:  I had my taxes done and was told I owed a large sum.  I was sure it was an April Fool's Joke but, it wasn't.  I've never owed before.

Wish I could say that!
